The Pedal Kick

Mountain Bike Skills - Trials/Tricks

Written by Contributed Post

The Pedal Kick is the most significant trick a Trials rider can learn. It can open a new world of possibilities and best of all new lines

(contribution from Segio Rivas sergitobt from Santiago, Chile)

Come to a momentary stop with your brakes locked
Bring your pedals to the starting position with your forward foot just above the horizontal
Release your rear brake momentarily and give your drive train a short pedal kick. Whilst you are kicking lift up on the handlebars
Bring your hips up and forward then let your hips come down and back and let your front wheel come down closer to the ground whilst also ratcheting your pedals backwards to the start position.
Extend your legs forward for extra distance and in preparation for landing.
