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.

tricks
First, before you jump, make sure you
can spin your handlebars all the way around
without the seat getting in the way. Lean
back and spread your legs apart in the air
to give room for the handlebars to spin.
Turn your bars a full 180 degrees again - to
the left or right, whichever you prefer, and
then "whip" them back in the opposite
direction. If you turn your bars to the left
when you cross up, then turn them back to
the right before landing, and vice versa.
Don't get discouraged if you can't get a
full 180 rotation at first. You have to
stretch your shoulders and arms a bit to get
it fully extended.
