BUNNY HOP
A BunnyHop is getting both tires off the ground without a ramp or anything. Just pull up on the handlebars, get the front tire in the air high, then use your legs to lift up the back wheel. Level the bike out by pushing down on the handlebars.

BAR SPIN
While rolling at a slow speed lift the front of you bike lean back and squeeze the seat with your legs and spin the bars all the way around.

X-Up
While in the air, turn your handlebars 180 degrees to either side, then quickly turn them 180 degrees to the other side.

NOSEPICK Start off with a bunnyhop. Hold the front brake on and set your front wheel on whatever you are trying to do the nosepick on (like a curb or bench). Balance there on your wheel for as long as you can, then push off, land, and ride out.

ICEPICK Bunnyhop onto a wall or rail or whatever, and land on your back peg. Hold it for a few seconds, then hop back down. What do you do with the front tire? Keep it in the air. Aim for a vertical position. An icepick grind would just be an icepick with the peg grinding (moving) along.

TOOTHPICK Bunnyhop onto whatever, and land on your front peg. The opposite of an icepick.

FEEBLE GRIND Bunnyhop onto a rail or wall, land on a back peg, and grind along. Your front wheel should rolling along the top of what the peg is grinding on.

DOUBLD PEG GRIND Just like it sounds-bunnyhop onto a surface and grind on the front and back peg.

SMITH GRIND Bunnyhop up to a grinding surface, let the back wheel roll across the top, and have the front peg grinding along the surface.

PEG STALLS Jump up onto some coping with the front and back peg on either side of the bike. Lean into the coping, and just sort of hang there for a while. Hop back in by leading with your front tire when you are done. Like the name says-it is just stalling on the coping.
