All tricks BMX

These tricks take place in the air. Freestyle dirt BMX involves many air tricks.

• Tabletop: While in the air the rider will bring the bike up to one side of him/her by turning the handlebars and using body movement making the bike look like it is flat like the top of a table.
• Superman: The rider removes both feet and extends them outwards to resemble Superman in flight.
• Superman Seat Grab: A variation of the Superman where the rider takes one hand off and grabs the seat while extending their body before grabbing back on to the bars and landing
• Barspin: Spinning the handle bars 360° while in the air.
• Tailwhip: The rider throws the bike out to one side while still holding onto the handle bars so that the frame goes 360° around the steering tube; the rider then catches the frame again and stands back on the pedals.
• Decade: Similar to the flatland decade, the riders throw themselves around the bike while still holding on the handlebars before coming back round to meet the bike and land on the pedals.
• Backflip: Both rider and bike do a backward flip while in the air, usually from one ramp to another.
• Frontflip: Both rider and bike do a forward flip while in the air, again, usually from one ramp to another.
• Flair: Both rider and bike do a backflip combined with a 180, to land facing back down the ramp. Usually performed on a quarter pipe.
• 180°: The rider and bike spin 180° in the air and land backwards, in what is called fakie (riding backwards).
• 360°: The rider and bike spin 360°.
• 540: The rider picks up the bike and spins it 540 degrees.
• X-up: The rider turns the bars at least 180 degrees, so the arms are crossed and then turns them back.
• Can Can: The rider brings a foot over the bike to the other side.
• No Footed Can: The rider does a can can but takes the other foot off the pedal as well, so that both legs are on one side of the bike.
• Tire grab: The rider grabs the front tire.
• Toboggan: The rider takes one hand off the bars and grabs their seat, then returns their hand to the bars before landing.
• Tuck no Hander: The rider tucks in the handlebars and takes both hands off.
• Turn down: The rider will whip the bike out to one side and turn the handle bars into his or her legs wrapping them around their leg.
• Crankflip: The rider bunny hops and kicks the pedals backwards so the crank arms make a 360° spin and then feet are placed back on pedals to stop the cranks.
• ET: The rider is in mid air and pedals quickly as though he is riding normally.
• TE: The rider is in mid air and pedals backwards quickly. A Backwards ET.
• Bikeflip: The rider flips his bicycle without moving his body in mid air.
• Truckdriver: The rider spins the bike 360 degrees whilst doing a barspin in mid air.
• Halfcab: The rider fakies/rollouts and gives extra pedal pressure to pick up the bike and make a 180 degree rotation, completing the fakie, rollout.
• Fullcab: The rider fakies/rollouts and gives extra pedal pressure to pick up the bike and make a 360 degree rotation, making the bike return in the same position, and having to finish the fakie/rollout.
• 540 cab: The rider fakies/rollouts and gives extra pedal pressure to pick up the bike and make a 540 degree rotation, with no need to finish to fakie/rollout.

Variations and combinations of these tricks also exist, for example a 360° tailwhip would be where the rider spins 360° in one direction and the frame of the bike spins 360° around the steer tube, both bike and rider will then meet again, with the rider catching the pedals, facing the same direction as before the trick.
