Does anyone here ride alot of BMX? - Page 2

I wear bell-bottoms all the time, but I got them out of the guys aisle. If you pay attention to people walking on sidewalks, you might catch a few guys wearing bell-bottoms, but they won't be to...uh...woman'd up.

Backflip! Are you kidding me!? It's where you launch yourself into the air, lean back, do some more weight shifting, and go upside down in mid-air, and try to land on your wheels again. I advise none of you to try it, I know some of you won't listen to a kid like me, but DON'T try this. I'm still destined to land it by the age of 15, but the last time it didn't turn out so well, it didn't hurt that bad after a minute or two, but it can be severe.

I saw a backflip done of a ramp on a Props DVD. You can only do this trick of a ramp, right? Never from flat off the ground or has someone done this too?

Only off a ramp, I'm actually building a special one so I can pull it off. The highest bunny hop on a BMX is only like 4 feet, so it's probably not possible to shift your weight that fast.

I don't have a skate park that even ALLOWS bikes there, but a mulch pile and a sturdy ramp won't be so bad, I just have to rotate it fast...er.
