No Footer

First of all, I strongly suggest wearing shin pads when attempting this trick. Also, you need a little air time to get this one extended good. It is also helpful to have your cranks tightened up, so they won't spin around when your feet come off. Start by taking your feet off just a few inches and then pulling them right back in, well before landing. Make sure you land with your pedals level. As you gradually spread your legs further apart each jump, you may notice the rear end of your bike drop down some. This is natural, but try to keep the bike fairly level; doing a no-footer with the bike in a vertical position is not a good thing. If you mess up, you can usually get away with landing one-footed, but higher speeds and bigger jumps will be less forgiving. In most cases, if it just doesn't feel right, and you don't think you are going to pull it off, you should just bail. Toss the bike and crash. It's better than slipping your pedals and having your legs scarred for life. There is an art to crashing - seriously. With practice, you can minimize injuries by knowing when and how to bail.
