If You Could Learn One Trick, What Would it Be?

I've always been a fan of a nice sideways whip to a table on the way back down. So sick.

Ever since my bmx days, I've always loved a good Superman seat grab. For now I'll just dream (not my pic):

Actual scrubs. Or, fake scrub bar turns to whips, for pics.

Always style over tricks on dirt.

Andreu Lacondeguy style??

I'm working on getting flips. A relatively "easy" trick that wows the crowds.

Flat, nasty whip. We used to call them tabletops on BMX bikes in the '80s, as in, "flat as a tabletop."

I have friends that can throw them more than flat on motorcycles and it blows my mind. You'd think after this many years of trying, I'd be able to do it, sort of. Nope. :-(

If I could lay down the nastiest scrubs whenever I wanted it would probably really help with racing, otherwise, imagine being able to bust a front on every jump with ease

tabletops to fly low on the jumps or a good whip like really sideways.

I'm a man of simple dreams...I wish I could manual for more than 1 meter.

no handed banana grab. bar none.

Always wanted to be able to 360. I reckon the 360 is most stylish thing you can pull over a jump or off a drop, especially when you can steeze it out like Lacondeguy

Not crashing.

Nose manual

I'm with JLutzy - 360 ftw. Or a backflip but I reckon the 3 would feel nicer and you can style em so many ways. The flip would be just one of those tricks that I'd be stoked to be able to show off but a nice 3 would be what id unlock.

t-bog or 3 and do em' smooth like BF.

I'd like to do huge high speed manuals anytime I like as Brendog did in his section with Semenuk when they rode that amazing trail in Hawaii or Fiji

I'm not a trick guy... at all. I'll send gaps if they're on a track or the hits on A-Line or Fade to Black at Whistler, but a bar-turn or slight tweak is about all I can manage. It's sad, really. Personally, I've always wanted to be able to do a good shoulder buzz // invert. I don't know why but everytime I see someone throw a big one, to me, it just looks so damn good.

So, If you could learn one trick that you could nail every time and look steazy as hell every time you do it, what would it be?

Inverted tables like the OP. I'd love to do them like Kyle Strait.
And doing whips like Aggy or Semenuk.
And manuals.

Nasty whips, or scrubs... One of the two.

FRONTFLIP

Legendary Bar humps. All day

definetly a nacnac like fairclough does them

Always been able to whip, table, 360 and even barspin.... However the real show stopper of the backflip variety always eluded me.

I used to tell kids in my hood that learning a trick on a mtb is like chopping a tree down with a steak knife ........it takes a long time, but eventually the tree falls, and then you will always be able to do that trick for the rest of your life. You may get rusty at it, but once the "neurological pathway" or "muscle memory" is established .....it is always there.
