How to Ice Pick

In this BMX trick tip you will learn how to Ice Pick. Approach the transition with your pedals leveled, riding fast enough to just before your front wheel hits the coping, start to turn to the left or the right. This is the crucial part of the trick where you will need to do a lot at once. Twist your body to get the bike parallel to the coping and pull up on the bars to get the front end up to about 45 degrees. It is important to keep an eye on the coping and make sure that your rear peg is above it. Now you can bang that peg on the coping and push the bike towards the platform and your weight into the transition. If the bike is falling on the platform, pull the bike towards you and the transition. If the bike is falling into the transition simply push it towards the platform, extending your arms. In order to hold the bike on the rear peg, you can gain your equilibrium by moving your weight back if the front your end is falling or forwards if it is flipping backwards. To complete the ice pick, allow the front end to start dropping and turn your weight and bike into the transition.
