Rider Submitted Description #1

PREREQUISITES:  Good air, flatland decades, no-footers, Indian airs.

DESCRIPTION:  For advanced riders only!!!!!

I learned it on dirt but most learn into a foam pit. Expect to wipe out lots learning this trick. I will expain it spinning to the left of the bike and landing on the right side if you spin the other way reverse the sides.

1. Take off the lip with enough air to clear the jump comfortably.

2. Kick your right foot back like a nacnac

3. Take off your left foot and go with the momentum of your right foot.

4. Spin around the bike like a regular decade.

5. Now, plant your left foot on the top tube and your right foot on the right pedal and prepare to land.

6. Nose into the landing so you don't loop out *make sure when you take off you're leaned back far enough so when you spin the back end stays down

VARIATIONS:  One handed, even a double decade air IS possible!

DESCRIPTION: 

1. It's good to learn this trick on a table-top jump instead of a big double because bailing out of this trick is a piece of cake if you've got something to stand on. If you don't, well, it's gonna hurt. trust me.

2. Approach the ramp at a medium to fast pace (I suggest faster for more air time).

3. As soon as you get off the lip of the jump, take your feet off the pedals and turn your head to the direction that you want to rotate.

4. Keep twisting you whole body (360 degrees) until you can hop back on the pedals.

Remember, this trick is done while the frame stays in one place. Don't let the frame rotate AT ALL!!! It'll take you MANY attempts to get this trick dialed. It took me many many tries to get this trick as well. Have fun!

Rider Submitted Description #3

PREREQUISITES:  Ramp riding, 360's, tailwhips, no footers

VARIATIONS: One handers

DESCRIPTION:

Approach the ramp at a good speed, same speed you would use to do any other trick, but not to fast or you won't have time to land the jump

Right before your front tire leaves the ramp start to gradually carve to whatever side you plan on rotating

As the bike leaves the ramp start to do a 360, only before spinning do a no footer

Once you are spinning try to aim your feet for the pedals

Keep your eyes locked on the pedals until your feet land on them

Once your feet land on the pedals, turn your head straight forward and identify the place on the landing ramp you will land

Land and ride out like any other trick

Rider Submitted Description #4

PREREQUISITES:  Tailwhip airs, flatland decades

VARIATIONS: 360 decade airs

DESCRIPTION:  A fairly large dirt jump is best for this trick.

Approach the jump with normal speed and pump the lip as normal.

As you take off the lip, turn the bars and when they get about a quarter of the way round (45 degrees) take your feet off and twist round the bike, pushing against the frame as you go round to keep the bike straight in the air.

Stretch out your leg (left or right depending on which way your are turning) and hook the frame and pull yourself back onto the pedals.

You should get back on the pedals just before you land.

When I first learned this trick I landed sketchy but you learn to land better as you get this trick dialed.

Rider Submitted Description #5

PREREQUISITES:  No-footers

VARIATIONS:  One-handed and maybe 360

DESCRIPTION: Well, first you have to find a big jump that gives you a lot of air. Once your comfortable going big on it, your ready to try the trick.

Start by going as fast as you can go towards the lip of the jump.

As soon as you leave the lip, turn a little to the left (I spin going clockwise, so this is so you are able to spin faster, kinda like a tailwhip). Then you jump off your pedals at the same time.

Watch your seat the whole time, to spot your landing.

While you are spinning around the frame, keep your feet close to your body, and kinda pull the bike under you.

When you are about 3/4 the way around the bike, stop yourself by sticking your right foot down to hit the frame.

Look for your pedals (or your frame) to land on. Then watch for the landing, and ride away.

I am explaining this the way I do it, with my right foot forward, so if you ride with your left foot forward, just reverse the directions.

Rider Submitted Description #6

PREREQUISITES:  Ground decades, boomoranges

VARIATIONS:  Opposite decade, decade whip

DESCRIPTION: The first few times that you pull the trick you'll probably want to have enough speed to go high off the table top.

Come to the lip with the speed you'd use for a 360 and when you air the table top you'll want to take your right leg and bring it clockwise behind the seat.

As you're doing this, you'll want to take your left foot off the pedal and let it come around with you right leg.

You should twist your hips clockwise so that you'll go around the bars.

You do NOT want too much momentum because then the tail will probably come with you.

As you come around, you should lift your left leg around the frame and as you do that your right leg should land back on the pedal, then your left foot should hit the pedal.

It sounds complicated but they are pretty easy if you give it some time and serious effort.
