Everyone likes to watch the cowboys ride the bucking bronco. Now you can do the same on your FMX bike when you do the FMX rodeo trick. It's sure to be a crowd pleaser, and you can perfect this trick with time and practice.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1
Watch videos of riders like Travis Pastrana. His FMX rodeo tricks are smooth, fluid and well worth imitating. Watch the videos several times to study the timing of the FMX rodeo trick in relation to the take-off, jump and landing.
Step2
Practice a few jumps to get a feel of the track and the jump. Work on getting nice, smooth, high jumps to give yourself a lot of time in the air.
Step3
Jump again, letting go of the handlebars with one hand. Move the other hand toward the middle of the handlebars.
Step4
Swing your legs forward on either side of your hand and click your heels.
Step5
Throw your free hand up in the air like a cowboy riding the bucking bronco (hence the name: rodeo trick).
Step6
Drop your legs and your hands down and keep the bike steady for the landing. Make sure you keep your movements smooth and continuous as you're doing the FMX rodeo trick. You don't want to throw off the bike's balance so you land crookedly or worse.
Step7
Be safe. Always wear your safety gear and your helmet. Take your time practicing the FMX rodeo.
