Trick of the Month April 2020 - Karl Cruiser

[khe killah]

When changing hands Keep your body in the same place in the upright position, don't lean forward to grab the bars. Bring the bars close to your body for the change. Me and Melon were working on these up the mile yesterday and making great progress. I will get a video in before the month is done....

Okay I have complied a list for the rest of the year. Big Props to KHE Killah for breathing life back to trick of the month.
March - Steam Roller
April- Lung Spin
May- Backwards Cliffhanger
June- Stick B
July- Crackpacker - Moya
August- Lard Yard
September- Hitchhiker
October- Mega Spin
November- Endo
December- Trolley
I took as many suggestions as I could and complied this list from the suggested tricks. So there ya go! Lets go out and do some steamrollers for the month of March!
 

 

Here is the list Mark sorted for the year

X2 what you got in mind???                   

I have always tried to keep the list from novice to mid expert level throwing in a mix of front and back wheel with old and new tricks so there is a little something for everyone through the year. I tried link of the month but that just didn't pan out too well. When tricks become too hard there isn't enough interest to get many people trying them or showing they can do it. In December we will make a new list for 2013. I am sure we will use some of the old favorites and add in some of the suggestions.
Stoked to see so much conversation about Trick of the Month, I have been working on it as well. Its getting a little better each time. Its just fun trying!
Keep on Riding!

I really like the idea of Trick of the Month, but the tricks seem to be extremly hard for a beginner(Lung Spin, Backwards Cliffhanger(!?!), Hitchhiker).
I'm looking forward to try posting a video for the Megaspin in October .
Maybe you could make a BTOTM(Beginner Trick ...) thread?

Nice Video's by the way

[khe killah]

I have to be honest i have been thinking the same thing... Maybe we should make the tricks easier as it's usualy the novices who like to get involved! Im thinking...

1. hang 5
2. karl cruiser
3. whiplash

Any other ideas?

How about a half hiker?
Funky chicken.
Decade.


Really like your indoor spot Mellon. Is that your garage?
Next time we move I'm making it a priority!
