Not sure what this poll is about? Read all about it here:
---------------
Tailwhip: A Tailwhip is usually one of the first few tricks a rider will learn, although the number of prerequisite skills required to pull off the trick means that the rider may not master the trick until later on in their riding. To do a Tailwhip, the rider rolls forward with one foot on the back peg, and the other foot brung over onto the same side, and placed in on the top of the tyre in between the fork and the frame. As the rider pulls on the front brake and the back rises up, the rider kicks the frame with the foot on the back peg, using the other foot to balance on the front tyre as the bike spins around. The rider then catches the frame as it comes back around with the same foot used to kick it, and rides out from the trick.
Pinky Squeaks: These are a much more advanced trick that the Tailwhip, and it is required that the rider have Tailwhips down to a consistent rate before attempting. To do a Pink Squeak, the rider goes into a small endo with both feet on the pedals. As the back comes up, the rider kicks the frame to the left of the right (depending on the rider), and as the frame begins to spin away, the rider places one foot onto the front peg, and the other on top of the front tyre (bringing one of the feet over the top of the frame). As the frame spins around, the rider scuffs backwards, helping to spin the frame right around. As the frame returns, the rider brings the foot that was on the front peg over the top of the frame, and uses the other foot to scuff backwards and then quickly bring it over the frame too. At this point the rider has returned to the position they were in at the start of the trick, and can keep doing this over and over until they get sick of them (or crash).

Two more polls to go! (I'm running right up to the deadline aren’t I :
