How do it
Spinning steamroller is probably the most common bmx flatland trick there is!
1.
Ride along standing on both the side pegs, push off with your back foot and rotate yourself round the front of the bike.
2.
As you get to 180 degrees you grab the seat and pick up the back end and swing round — so you will be travelling forwards in a circle, but your bike is backwards.
3.
Now we begin 'pumping', i.e. shifting your weight to keep the momentum of the spin. To get out of the trick you use your hanging foot to scuff the front wheel, while your foot on the front peg will pivot 180 degrees. Thus you will scuff the bike to make the bike go forwards and then turn 180 yourself so you face forwards. What's great about this trick is that while you're in the spinning position you can pump and keep the trick going for quite a while.
