Not sure what this poll is about? Read all about it here: --------------- Crickets: Crickets are when you whip the back wheel up using the back pegs, putting your weight over the handlebars and rolling for a short distance on the front wheel. Grasshoppers: Grasshoppers are similar to crickets, but instead of pulling the front wheel underneath you and rolling on it for a short distance, you actually do a bunny hop of sorts, and pull the front wheel underneath you without it actually touching the ground.

I never did learn how to cricket, but I'm pretty good at grasshoppers on my oldschool bikes. My newschool flat bike is a tank and hard to hop.

Dont' know of any videos of the grasshopper, but I think it's like a bunnyhop standing on your rear pegs and landing on your front wheel (back wheel in the air in a sort of endo position with feet on the pegs) with the front brake squeezed. You move the bike backward everytime you bunnyhop instead of just up. But maybe I'm wrong ..

Its kind of funny I rode brakeless in 1990, so I could learn hitchhikers, backpackers and rolaids and not be tempted to use the brakes! That and I was to lazy to adjust them or replace the cables, LOL.. It worked though, but I sure flipped over alot...

This has been with out a doubt the first time there has been no submission for Trick of the Month...its another BMX Freestyler Histtory Moment. I had my thoughts about this trick becasue I know I can't do it and its definatly a old school trick that is rarly done. Any how the rest of the months hold alot of promise. Next Month is a Decade...So I know I can do it...just got to do it for the camear Again!!!
Anyone even try Crickets??
