Do a Cradle on a Mountain Bike

A step up from the endo. A nice easy trick that looks pretty good too.

Steps

  1. Get some reasonable speed like when attempting a endo.
  2. Pull your front brake tightly and lean a little forwards to lift your rear wheel off the ground.
  3. Now that when you are in the endo pull your back brake tightly and rock backwards to lift your front wheel up.
  4. repeat the process again but it isn't necessary.
  5. Let go of brakes and pedal out of it, trick done!

Tips

  • Make sure you have good brakes.
  • Don't lean too far forwards or you will end up flat on your face - not good.
  • Practice it and if you fail at first try again!

Warnings

  • Do not practice this trick on loose surfaces such as gravel.
  • Always wear a helmet.

Things You'll Need

  • A bike.
  • A good set of brakes on the bike.
  • A helmet
