Pre-Requisites: If someone tells you that you need to be able to do x-rides in order to do x-up airs, dont listen to them! X-Rides are totally different cause your hands are in a different place. (besides only cool people like us do 1 handed x-rides)

What You Need: Just the bike and any kind of ramp, this trick can be done anywhere, even in bunnyhops

How-To:

1) Go off the jump in a bit of a crouch cause you need a bit of room to cross the bars.

2) Turn your handlebars a complete 180 so that your arms cross making that "xtreme" X shape.

3) Undoing this trick takes 1/2 the time it took to get into it, so you don't even really have to worry about uncrossing your arms.

4) Have your handlebars straight and ready to land.

 

If you're curious on how to land x-rides, just do the x-up, but land without uncrossing them, so that you're riding in the X pattern.
