Best 5 Easiest Bike Stunt Tricks for Beginners
What makes our list of easy bike stunt tricks exciting is the bike accessibility and trail diversity. This means that you can do these stunt tricks on tarmac or bumpy tracks with a bit of practice and persistence.
What’s more, you can even brandish these tricks while trail mountain biking with your biker buddies in the wild. You better practice these tricks on a bike with a flat handlebar because that’ll help you better balance your body and the bike.
Why learn these tricks anyway? It’s because cycling is something that can help you stay fit without hitting the gym and these tricks are a big part of what makes cycling such an intense fitness activity.
So, let’s check out those five easy bike stunt tricks below:
1. Endo Drop
Endo drop is the trick where you ride up an elevated track, jump with your bike and drop back to the ground. But when we say jump with your bike, it’s not like jumping with two wheels in the air. And that’s the real trick here.
Let’s learn how to do this simple trick:
- Step 1: Find a flat elevated space with a slope.
- Step 2: Ride your bike slowly up the slope and park on the elevated space.
- Step 3: Attempt to lift your rear wheel while putting the momentum on the front wheel. The rear wheel will be suspended in the air for a moment.
- Step 4: Give a slight jerk to your rear wheel, followed by gliding through the air by pulling your front wheel with the handlebar.
- Step 5: You’ll find yourself with your bike on the ground the very next moment.
To add variations, you can jerk your rear wheel at a 180 to 360-degree swing (to your right or left). Then you’ll pull your front wheel and land on the ground as mentioned above.
2. Seat Bouncing
This one’s a bit more adventurous. If you have been a huge fan of those action heroes riding motorbikes and jumping off the cliffs, this stunt trick will definitely intrigue you. And this one’s called the seat bouncing.
In this seat bouncing trick, you’ll jump with your bike by riding up the soil-mound-like hills. You’ll ride up the slope of one mound, soar momentarily, and then land on the front wheel on the next slope.
To make the process easier for you, let’s see how it works:
- Step 1: Wait on your bike from a distance of at least 8-10 feet away before the mounting soil track. Don’t use a concrete slope for this trick as a beginner to avoid serious injuries.
- Step 2: Pedal on to build the momentum. Keep your eyes on the mount before you.
- Step 3: Keep building up the speed and ride up the slope.
- Step 4: As you ride off the edge, you’ll soar into the air on your bike for a moment. Hunch a little to direct your front wheel toward the downward slope ahead.
- Step 5: You’ll glide through the air, land on your front wheel, and ride along the slope smoothly as the rear wheel lands a moment later.
Note: There should be at least 2½ to 3 feet distance between the two slopes. And maintain a little tension on your legs. Besides, don’t raise your hip off the seat while your bike is in the air.
3. Firecracker
You can do this trick on a mountain bike. But you don’t need to stick the actual firecracker to your bike to make some noise while doing this trick. Your rear wheel will do that for you. But how?
Let’s learn the trick below:
- Step 1: Ride and go down the stairs (2 stairs to start with) on your rear wheel. You should hold the handlebar and keep the front wheel in the air. Repeat this for a while to get a hold of it.
- Step 2: Now repeat the same trick. But this time, do it on 3 stairs. Repeat it for a while.
- Step 3: Increase the number of stairs (like 5-7) as you’re mastering the basics.
What makes it fun here is the swift crackling noise made by the friction between your rear wheel and the stairs. Remember, you should raise your hip off the seat while doing this trick to avoid injuries.
4. Rollback
This trick is actually what it sounds like. You’ll pedal in reverse. Surprised?
Let’s share with you the trick:
- Step 1: Ride and stand as you’re pedaling right toward a slope.
- Step 2: Ride up the slope up to 5-6 feet. Then let go of the momentum without removing your legs from the pedals.
- Step 3: As you’re sliding down in the reverse direction, pedal backward to keep up with the motion.
- Step 4: Swing your handlebar to make space, set direction, and then ride along.
Don’t speed up as you’re riding toward and up the slope to maintain balance. Practice as long as you need to perfect the trick. Once you’ve mastered it, show it off to your buddies and have fun.
5. No Hands No Feet
This one’s a very old and a bit risky bike stunt trick, especially for beginners. But that’s what you’re here for, right? So, follow the instructions below:
- Step 1: Ride on your bike and pedal up to gain a moderate speed.
- Step 2: Now, remove your hands from the handles. Slowly stretch them away.
- Step 3: Now, remove your legs from the pedals. Slowly keep your knees against the bike while your feet are on the rear hubs.
- Step 4: Try your best to keep your body still and see how far you can go like this.
- Step 5: Practice the trick as long as you haven’t honed the skill.
Don’t try this trick on a bumpy road, otherwise, your crotch may be severely injured.
