The Kiss of Death: The rider brings his head above the front fender while lifting his legs up and out behind him.
The Ruler: The rider moves the bike and his body vertically.

The list goes on, but there are also variations of many of these Motocross freestyle tricks, making them more complicated, and thus worth more points in the competitions:
The No-Footer Can Can: The rider lifts off of the bike while moving both legs to one side, with his body bent and heels down.
The Double Grab: The rider grabs the seat with both hands and extends his body in an upward motion.
The Rodeo: A variation of the Heel Clicker were the rider puts one hand in the air, circling it, as if riding a bull.
The Switchblade: A trick similar to the Bar Hop, but the legs are positioned on the sides of the handlebars rather than the center.

Beyond these types of tricks, there are also rotation tricks such as the backflip, the front flip, and the 360. These tricks require a great deal of strength as well as coordination. In extraordinary cases, a trick like the double backflip can be pulled off.

The rider also has the ability to earn extra points in the take off and landing. Variations to taking off include one handed, and side saddle. In landing, the rider can boost his standings with the no-hander lander, the one handed lander, side saddle, or the sterilizer.

Some of the greatest riders pioneered many of these variations. Riders like Mike Jones, Tommy Clowers, Mike Metzger, and Travis Pastrana, just to name a few, created these variables, further peeking the interest of curious amateur riders and boosting the popularity of the sport to new heights. There are more large scale venues than ever before. The X-Games, Gravity Games, and Big-X offer riders the chance to show off their stuff while competing for the best standings. Each rider has the chance to go over the top...
