All of our bikes are built to progress with your riding, no matter if it is your first time at the park or you are a pro on the world slopestyle circuit, our bikes can handle it. Our dirt jump bikes are built tough so you don't have to worry when you case a huge gap or overshoot the landing when spinning a hip. Riders who want to flip, spin or flow through the local jump track or skate park. Your perseverance and talent will play a huge role in how the trick is going to play out, but it is also crucial to have a mean two-wheeled machine that will provide adequate support. Any other usage must be cleared in writing by Ryan Salm.There's nothing quite like the feeling of successfully landing a trick you've been practicing for so long. All images are only to be used in conjunction with the Line of the Week. All images are the property and copyright of Ryan Salm Photography. We will be using the term “Line” loosely to describe anything resembling chutes, big airs, pointers or any general madness. The Line of the Week is a weekly photo piece by Ryan Salm featuring some of Tahoe’s finest athletes doing whatever we deem rad. He will also be exhibiting fine art photographs at the Squaw Valley Fine Art & Wine Festival on July 14th-15th. Ryan currently has an photography exhibit at Syd’s in Tahoe City through August 1st. To view more of Ryan’s photos, check out: The hart attack is done by placing one hand on the bars and the other on the seat and the rider does a hand stand in mid air! Invented by Carey Hart, the hart attack is truly one of the wildest tricks on the circuit. One of the more insane tricks you will see. Superman seat grab w/Indian leg whip: same trick, only this time the rider does a massive scissors kick with his legs before bringing his feet back to the foot pegs. Variations: Superman seat grab: Same as the aforementioned trick, only now the rider lets go with one hand and grabs the seat-extending his legs back even further. Hands on the grips, feet are removed from the foot pegs and extended backwards-paralleled to the bike. One of the more bizarre looking tricks on the circuit. Hands on the grips, the rider brings his feet up underneath the bars, and presses his knees to his chest, then contorts his back so that he’s looking-upside down- out over the back fender. His hands are raised above his head in the “Rollercoaster” position. The rider literally leaves the bike, only to have his toes catch the underside of the handlebars. Note: The rider can land the jump with both legs on one side of the bike for added style and points. Variations: No footed can can: The other foot comes of the peg and both legs are extended away from the bike. The rider takes one foot off of the foot peg and raises his leg up and over the seat so that both legs are on the same side of the bike. Justin daredevil skills sent the place roaring!Īt the time I was not privy to the detailed glossary of motocorss tricks. He then transferred those skills and mastered the art of flight in motocross. As it turns out, Justin had been catapulted off so many bucking broncos in his ranch hand, rodeo days that he got used to doing flips and landing on his feet. While snapping shots of bull riders and cowgirls I was lucky enough to be in the “photo pit” when a man named Justin Ayres was introduced. Being in the right place at the right time is one of the keys to getting good images.
