Grinds
Grinds are where a rider’s bike slides along a surface (rail, ledge or ramp) on a part of bike other than the wheels of the freestyle bikes. In order to do that they use “stunt pegs”. Stunt pegs are short tubes attached in line with an axle that project out from the main frame of the freestyle bikes. Besides pegs, grinds also involve the crank or pedals.
Air tricks
These kinds of tricks take place almost exclusively in the air. The riders on the bike throw themselves to the air and perform trick while they are in the air.
Flatland tricks
