The Red Bull X-Fighters’ ABC of tricks:

RULER

"The Ruler" is a kiss of death style trick taken to the extreme. The rider comes off the ramp throwing his feet straight towards the ceiling and also throws the rear end of the bike down. The ruler name comes from getting both you and the bike in a straight position from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock. Straight like a ruler. (picture 1)

HEELCLICKER

The heel clicker is where the rider raises his feet above the handlebars, then - with his hands still on the grips - wraps his legs around his arms and 'clicks' his heels together above the front fender.

INDIAN AIR

The "Indian Air" is a variation that can be added to several leg tricks. "Indian Airs" occur when a rider extends his leg during a trick and then crosses them in a scissor like motion. The "Indian Air" can be added to any "Superman", "no-footed can-cans", and "bar-hops." The farther a rider extends his legs in the scissor, the more points he will score. If the rider faces towards the back when in flight the trick is called a "Lookback Indian AIR".

WHIP

A Whip is when the rider whips the bike sideways in the air so that the bike comes as close to sideways as possible then the bike straitens out for the landing. (picture 2)

KISS OF DEATH

The rider leaves the jump and positions the bike as close to vertical as possible, much like the "Fender Grab." The rider then kicks his/her legs back and up above the head in "Hart Attack" fashion while both hands remain on the handlebars. A polished "Hart Attack" sees the bike and rider in a near vertical position. The rider pushes the front end down and brings the legs back and down to the pegs.

MC METZ

The McMetz is actually two "saran wraps" at the same time. Sometimes called the "double saran," the rider performs a "bar hop," then lets go with both hands and rolls the legs back to the pegs on each side of the bike. The best riders perform this trick with a no-handed lander.

ROCK SOLID

This trick is a combination of a “Double Superman Seatgrab” and a “Nothing”. The rider starts doing the Double Superman Seatgrab, but then he takes his hands out of the grab-holes and continues with the “Nothing”.
