Street BMX Tricks – Medium

Double peg grind

Both pegs grind across a surface. This trick is done usually on handrails and on ramp coping. When you’re grinding, you need to lean over the railing to balance yourself.

Smith grind

Hop up onto a surface. Land on your back wheel. Bring your front peg down onto the edge of the surface and grind across it. This is an awkward position to grind in if you aren’t used to it. It may sound impossible to slide oen of these but once you start doing them they’re as easy as feebles.

Icepick

An icepick is stalling on a surface with your back peg. Bunnyhop up on a wall and land on your rear peg. Stall there for a second, and then hop back down. Don’t stall too long, because that will make it harder to hop back down. At first it may be hard to jump back down. Lean and hop away as hard as you can.

Nosepick

To do a nosepick, bunnyhop and land on your front wheel on a curb or bench or any other raised surface. Land with your front brake on. Balance there on your front wheel for a second or so. Then do a small front wheel hop off of the curb. You can do this trick by jumping off a hill or a ramp, nosepick a wall, and then jump back into the ramp or hill. There are many variations of this trick like a nose-pick to tailwhip or a manual to nosepick. There are countless things you can do with it.
