FMX
Extreme Bike Beach Show is an annual event that
occurs on the Orange County's Huntington Beach.
The riders generally come from California.
They
ride up a huge rubber ramp on their specialized,
motorized bikes and perform all sorts of stunt tricks.
Some even turn completely upside down while flying
through the air, then releasing their hands and
feet from the bike as seen in the picture above.
It's an extremely exciting show to watch. This
event usually occurs in conjunction with the
US Open of
Surfing.

Trick: Bunnyhop ...more
tricks
A bunnyhop is coming off the ground
without the help of any jump, ramp,
drop-off, etc. Pick up the front end with
your upper body, then pick up the rear end
with your lower body, mainly your legs. This
move is essential for street riding. Keep
practicing until you can get at least 2 - 3
feet high for hard-core street riding. The
bunnyhop is a simple, basic trick, but one
of importance.
Nosepick
To do a nosepick, do a bunnyhop, hit your
front brakes, then push the front end of the
bike down into an endo (all this while still
in the air). Aim for the edge of whatever
you are trying to nose-pick such as a curb,
wall, bench, whatever. Hang there on your
front wheel for a second with your front
brakes still locked, and then do a little
front wheel hop just prior to jumping back
off. This trick is not limited to a bunnyhop.
For example, you can jump a hill or a ramp,
nosepick a wall, and then jump back into the
ramp, hill, or whatever. There are different
ways you can hop back in. You can nosepick
something at an angle, turn a little bit on
your front wheel, and hop back in front
wheel first. This is ideal for hopping back
into a jump. It is not recommended to hop
back in front wheel first onto flat ground.
You can also hop back in backwards and fakie
out of the trick, which is somewhat more
difficult. There are many variations of this
trick (nose-pick to tailwhip, nosewheelie to
nosepick, etc.
