nice job Melon! beauty of this trick is you can practice it with very little space

last time i did totm i was already working on this trick when it started, but this thread really motivated me to get them down a little better. they've improved since this, but you can see how i'm just starting to lock into the spin in it. hope it helps!

maybe a couple months? not sure to be honest, but not super long. when you hit the sweet spot, you'll know, and it will improve very fast then

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

I still haven't started catching hang 5's properly yet lol :) 
''let me tell ya something i did a front n rear wheel hang on the cloping on the slide of the spine, now i stick to street!''

''do you freestyle?''

However serious you take it general public sees us as just dicking about on 'kids' bikes, some people could do to remember that and smile a little.

Hang 5 is a tough trick to learn. But once you get it, its not too bad. As far as chaning tricks, all the tricks in the list came from the message board originally minus Backwards Cliff. Paula is doing those and Cliffhanger was once the trick of the month last year I think and we had a rider learn it in a month.

  In the years of doing this I have found that if the tricks are too simple or too hard then the motivation level is not there. With the current list in place I don't want to to change that because there are some people that may not be posting but they are reading and trying out these tricks. What we can do is generate a second list for the rest of the year. There is no reason there can't be 2 tricks of the month. We have done that before as well. So lets start out with May with a different list. Through out some tricks. I think HANG 5 is a great start!

For me personally I can do a Cliffhanger but not backwards. I am sure there are a few people out there that can do it fwd but not backwards. Its all about pushing each other to try new things. Not that we can learn that trick in 1 month. It just gives us all something to focus on for awhile and stay motivated together.

Well the list was taken from suggestion from the board here. They really are not pro level tricks. They are mostly intermediate to advance. Staying motivated is the real goal. If you notice on the list it switches from front wheel to back wheel so everyone has a opportunity to particpate and have fun. I don't do any backwheel tricks. So when it comes to back wheel tricks of the month its a challange but its fun because I want to learn as much as I can and still have fun.
