In continuing with our more advanced FMX tricks, we’re going to kick it up a bit this week. The Kiss of Death is defiantly not for beginners or even worse, the faint of heart. You will essentially be doing a hand stand on your handlebars whilst in mid air…Scarred yet? Didn’t think so, so let’s get to it!

1.) Warm ups. No need to cut corners, especially with this trick, because you will get effed up, if you slip up.

2.) Once you pop off the ramp, you want to make your bike, as close to vertical as possible. DO NOT hoever, push your bike farther in front of you, than you are.

3.) Throw your legs in the air like you a true player! You’re gonna need some arm and core strength on this one, because like i said, you will be doing a handstand mid air.

4.) Return to your proper riding position and land with a slight grace, because you sir. are a gentleman and a scholar!

Here’s some visual stimulation of Travis Pastrana pulling off the Kiss of Death.

So go out there and kiss death, then take it out to a nice seafood dinner and never call it again! Also make sure to wear your nicest dirt gear, you are after all, a gentleman. Safe Riding!
