FMX Trick List - Bar Tricks

Shoalin Bar Hop 

Cordova

Stripper

Dead Body

Stale Fish

The freestyle motocross, bar hop trick is a relatively easy trick to learn. It also serves as the base move for other, more advanced tricks, some riders get on well with bar tricks, some then tend to shy away from them depending on the learning experience of the bar tricks. It can be very easy with the bar tricks to get caught up with the feet and end a pile on the floor!  Once a rider has mastered the basic Bar Hop of getting the legs through the bars, and when the bar Hop Has been perfected and stretched out , variations can then follow such as the Shoalin Bar Hop and then the super stretched out Dead Body. Also once you`ve got a Bar Hop dialled there is also the Mcmetz , where a rider will let go of both hands on the handle bars so the feet can be brought back around on to the bike and the rider then grabbing back on to the handle bars. Stale Fish a kind of wrapping the legs around one the arms on the bars .Sterilizer which if you can do bar hop is basically landing the bike in the bar hop position being sat on the handle bars when landing.A rider can also work on putting the feet on to the top of the bars and then work on the Cordova where a rider places the feet on to the bars and then arches the body back .The stripper is a kind of mixture of the bar hop and Cordova , where in the Cordova position a rider puts one foot through the bars.

Trick List - Cliff Hanger

Jack Hammer

Cliff Hanger

Christ Air

The rider stands up straight in the air with feet on the underside of bars, some riders like to clamp their feet to the top part of the fork legs , this is why some time you ll see riders use grip tape on the top part of the fork legs to help with grip.Cliff hanger can then take on a few forms , such as the Christ Air & Jack Hammer depending what the rider does with his hands and body once the feet are hooked under the handle bars! A Christ air variation of the cliff hanger the rider will look like they are stretch out looking as far back as possible with the feet tucked under the bars.The jack hammer will look like a tall stretched out version of the cliff hanger.

Trick List - Superman Seat Grab

Superman seat grab - Carey Hart was the first person to publicly do this BMX trick at the first IFMA events in 1998-1999, and since then the seat grab has evolved some what from the early days. Riders can now vary the Standard Seat grab in many ways, and one of the first ways a rider will try to improve their stock seat grab,by crossing the legs and making it into an Indian Air Seat Grab. From here a rider will try to work on getting the Seat Grab inverted , meaning the rider will progress to try and get their feet up above their head making the Seat Grab into a Hart Attack Seat Grab. It is then possible to style up the Hart Attack Seat Grab ,by either arching the legs and back, the Scorpion Hart Attack Seat Grab, or again by crossing the legs and making it in to a Hart Attack Seat Grab Indian Air. Also by getting the head to look back adds a certain style value.  A rider can then add more technical value to the Seat Grab combinations by either doing all the variations mention previously with 2 hands the Double Grab and all the variations as mentioned,  or by either hanging on to the seat with just one hand Seat Grab and all the variations. A rider in the early days of their FMX career will be keen to get the Seat Grab on to their trick list as many other tricks can then be achieved in quick succession once the basic seat grab has been nailed.

What Time Is It ? 9 O'Clock Nac Time

This trick was first done by Travis Prastrana at X Games 2001. The rider lifts body of the seat and then hangs off the bars in the 9 O'Clock position. Riders can then progress this trick further, like chris Birch bellow making it a Crack Nac and for extra radness throw the bike into a massive whip and you ve got a flat liner dialed

FMX Tricks - Dead Body

The Dead Body move Invented by Drake Mcelroy. Riders would start of with a simple bar hop , just getting the feet and legs over the bars and keep pushing it until the body is laid out flat over bars and the front of the bike.Here we can see Jon Ritchie giving a whole new meaning to the word stretched out Dead Body!
