180 to tire Trap
(it is best to learn this on a mini ramp until you can do it on the ground). Get average speed going up the ramp. Hit the lip and do a fly out and 180 by kicking the rear end around as you're about to land. Lean back slightly and lock back brakes. (David the Jesus)
360
know what foot you go to the ramp into) If you go with your right foot, spin to the right and vice versa. When you get to about one foot before the end of the ramp, jerk your front tire to right and follow through with your body. Master this motion and soon you will get a 360. (Matt)
Curtain Call
Go as fast as you can and hit the ramp. Once you are five feet in the air, put your left foot on left front peg and hold on with just your left hand. Take your right leg and arm off the bike while holding on with just you left arm and leg.
Flatland Bar Spin
Start with your left foot on the left back peg. Keep right foot on pedal. Slow down to a walking pace Put your left or right hand on the front of the seat. Pedal quickly with the right foot and pull up with your hand that is on the seat.
Try balancing with your front tire up and spin your handlebars around. Grab the handlebars and put everything back on. (Once you get good at this, you will be able to do 3, 4, or 5 bar spins).
Superman
Get a lot of air, and keep on trying. It'll take a little (okay, A LOT) of pain to get it right, but it's well worth it.
Turndown 360s
The key to doing a 360 is to turn your head and upper body in the direction you plan to spin throughout the rotation; where the head leads, the body will follow ... hopefully.
Double tail whips
To do a tail whip, 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 pedal away. You've done it!
720s
Bigger spins take more windup with the upper body (throwing your body into it), and more time to come around. Entering a spin slightly on edge can help get the bike turning, but wait until you've left the ground to really start the rotation (spinning too early may cause you to catch an edge).
Turn your head and upper body in the direction of the spin as you leave the lip of the jump. Continue to look that way-over your lead shoulder-until you spot the landing. Fixing your sights on the landing and extending your body will stop the rotation, allowing you to set 'er down real nice.

Winning Endurance Mountain Bike Races
The proper preparation for winning endurance mountain bike races is a multifaceted endeavor. Did ya catch that? I mean, Do you want to win a 12 or 24 hour mountain bike race this season? Well listen up. There are a lot of things to consider, so the best approach is to break it down into parts to make sure you have your bases covered, or at least your saddle.
I will discuss the five key elements that a racer should focus on to win endurance mountain bike races. These include the physical demands of the bike trail. What type of mountain bike to race. What kind of gear is needed. The mental state of mind a ride should have. And finally, what the racer should eat before, during and after the race.
Physical training is the one thing that most people would concentrate on before entering an endurance race, but what are the finer points of physical training? This isn’t a fun ride in the BMX park with your buddies. You will be asking your body to perform for an extended period of time. To prepare for this, good riders, will spend ample time on their road bikes. They are focusing on spinning. This is keeping a constant pace in regards to your pedal stroke and concentrating on pulling up on your pedals with the same force as when pushing down. Rode riding will allow you to focus on your heart rate as well. Many riders train and race with a heart rate monitor. Training with this technology, you will be able to increase endurance much faster than in the past. Racing with this technology you will be able to maintain a heart rate zone that your body can endure all the way to the finish line.
Riding the right bike may seem a bit silly to discuss, but is an important factor in an endurance mountain biking race. The racer, you, needs to be familiar with the race course. Bike weight can play a big role in the energy need to win the race. If the race course is mainly logging roads, double track and the like then a hard tail or even a single speed bike will perform great cutting down on unnecessary. If the race course has several rock gardens and technical sections than some riders will choose a dual suspension cross country bike.
Having and, more importantly, organizing the right gear for the race may be the deciding factor in a close race. If you know that your laps are taking one or two hours a piece then you can separate your gear into bags and label them according to time of day or lap number. This means fresh clothes (long sleeve for early and late day laps and cooler clothes for mid-day laps,) Put your bike light in the gear bag for nighttime laps along with clear lenses and maybe some chamois grease or Bengay. These bags are also where you can put lap specific foods.
I think mental preparation is where many athletes fail in any given sport. Be prepared to pep yourself up throughout the day. This is going to be a long day. There will be times when you feel down or even think about quitting. This is a good time to remember that mountain biking is fun. You are here because you like it. Put some pink streamers on your handlebars. Say, thank you, to someone cheering you on. I promise you will get more energy back than you spent saying it. If something bad does arise (i.e. equipment malfunction, big wreck) just relax. You will be much better able to solve it with a clear head. Remember: you will be here all day.
Lastly, the food you take in before, during, and after your race will dramatically affect your performance. Athletes should always maintain a balanced diet. Take in consideration the weather when planning your race diet. If it will be extremely hot on race day think about extra salt and potassium. I will sometimes add salt to my sports drink and force myself to eat an extra banana. DO NOT try anything for the first time the day of a race. You will be stressing your body out enough just racing. You do not want to start a lap take a suck of drink and find out that your stomach can’t handle an extra teaspoon of salt in a quart of sports drink.
There is much more to an endurance mountain bike race than hoping on a bike and pedaling fast. You have to pedal fast for a long time. The best way to be the best you can be on race day is to be prepared. Prepared with the right training, the right bike the right gear, the right food, and the right frame of mind. For the all the gear, click here. The rest is totally up to you. Good luck.

i cant bunny hop on flat land with my GIANT mountain bike, but can lift my front wheel up high and fine?
ive heard stuff on youtube saying things like keep your pedals equal on level ground and one foot positioned up more and the other facing more down, and to try and scoop your back wheel off and my friends who can are just saying to keep my weight forward.
Ive been trying to really legit do this for about the past 2 weeks and still cant...please anyone i need help and am getting a bmx for xmas so i really want to know how to.....
I am also working on my bunny hops and I watch YouTube for help. I found the one about scooping the back wheel up rather helpful.
What I found that seems to work for me at this time is--stay with me here b/c I hope makes sense- A). dont be afraid to really lift that front end up. B). as you have the front up tilt your toes down (so they dont come off the pedals) and curl your toes so they act sort of like a hook with the pedal and scoop as the YouTube guy says. and C). stay loose and dont over think things.
I can bunny hop going slow but I am still really working on hoping over obstacles with only mild success. I can bunny hop pretty good with my SPD pedals but thats sort of cheating.
All the hint I gave is what is working for me at this time and I am sure as both of our skills increase things will change. good luck and Godspeed.
