I've done that before, and it did not do nothing, but I was not very high in the air. If you were hauling the mail, and did it, the results would not be good. You see, when you tap the rear brake, you basically get the front where you want it, then gas it again, so it stops the front end from continuing to dive. Works really well too.

you know when i started tricks, the one hander was first, but i could not take it off and put it back on, i had to touch something, mostly my helmet, it looked funny from the old videos i have, it was like hand off light speed to the helmet, light speed back on the bars, almost like i had a bee or somehting on my face. one thing tho is i got a lot of pratice at one handed landers.

Yaaa the one hander I like doing heel clickers,nac-nacs,and no footed can cans.Dont like doing the hands off tricks,but I can do a no hander.I like the nac's because with everyone learning to throw down whips over the finish,its always fun to be different

Ok, so it wasn't aerobatic...but the coolest trick I ever saw, was done by a trials rider. He came to a stop, turned off the engine, pulled out the kickstarter, restarted the bike and rode away....all without ever putting a foot down. Yeah, sounds simple.

whips imo is the best looking trick around when done right

Hey how about the " I knew I should've looked at that jump before I did it trick". I also threw in the "came up short to handlebar into goggle". Just to change it up a bit.
WOW

YEP! I quit freestylin

In general, though....a lot of us worked terribly hard, for a very long time and put up with a huge amount of crap, trying to legitimize Motocross in the eyes of the general public, the media and the "sports world". It seems that our dream was finally becoming a reality and we were finally being recognized as "athletes", participating in a "real sport"....then came the "freestyle mx" clowns.

I respect their stuntman skills but just because they use mx-based bikes, that doesn't give them the right to associate their (alleged) sport, with Motocross. A clicker over the finishline jump is cool, it's Motocross tradition but performing repetitive, speed-robbing, whateverbatic tricks....that ain't Motocross, that's just slow.

travis pastrana raced mx before fmx, and he still races some mx and sx for fun

my first time out at the track i pulled off the 'hit the powerband at the top of the jump face, nose in the air, push my bike away, skin the right side of my body, bend my handlebars and wish i had equipment.' i dont recommend it however, see it was a heat of the moment thing.

OMG HOW?

[krazy kris]

mine was an unintentional superman and then it just escalated to trying the backflip. I got it muscled almost all the way around but my front tire caught the lip of the landing and threw me face first into the ground. Broke 4 ribs, punctured a lung, and jacked up my neck. and I havent been back on a dirtbike till I bought one a week ago. LOOK OUT BACKFLIP HERE I COME. lol
