Simple Motocross Stunts For Beginners

Have you seen all those high jumps and daring stunts that all those expert motocross riders do either live or on the television? Maybe you are thinking that you'll never be able to achieve such things. But fear not there are simple motocross stunts that the beginner can easily practise and learn to do. After all every motocross rider has to start from somewhere don't they? Here are just a couple of simple motocross tricks you can start mastering straight away.

The Simple Wheelie

A wheelie is probably one of the simplest motocross stunts, and I would recommend it be the first one you learn. The best way to practice a wheelie is on a hill. The best way to take off when practising the wheelie is by using the clutch, and if you feel yourself toppling backwards you can use your back brakes to steady yourself.

The Basic Stoppie

A Stoppie is kind of like the opposite of a wheelie. Instead of the front wheel coming off the ground and into the air, the back wheel is used. The stoppie is done by using clever braking methods, and transferring the weight of your body forward by rocking back and forth. When practising the stoppie, it is important that you keep you body upright.

The wheelie and the stoppie really are very simple tricks to master with a bit of practice, and they should be mastered first before learning the more difficult ones. When learning any kind of motocross stunts you should exercise extreme caution, as most stunts can be extremely dangerous. Always wear a helmet to protect your head, and maybe even knee and elbow pads whilst learning the ropes. You should also always practice your stunts with a trained expert close by.
