My question about the trick is more of a name choice. Is the Earthquake and Superman frontfender grab the same trick? Or is the Earthquake a different variation?

I've always known the Earthquake as a One Handed Superman Front Fender Grab, I remember seeing a pic of Renner doing a Superman Front Fender Grab back on his old Yamaha. At X Best Trick practice I think?

Earthquake is a no handed superman, during the 'let go' he grabs the front fender with one hand. Then both hands back to the bars, than back on the bike. Shaun Richardson aka 'Richo' did them and named them in about 2003 era. He started a clothing label named Earthquake industries about the same time, but it only really took off around his home town, Townsville QLD Australia.

Ooh thats awsome, so an Earthqauke is an One handed frontfender grab with your other arm off the bars floating in the air: Sick. That sounds gnarly and probaly ten times harder than the Superman Frontfender grab. I wanna see a pic, must look so cool.
Hey Evanzie thanks for helpin me get the trick names right.

No problem man. I searched high and low for footage or even a video. Even looked on his facebook page an he doesn't have a picture on there. I got it on an old DVD, I'll post the footage later on.

[Cordova 117]

Sweet! Yah I looked awile for any pics or videos before posting and I couldnt find anything. Not even the Superman FrontFender grabs, Im glad I posted the footage as it might be the only clip of a Superman Frontfender grab on the internet right now. I hope more people do these tricks then post some pics. There really fun. I cant wait to see the Earthquake footage, its gunna be so cool!

[Evanzie]

Hey man. Bit late. But here is the video of Richo doing his Earthquake. Back in about 2003 when LBZ baggies were still cool haha.
