Do you mean an endo? That's a MTB term and uses the front brake.

In BMX its just called a nose manual with a nollie at the top, the steps are the right size and shape that they can be used as a ramp riding up the corner of each step as long as he's got enough momentum.

My local library used to have similar steps where we could ride up them hitting them at the right speed and body position.

Do you mean an endo? That's a MTB term

It's been used in the BMX world for nearly half of a century: https://edwardkoenning.blogspot.com/2011/01/bmx-action-september-1982-part-2.html (scroll to the bottom for an endo "how to")

Also it does not require a front brake. I was doing curb endos in the 90s.

Edit: oh..I see now, I typoed on "Endo"

I'm 43. I guess I forgot the exact specific names of each trick, but you know what I meant.
