BMX stunts
Intermediate
The tail-whip is one of the most popular stunts in BMX. Start the tail-whip by swinging your right foot over the frame at a fast pace and stick it in between the front forks and the tire. Keep your left foot on the pedal and push the frame around in a counterclockwise direction. For balance keep your left foot in the air and make sure to hold the front brakes. Once the frame gets all of the way around, use your left foot to stop it, by placing it on the seat post. Next, take your right foot off of the tire and put it back onto the right pedal, swing your left foot back over the frame to the left pedal and the trick is completed.
The Boomerang is another popular intermediate trick. To do it put both feet on both back pegs. Then, swing your right foot forward and backward to gain momentum and push off the left back peg with your left foot. While doing all of that you need to push off and put on the front brakes. Once you reach 180 degrees, or you are half way around, you will let go of the front brake so the back of the bike stays on the ground. Next, start creating an arc and when you are at about 90 degrees apply the front brakes and place your foot on the right pedal.
