Endo
Description: an endo is where you ride and stop on the front wheel. It just helps with overall balance and isn't that hard until you put variations in like no-footers
Pre-Requisites: None at all, this is a first trick kind of trick.
What You Need: Flat ground. A not too slick tire or front brakes.
How-To: There are two ways to do endos, three actually, but #3 is bad.
 
FRONT BRAKE method.
1) Roll at a slow speed, not too slow, otherwise you won't be able to keep your balance.
2) Lock your front brakes and get ready to do step 3
3) Push your handlebars forward while tucking your booty behind your seat (The seat tucking is just to make it look slightly more impressive, it can still be executed without tucking though)
4) While still holding the front brake, lean backwards with the back brake already locked. You'll rock back and forth once and have enough momentum to roll forward.
 
FOOT IN FORK method.
1) Same as front brake method.
2) Prepare your foot by taking off whichever foot you feel comfortable with (I ride left foot forward, so translate for yourself if you ride right foot forward). I take off my left so I have my left foot dangling between my front tire and my frame.
3) Jam your foot in your fork and push forward and tuck like in method #1. The only difference is that you'll have a foot dangling down in your fork.
4) To ride out of this one, put the bike down first and then put your foot on and IMMEDIATELY put your foot back on.
 
In my opinion the front brake method of endo-ing is a lot easier, but most people dont have front brakes. Work on both tricks and eventually you can work this trick into nosepicks, and those look really cool.
