Answer 1

Before delving in too deep, you are best to keep practising your balance and being comfortable on a bike. Bunny hops, manuals (a wheelie without pedalling, using knees to balance.) Peg manuals (using your rear peg to stand on with one foot, whilst using the other foot to balance.) You can also try footjam's ( roll slowly and jam your foot in the font tyre behind your fork until your rear end comes up.)

If you are comfortable using your peg, find a low ledge a few inches over peg height and practise feeble grinds (front wheel on ledge, rear peg grinding.)

After you become comfortable, the sky is the limit, but I reccomend learning the basics before trying a skatepark.

Answer 2

Manual? 180? No footer? Nothing? Barspin? Improve on bunnyhopping? Wheelie a parking lot? Practice rollbacks? Learn how to do a whole icepick? Come on, use your imagination. :)

Trickwise, go to www.bmxtrix.com.

Also if you dont use that back peg, take it off. All it's doing is adding extra weight which you dont need.

(my pegs I took off weighed 300gms each so with 4 pegs and extra 1.2kgs)
