Not sure what this poll is about? Read all about it here:
---------------
Sliders: While sliders may not offer a whole lot of variation, they are one of the tricks that looks great while being quite easy to learn. To perform a slider, the rider rolls slowly forward with both feet on the back pegs. The rider then pulls on the front brakes and lets the rear tyre rise up and fall back to the ground, using it as momentum to get the bike to roll backwards. As the tyre hits the ground, the rider leans backwards and puts one hand onto the underside of the seat to hold onto, brining the front wheel off the ground by just a fraction. At the same time, the rider turns the front wheel sideways. The combination of the front wheel turned sideways, with the bike sliding backwards while it appears to be flat on the ground, creates a strange illusion.
Dork Wheelies: Dork wheelies (sometimes also called Peg wheelies) does not have many variations on its own (apart from no handers or one handers), but it can be mixed with other tricks. For example, the rider can do a Dork Wheelie and a Decade at the same time, or can be linked into tricks such as a Dump Truck. Dork wheelies take the difficulties of doing a normal wheelie, and increase it by giving you very few options to stop the bike falling forward (whereas a normal wheelie you would pedal forward to bring the front wheel back up), so this trick requires a lot of balance. To do a Dork wheelie, the rider rolls forward at a medium pace with both feet on the back pegs. As they stick one leg out to the back, the rider pulls the front handlebars upwards, finding a middle point where the bike is balanced, and continues to shift their weight backwards and forwards, maintaining a long roll on back wheel.
