Deonn h Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) I tuck because it gets me higher , i see it as bending your legs up as high as possible to allow the backwheel up.Its not just a ""tuck"" for the sake of it , then againsome people do that because they probably think it looks "cool" or have lost the plot lol , if used properly its to get higher because of this "tuck" that it what puts you off balance ,so it isnt to balance you atall, and you counter this by leaning your bike inwads to the sidehop.e.g Edited August 31, 2008 by Deonn h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Dan you take the piss out of me for crashing my car, yet you can't construct a sentancetucking is to get you higher, not becuase your out of control of the bike... hence why top tgs riders do it and newb's dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Proper riders tuck because it allows them to get the rear wheel higher without having your body all the way up.Faggoty TGS riders who wear jeans too tight for my pencil tuck because they think it looks cool.If your going real high sucking the bike up under you helps get the rear wheel on the ledge, but if you just tuck because your trying to look cool... your not!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 hence why top tgs riders do it and newb's dontBut that's where the problem lies- top tgs riders tuck to allow them to get up that extra few inches to make a 55" sidehop but 'newb's' do tuck as well because they see pics of people doing it and think that's the standard technique for any size wall.

aener Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 How long is it going to take, to bury this "tuckage" business?I can't remember who started the tuckage thread - but I believe we should go 'round his house and mutilate him, for what he did...

JonMack Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Aaah the old dyslexia line. There have been a fair few discussions about it in Chit Chat and the conclusion that we've come to is pretty much:Stop being so f**king lazy.There are plenty of dyslexic people on this forum whos posts are perfectly legible, they just put a bit more effort in when writing.

Mark W Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I think the only good thing that came out of the tuckage thread was that people seemed to reach a general consensus that on-off sidehops = no dice Speaking of - I guess you could argue that tucks make you lose your balance easier, seeing as it always seemed to be the guys going for the full on "self-head" look that always did on-off sidehops?
