BMX, or bicycle motocross, is known for its impressive tricks and stunts. Here are some classic BMX tricks:

  1. Bunny Hop: This is a fundamental trick where the rider jumps both wheels off the ground simultaneously without using a ramp.

  2. Manual: A manual involves balancing on the rear wheel of the bike while pedaling without touching the front wheel to the ground.

  3. Wheelie: Similar to a manual, a wheelie involves lifting the front wheel off the ground and riding on the rear wheel only.

  4. Barspin: In a barspin, the rider spins the handlebars of the bike 360 degrees while in the air.

  5. Tailwhip: The rider kicks the back end of the bike and makes it spin 360 degrees while staying in control.

  6. 180: In a 180, the rider spins the bike 180 degrees in mid-air or on the ground.

  7. 360: A 360 involves a full rotation of the bike, either in the air or on the ground.

  8. X-Up: The rider twists their body and the handlebars in opposite directions to form an "X" shape.

  9. No-Hander: The rider takes both hands off the handlebars while in the air.

  10. Superman: The rider extends their body horizontally while in the air, resembling the flying position of Superman.

  11. Tabletop: The rider extends the bike parallel to the ground while keeping their body upright.

  12. Wallride: The rider rides up a wall or vertical surface, using the bike's momentum to maintain balance.

  13. Grind: Grinds involve sliding or grinding along a rail, ledge, or other surfaces using the pegs or the bike frame.

  14. Flair: A flair is a combination of a backflip and a 180-degree rotation, performed on a quarterpipe or ramp.

  15. Double/Triple Tailwhip: Advanced variations of the tailwhip trick, where the rider performs two or three rotations of the bike's back end.

These are just a few examples of classic BMX tricks, and the possibilities are endless. BMX riders continually push the limits and invent new tricks to showcase their skills and creativity.
