I have hit some jumps and tried to throw a little bit of table and flair style into my jumping. But how big a jump, height and gap do you guys suggest for trying tricks, no-footers, no handers, etc.

 

[mtbfeed]

alot of people can throw tricks off 2 foot jumps, it just depends... 3-4 ft. jumps should be a good size for learning easier tricks though like what u mentioned.

Yea like mtbfeed said kats that are skilled can do tricks on small jumps or hips. I started doing my first trick on this 4' tall dub with a 7' gap. It gave me a lot of air time to belt out whatever I could dish. Now that I'm more comfortable and can boost pretty decent I'll rock a 3 on a small 2' dirt mound.

I've seen some pretty nutty moves pulled off on very small jumps.

that is probably the best response you will get. however the most important thing is that u are COMFORTABLE and u can get over easy

I was doing no-footers off a 9" lip (piece of firewood) over a 2' campfire last weekend. Once you are comfortable with the tricks (which are learned more easily with more air time), you will be able to go bigger with them and smaller.

Yeah I don't have a huge bag of tricks but the best way is to find a jump somewhere in the middle of your comfort zone. You want plenty of air time when you're learing new tricks, but not something so huge you're hanging on for dear life. Once you get em dialed it becomes easier to make it happen on smaller stuff.

most bmx guys can do 360s on flat...you really dont need that big of a jump, just dont make it to lippy, or foam pits!!!!!!! <3

 

[Cru Jones]

You guys are way off. I think you need at least 9 foot tall lip and a 25 foot gap to start doing trix.

people can bunnyhop tailwhip bmx bikes, it is not the size of the jump its the skill.

 

[opjones]

A box jump is really the best to learn tricks on, no matter what the size.

Sometimes you don't need much for tricks:

Granted it's Scotty Cranmer and he could prolly do most of his tricks riding thru a swamp.

D'OH!

and how do I find this magical swamp to teach me how to do tricks like that? j/k, but yeah, he can pull anything, just about anywhere, very true it seems.

haha, crazy stuff, absolutely so far beyond me it's insane... If I could just do one tailwhip on one roller, I'd be more than a happy man.

 

[Mtbike]

That was awesome! Do you have any video of guys doing that on 26' wheels?

 

[.:Jeenyus:.]

i wonder how many people learned to tailwhip on flatground first.

 

[spacemanspiff06]

i'd suggest a jump thats got at least a bike-lenght gap, landing and launch. maybe 2-3' tall. bigger is better as long as your comfortable with it. if your not, you're gona have a hard time with the tricks.

 

[marzbomber888]

u gotta be conferitible man im a freerider and i also BMX a little on the side and i can tailwhip (witch i am extreamly proud of) and i learned on a 3ft jump so yeah wat ever feels confertible later

peace
