How to Do an Ice Pick BMX Trick

If you're up for trying some tricks on that new BMX bike, then learning to do an ice pick is a good place to start. This simple freestyle maneuver is done by stalling your rear peg on a flat surface. If you don't have a ramp, you can do it on a 2 to 3 foot wall. You'll need to catch some air with a bunnyhop before trying this stunt, so you can actually practice two tricks at the same time.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Set up the ice pick by starting with a bunnyhop. A bunnyhop is simply coming up off the ground without a ramp or jump. Get a running start and pick up the front of your bike with your upper body and the rear of the bike with your legs.

2. Complete the bunnyhop. Get your bike high enough in the air so that you can land on the wall or surface you're using for your trick.

3. Land on the surface using just your rear peg and hang there for a second. This stall is your ice pick.

4. Hop back down by leaning your body away from the wall. Use the bunnyhop trick with your legs controlling the rear of the bike to help you get down.

Tips & Warnings

• When stalling on the wall, your front wheel should be in the air the whole time.
• Don't stay on the wall too long as the longer you stall, the harder it will be to hop off.
• Always wear a helmet when you do BMX tricks, and if you're a novice rider, wear some gloves and knee pads, too.
