i don't mean to be that guy, but that's not a messiah.  sitting on the seat no-handed is a messiah.  just sayin

that would be a cliffhanger

No, he's not talking about the seat in front of your crotch. Ass on the seat,no hand is a real messiah. Like the way wolfgang use to do it.

I believe K Jones invented the Messiah, and that's with your butt ON the seat.

Um, if your sitting on the seat no handed, how exactly are you keeping the back end up?
I'm missing something..

K Jones did it with his bars turned backwards...and his knees were up against the lower bends in the bars.

Tried to find a picture of it, but none that I could find on the internet.  He has a great picture in Freestylin' magazine doing it, I believe it was 1988.

Anyways, just a name.  Carry on.  Both tricks are awesome.

When I first started learning this that is exactly how I was doing them. Everyone at the O.G. was telling me to let the bars rest on my legs. Thats how I learned how to do them now. I have seen many tricks called different things over the years and we would all be talking about the same trick. I looked over on my favourite refereance for tricks 23mag ad Messiah was not listed. I started calling it a Messiah after Glen did the interview with Chase and the lead picture was told to me as a Messiah

http://www.bmxfreestyler.com/2010/03/bmx-legends-interview-with-chase-gouin.html

Thats when I knew that I wanted to learn this trick and thats what I have been calling it ever since.

Call it what you like.just go out and do it. Post up a video or a photo. Show your support.

Good video of Brad, Mark.  That's the one I was talking about.  Both are hard tricks(to me, at least).  I need to try one.  Mark, I need you to show me a few "tricks" to doing this, and then maybe we can film me trying a few.  I'm totally going to suck, but I want to try it for Trick of the Month.

Right on!! After you figure it out its not too hard. Its basicly finding the point of balance and keeping it..The hardest part for me was finding it and keeping it. I have only flipped over hard 2 or 3 times. Most of the time I will catch my self before I hit the ground. Don't get me wrong you can very easily hit the ground and get tangled up in the bike but I have been fortunate in my journey to only have that happen a small amount of times.

I will text you soon.

I did practice my two footed Steams the other day.  When I quit riding flat many moons ago, two footed rolling stuff was just coming out, and I never learned it.  So now I need too.  Time to progress!

Do you think it's a good idea to get Hang Tens down first?  Probably.  But you're right, I'll never learn it if I have a crappy attitude.

I would highly recomend learning to place your foot down while doing a hang 5. The easier you can coast that way and balance with out your brake. You will find it easier to control. Just take it one step at a time like building blocks. One thing will lead you to another!
