Welcome Abord Narely!!! The first few beginner tricks I teach anyone who is just getting started are Endos and Tailwhips and Infinity rolls. These are some of the basic building blocks for more tricks to come. There are a couple of How to's here on the main site but there is also www.bmxtrix.comwww.bmxstunts.comEach of these sites have some great how to's for many kinds of tricks. There are many rider here that can help you with all kinds of tricks. I have been working on adding more How to's to Freestyler but you can also learn just from watching video clips. Giving you Ideas of different things to try out. I hope you enjoy your visit here and make lots of friends!!! Keep on Riding! Mark

YOu can do it 2 different ways that I know of...one is with your foot. Sort of jam it in the front wheel and that will stop you from rolling and your bike will lift and you will go Forward. The other way is with a curb. Just roll up to a curb and that will stop you from rolling and lean forward. You will want to do this at a slow speed. Its not easy to endo from a fast speed. Lets know how your progressing.

What your doing now are called squeakers. You don't need brakes for most every trick out there but they sure do help. I watched several of my riding friends do them with out any breaks. Just control with there foot and balance. I am still using my breaks to stop me from falling over. They key thing to do is when your not using breaks to use your foot as a break as your falling over. Just sort of let your foot drag on the wheel as it is moving to slow you down. Eventually you will be able to push your self and remain in the spot you want to be in. It just takes practice and learning the balance point.

hahahahaha i was outside riding for a while and i was starting to get the hang of it i was able to push backwards a little bit till i got too sure of myself. i think i pushed to hard and i went face first into the pavement. i pulled a muscle in my thigh rite above my knee. im going to try and ride some more tomaro. tomaro im going to get 2 more pegs for the other side of my bike i think that is going to open a lot of doors for me. 400$ and my bike didnt even come with 4 pegs. tsh... well talk to you latter. pEAcE
