A bicycle is a favorite means of transportation for sports youth in the warm (and not only) seasons. However, young people do not stop at a simple ride, but strive to surprise and amaze others by performing various tricks.
It is necessary
- - bicycle;
- - helmet;
- - knee pads, elbow pads.
Instructions
Step 1
Get a feel for your bike first, especially if it's new. Check the brakes to make sure they listen well. Get used to the maneuverability of your bike so you know exactly how far you need to turn the handlebars to complete your intended maneuver.
Step 2
Do not use a bike with narrow tires for stunts. It is also worth refusing to perform tricks on a walking and touring bike.
Step 3
Prepare to ride while standing most of the time, as most of the tricks are not done while sitting on the seat.
Step 4
Determine the leading (i.e. front) leg.
Step 5
Be sure to decide for yourself that any turns and turns must be done on the leading foot in order to avoid injury. Don't try to relearn. Muscles automatically memorize frequently repetitive movements, and you may not be able to navigate the actions and get confused, deciding to perform a trick on the other leg.
Step 6
Learn to balance by applying the front and rear brakes.
Step 7
Try to lift the front wheel off the ground while holding the brakes. In this case, the arms must be straightened, and the center of gravity must be jerked back.
Step 8
Practice the jump on the rear wheel. First, find a calm, level place for your workout. Set gear 1-4, 1-5 or 1-6 - choose the most convenient for you. Stand on your rear wheel, keeping your arms straight. Retract a third of a turn with the pedals. Shift your weight slightly forward so that the front of the bike is slightly loaded. Release the rear brake lever and immediately jerk the pedal with your leading foot. Lock the brakes.
Step 9
Try a front wheel jump using the same principle.
