BMX is not just racing. In the sport of BMX you can learn to do tricks. Their are 3 levels of tricks, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Some tricks are.
Curb Endo: Basically, the name is self-explanatory. All you do is ride up to a curb at a slow walking pace. When your front tire hits the curb, throw your weight forward, un-weighting the back of the bike. The back wheel will come off the ground, hold it as long as you can, then put your weight towards that back of the bike, bringing you to the ground.
Squeaker: To do a Squeaker, start with your left foot on the left front peg. Your right foot can either be on the right pedal, or on the right back peg, whichever is most comfortable. Do and endo by slamming on the front brakes. Quikly move your right foot onto the front tire. Then release the brakes, push the tire backwards with your foot, and quickly apply the brakes again. Do this as long as possible.
Tailwhip: To do a Tailwhip, swing your right foot over the frame, and when at a fast walking pace, jam it in between the front forks and the tire. With your left foot still on the pedal, push the frame around in a counterclockwise direction. Keep your left foot in the air and use it for balance. Make sure to hold the front brakes. When the frame gets all of the way around, use your left foot to stop it, by placing it on the seat post. Take your right foot off of the tire and put it onto the right pedal, then swing the left foot over the frame and onto the left pedal, then peddal away and smile at the cameras.
Handlebar Ride: This trick takes lots of balance. Roll forward at a slow walking pace. Put your right foot over the handlebars and onto the right front peg. Here's the tricky part. Grip the seat with your left hand, keeping your weight back. Swing your left foot over the handle bars and onto the left front peg. To get out of this, reverse the process.
