Jolfa Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Take your 'Peter pointer' finger on your hand of preference and pose it like an elephants trunkNext, you'll need a hard surface - a table is idealRest you hand on the hard surface and strike it with Peter pointer repeatedly and in any rhythm you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 its like backwheeling but you pull the handle bars up slightly later and smack the front wheel ontop of the wall.try watching ryan leech's art of trials dvd steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah i used to have a really hard time with tapping because i really didnt understand the point.Though you cant really "tap" anything under about 3 feet its possible to understand the principal of it on a curb. Do like you would do to pedal up a curb but wait until like the last possible nano second. You will feel the front wheel hit the curb and give you an upward boost.Now apply this to a wall a little under handlebar height. Do like you would do for a regular pedal up just lift the bars a little later and jump more up and less forward. With the tap, because you are much closer to the wall when you jump you must suck the bike up much more, even for smaller taps i find i tuck almost all the way.This is how i do it and it works well for me.I hope i havent made any grevious errors.
