Some of the best tricks on two wheels

Check out this collection of tricks that require skills most of us can only dream of having:


First up is Mike Spinner's quad whip, where a bike nearly becomes a helicopter:

Next up is Benny Phillip's front flip tailwhip attempt from Crankworx, there are a few BMX guys who can do this but using a mountain bike it looks even more mental. 

Harry Main's bunnyhop flair is just out of this world.

Here is Special Greg of Nitro Circus fame , his signature 'Special Flip' is something to behold

Finally, here is the worlds first BMX triple Backflip courtesy of New Zealand BMXer Jed Mildon

 

 

But remember,  two wheels a day keeps the doctor away.

The art of the bunnyhop

The bunnyhop is one of the most basic but essential mountain bike skills.

Here is how it should be done, amazing:

In contrast here is a particularly nasty example of a bunnyhop FAIL:

But this is something that everyone really needs to see, much more than just a bunnyhop:

To hone your own bunnyhopping skills here is Sam Pilgrimto guide you through the art of the bunnyhop!










Whether or not you can or can't hop - remember, two wheels are better

When did all the bmx's turn into scooters?

A good friend pointed out to us at 2WB the other day that kids in skate parks don't really skate or bmx any more.  It appears to be all about the scooter, you know these things;

I suggested that there can't be many variants of the basic scooter design and that eventually these kids would buy a proper bike and then found these;

It turns out that even the humble scooter can be improved upon, have you ever ridden one.

Tiny Bikes will rule the roads

We are feeling a little goofy today at 2WB and have decided that we want to buy some tiny bikes, for commuting.

Is this the most or least patriotic tiny bike ever (he appears to be mixing his flags)

Safety first as the great helmet debate rages on, even in the world of tiny bikes.

I don't know about you but I think all tiny bikes should still come with a saddle

You can't beat a tiny motorbike, but how often do you have to fill up the tiny petrol tank?

Sadly in the world of tiny bikes the stunts are a little less impressive

Remember when it come to tiny bikes....Two Wheels are Better

Lake Jumping 35 feet in the air..with a breakdancer

This is top of the 2WB list of things to try, apparently it's a lot trickier than it looks.  Also notice the breakdancer 30 secs in (is he really necessary)

When you need to make a dramatic dive into a lake remember Two Wheels are Better.

Real BMX trick that used to only be the realm of video Games

Vital BMX recently posted this video of Mike Clarke going from a Hang 5 to a front flip it is crazy and the kind of stunt I thought I would only see in video games.

Mike "Hucker" Clark's Hang 5 to Front Flip during the 2011 Vital BMX Game of BIKE - More BMX Videos

Just to prove it's a video game trick watch the nosegrinds and hang 5's in this clip of Matt Hoffmans Pro BMX 2

Even in console format Two Wheels are Better.

8 yr old attempts a double backflip

I am sorry but how cool would it be to have a dad who builds you all this stuff in your back garden.

Manfred Raikes (age8) knows Two Wheels are Better.

Favourite BMX Stunt - Matt Hoffman on a Massive Ramp

Everybody loves a good extreme stunt video but generally these days it's X-Fighters or Dirt Jumping on suspension bikes that cushion the impact.

Where is the guts and the gusto?  Where is the pain?  Where is the Evel Knievel spirit?

My all time favourite bike stunt video is still this one where Matt Hoffman set the highest air world record, on a BMX......OK he was towed by a motocross bike but even The Condor can't pedal that fast.

Can you think of a better video?  Post a link in the comments thread and I'll stick them up if I deem them worthy.
