How to Prepare for a BMX 540 Hurricane

ANDY SEEHAUSEN: Hi. This is Andy on behalf of Expert Village, Seventh South Clothing and Ramp Riders Skate Park. In this series, we're going to be talking about the 540 hurricane. I'm going to try to break it down step by step. Show you guys how to do it, how it's done, what it looks like and what it is, 'cause most people don't know what it is and just kinda give you a rough idea of how to attempt it at your local skate park. Even before you even try this trick, you need to know which direction you're going to spin. Usually, you are that experienced where you know what you're doing but just for this purpose, it all depends on whether you're left handed or right handed. If you ride with your left hand, pedals are usually facing this way which you'll going to spin off to the left. What the pedals do is with your back foot back here and spinning in the left direction, your back foot is actually going to kick the back end of the bike around. If you're right handed like I am, your pedals are going to be like this and it's going to be the same principle. You're going to spin off to the right and this foot back here is going to kick the back end of the bike around which in turn is going to help you spin. Also, when you go up for the trick, you need to remember to keep your head turn and try to spot your landing every time. If you don't do that, you're going to end eating the coping, and you're going to have a really nasty bruise right here, and you probably won't be able to move your arm for about a week.
