How To Funky Chicken | BMX

Doing the Funky Chicken is a must if you’re going to perform BMX flatland tricks. You should have Scuffing dialed in before attempting it.

Now we’re going to show you how to do the trick but you’ll need to combine it with a couple of others to ride in and out of the Funky Chicken.

1. To start you’ll want to be on the front pegs facing the rear of the bike similar to the beginning of the Fire Hydrant. A 180-degree spin should get you in position.

2. Once in position lift either your right or left leg over the bars and grab the seat with your corresponding hand.

3. Push down on the front tire and lift from the seat to get the back tire off the ground.

4. Now start scuffing. This will keep you moving so you don’t just fall over. Falling over has no part in the Funky Chicken. That’s more like the Dead Chicken.

Now you can also turn your handlebars left or right to keep your balance.

That’s all there is to it! Of course there’s just the matter of getting into and out of the trick.
