Freeride biking is a prominent discipline within the BMX community. While certain BMXers stick to a specific riding style, freeriders opt for an all-terrain approach. The freeride BMX features a versatile design that can adapt to dirt ramps, concrete parks and steep downhill racing courses. The freeride bike is equipped with a lightweight yet durable frame constructed of metallic alloys such as chromoly. The stall refers to a beginner trick that involves balancing on the cylindrical pegs of the freeride bike. Transworld BMX recommends learning the stall on an inclined ramp known as a quarter-pipe.
Step 1
Push the pedals of your freeride bike forward until you reach a comfortable speed. Bend your knees as you approach the quarter-pipe ramp. Lean back slightly as you begin to climb the sloping face of the ramp.
Step 2
Lift up on the handlebar grips as your front tire reaches the apex of the quarter-pipe ramp. Extend your legs to jump vertically while keeping your feet aligned over the pedals. Raise your knees toward your chest to allow the tires of your freeride bike to ascend off the ramp.
Step 3
Rotate your shoulders while turning your freeride bike 90 degrees. Align the cylindrical pegs of your freeride bike over the metallic edge of the quarter-pipe ramp. Bend your knees as the pegs land on the coping of the ramp.
Step 4
Stand in a stationary position for a brief moment to execute the double peg stall. Pull up on the handlebars grips to lift the front peg off the coping of the ramp. Turn the bike 90 degrees to point the front tire down the sloping face of the ramp.
Step 5
Lean forward as the tire of your freeride bike roll down the quarter-pipe ramp. Extend your legs as you reach the flat bottom of the ramp to maintain your speed. Practice the double peg stall until you can land the maneuver consistently.
