360 Tail Whip

360 Tail Whip? Mamoru 315! (662 trail), originally uploaded by koitalow.

Great silhouette shot from koitalow. I wish I knew all the trick terms, like "360 tail whip." By this time in my life, I'm too old to keep up.

Maybe I should start making some up!

1. Locked Elbow Descent: Hold the grips firmly, lock your elbows, put your keester out over the rear tire, and go down a long hill with no brakes.

2. One-Handed Farmer Blow: While seated, hold the grip with your left hand and press your right index finger to the side of your right nostril. Turn head slightly to the left. Blow. Hard.

3. Taco Stand: Perform a huge jump on a rickety rear wheel. Flatten wheel upon landing and keep bike upright for at leat 5 seconds while sliding along the landing surface. Cheer for yourself.
