There are many old and new tricks always being performed.   You can tell what tricks are liked the most, by how many riders perform them.

The Back Flip

The newest and improved trick by the riders is the back flip.  This is a complete revolution of the bike and rider.

Tsunami

This is a kiss of death variation.  The body comes up over the handlebars in a wave like motion or a handstand almost.

Cordova

This is a classic trick that still impresses the crowd.  This happens when you hold the handlebars with your hands and feet and push your body up.

Starfish

The starfish is a barhop where your legs come through your arms and over the handlebars.

Dead Body

This is a harder over the handlebar trick where your body comes straight over the front fender.

Cliffhanger

This trick uses your handlebars, your feet, and guts.  This is when you hold the handlebars with your feet and fling the rest of your body straight back.

No Handed Lander

The no handed lander is a little add on trick, usually added at the end of a run when no hands are used to land.

Whip

The whip is a classic trick that helped form the newest competition in a FMX show.  The whip contest is to see which rider can pull off the biggest whip there.
