50 BMX Tricks For Beginners (In Order/How To/Step By Step)

Welcome aboard! Here you’ll find a how-to list for your first BMX tricks, which I tried to put in order. This is the first part of the trilogy, which continues with the intermediate tricks and then with the advanced tricks.

Before jumping into the list, a couple of disclaimers:

We all have different skills, thus, the exact level of difficulty you give to each trick will most likely differ from the one I choose for them. However, to make it as realistic as possible I did this ranking taking into account a bit of my experience but mostly the general notion/consensus of how hard each trick seems to the average BMX rider.

As for the order, I avoided mixing the land tricks with the air tricks. I put the ground tricks first and the air tricks at the end because I think it makes more sense to acquire total control of your movements and balance on the ground before taking bigger risks trying them 10 feet up in the air.

Also, there are some particular cases, like the Bunny Hop. It’s listed #4 here and, again, you may find other tricks further down the list that you feel are way easier than the Bunny Hop, however, it appears #4 as it’s a fundamental trick that you’ll really need to get familiar with to be able to nail a lot of other tricks.

Without further ado, here they are. Put on your helmet and pads… and enjoy!
