I am sure the guys who ride and bust out big will chime in here, but I think the defacto standard trick to begin with and move on from would be a heel clicker. Getting good at moving around on the bike and judging your timing with that trick allows you to practice and still have a firm hold on the bars. From there it is whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to stay near the front of the bike and try more bar tricks, that is a natural progression. Or you could balance your abilities and start walking back and trying seat grabs. Thing is to make sure you feel super comfortable on your takeoff and landing before executing a trick. Oh yeah, the step after that would be to post pictures here!

first u should find a jump u jumped several times and feel good during jumping
or better if u have a lot of place to ride u can build a little woodramp (it is cheaper for the beginning) and then u could start doing tricks like nohanders or no footer ,heelclickers....:D
where are u from in slovakia iam from germany

What kind of moto you ride. I had an accident this weekend adn i broke of the frot brake m.m.:(

your gonna have to get use to that, breaking your front brake and clutch is the most common thing that breaks on ur bike.

try and understand this:p, if you put some kind of really thin rag under the perch of your clutch and brake (i think some one told me they use teflon) when you drop your bike instead of the levers snapping off they just move and can be easily moved back but are still steady and wont move around while your riding.

also you can drill a hole at the end of your lever (where the knob is) so when it falls it will only snap the tiny bit of the end off and you wont have to stop riding:) hope this has helped

you should start doing no footers, no handers,(combonations) then move to maybe can cans, or heelclikers. i think the best way to progress in the sport of fmx is to get your jumping skills down and be able to have control of your bike in any situation. after you can do this, you can start taking body parts off. to work on can cans, no footed can, indian airs etc., practice bringing one leg up to you seat and bring it over a little more each time. soon you'll be able to extend your cans, then move on to no footed cans. also to work on throgh the bar tricks or arund the bars, practice bringing one leg up toi the barsa at a time. this will increase your confidence and helpm you to become more flexible. you should also strech before doing tricks, it makes you more limber and lessens the chance of getting hung up or not getting good exztensions. the best thing to do is to either watch toher riders complete tricks, or watch a fmx movie, and observe a trick step by step, then practice it on your bike on the stand. good luck, and never ride over your head!
