Ignore the idiot above.\n\nHang 5s are the devil's trick, they are so difficult it is untrue.\n\nI don;t know what your problem is, you didn;t give nay info so I'll just try to go through them.\n\nYou can learn the balance point without having to ride into them by standing on a curb and just gettin gthe bike in the right position to balance over the front with your foot on whichever peg you want it to be on.\n\nOK, so if you have a basic idea of where the balance point is likely to be (it wil change when you start to move in the position) you can start to ride in to it.\n\nYou want to be riding slowly about walking pace when you learn, so that you don;t die when you flip over the front... it iwll happen... alot.  In fact, people tell you that you need to fip over to learn the balance point, just like you do for manuals.\n\nI am going to go through brakeless hang 5s, but you can just add in your brakes whenever you think you need them if you run them.\n\nSO, walking pace, feet on pedals.  In one movement, shift your weight forward, put whichever foot you want on the peg to the peg, with your weight over it and kick the back of the bike up with your other foot by pulling back on the pedal. That should all mean that the back has lifted and you are in the hang 5 position, except your foot is on the pedal.  SO take it off and use it as a counter-balance.\n\nYou want your seat to be wedged in your butt crack.  Try to keep relatively upright, rather than crouched over the front, as you will be able to move and balance more easily.\n\nComing out is easy, just shift your non-peg foot to the pedal and lean back.  Put your peg foot to pedal and ride off.\n\nHope that helps.\n\nhttp://www.westernveil.com/

How old are you? If you're a kid, stay at home and watch Discov or Animal Planet.\n\nElse, give us all favor and do the jump. Knock yourself out... literally and permanently.

How about... Diamondback Assault? Although you probably couldn't go wrong with a Haro Blaster or Dyno Fury....\n\nCheck out this website: http://www.angelfire.com/il/bmxracing/page2.html\n\nHTH

anything on a bike is risky. as soon as you swing your leg over the seat and ride down the street, your taking a risk.\n\nstunts are even more dangerous. if you want to start doing stunts, start out small than gradually work your way up to the bigger stuff. nobody starts out as a pro.\n\nand be prepared to fall a lot.

The easiest way to do this would be to remove your chain. This will let you pedal and not go anywhere. You will have to find a way to make the bike stationary so you can keep your balance while you're on it. I suggest removing the front tire and building a stand to prop the front tire frame in.  Make the stand level with the back tire so it will be exactly like riding a bike when you are on it.

A BMX bike is typically fixed gear ratio so you must pedal at different cadences depending upon if you are up a hill or down to maintain the same speed.  \n\n    Now a mountain bike has usually 18 to 21 different gear ratios (that is three on the front and seven on the rear) which you can vary your gear ratio so that you can pedal at the same cadence but vary the amount of mechanical force you are receiving with your effort.  \n\n    So a BMX might be able to provide for a fun ride since you don't have to think or learn about how to maximize your effort, a mountain bike would be able to provide more return for your effort and therefore you won't have to work as hard to go longer distances or cover those distances in less time.\n\n   So if you wish to use the bike for the next x number of years to just have fun then a BMX is the way to go, but if this is the last bike your dad is buying for you, you might want to think longer term on getting to places a bit more distant than you can cover using a fixed gear system.

Go to either one of the below web sites and find a track near your home - there is a search "find a track" on the sites. These are the two largest organizations involved in BMX racing.  I cannot stress safety enough in this sport and I highly advise buying a chest protector, and I don't care what anyone says.  Chest trauma with a handlebar or pedal from another bike can be very dangerous in BMX. I saw a a real super star rider get slammed in the chest with a pedal and he wasn't wearing chest protection (plain ignorance on the parents part).  I don't care how good or how highly  ranked the kid was, accidents happen).  My son wore a FOX chest protector and I can't tell you how many times this saved his chest and he walked away uninjured. I would also have him wear eye protection, depending on the condition of the track. People will tell you that they can create an injury, chest protectors.  I work as a nurse in an ER, I can't not begin to tell you about chest injuries in sports.  BMX racing can be very safe, provided you invest in the protection. It's really helpful to talk with other parents at the track.  I find most parents to be eager to help and there are a lot of nice moms involved (and Dad's) in the sport. I just walked up to people and asked questions and the parents at tracks were always great. Also, have him wear gloves. It's a very fun sport and my son had a blast without any injuries, just some scrapes. Many of the tracks offer introductry courses on racing. I think it's great sport. Take care

My cousin had a banana bike, and we rode double and we used her feet as training wheels.. She taught me how to ride, and we had alot of fun. Thanks! I am sitting here chuckling about it, and that was almost 40 years ago.

You can go to indoor or outdoor skateparks that allow bikes, call around, ask some skaters. Get pads, wear a helmet and even when things get broken, remember to always get back on and ride\n have fun!

go to your local bike shop and hit them up for some gear,tires, cleaners,  lube ect.. go out prove your self keep them informed of how your doing.then after your spanking the boys hit them up for cash. also hit up companies like Parts Unlimited for product most companies like donating their merchandise

I saw a thing on TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine, and Ryan Sheckler says how to set up with your front foot; it should be a few inches from the back bolts of the front truck, get a good amount of speed, smash the tail into the ground and do the highest ninja kick you can, let the board flip under you, catch w/ your feet or hand, keep it the catch (unless you are grabbing it, release it after catching it) and land.\n\nI don't know it sounds pretty retarded ;)

Well that depends. Are you tryin to be a street balla or you just playin some one on one? An easy way to impress your friends is to pull a move on one of them and kinda embarass them. I was doin some moves on one of my friends in one on one and i had him on the ground so i went right by him lol. I aint the street balla type so if thats the type of moves you lookin for look at other answers. But just practice between the legs behind the back and look up some other dribbling drills and in games you can do moves like fake crossovers, one or two hands. or another one to do is if you get good at putting it back and forth between your legs just keep puttin it in between your legs and wait for him to lean one way then fly right by him to the hoop. you can also try the behind the back, spin moves, etc. look some moves up on the internet or id reccomend the Better Basketball Better BAll Handling video. you can download it on limewire..
