frenchies.....i want to be able to frenchie

Your Kidding? I watched that bloody spools vid of yours the other day and it was all frechies!

They looked big too!

er... I can't pedal hop up to back wheel anything higher than headtube height at a push. Can't tap, can barely sidehop and gap, infact pretty much any static move I suck at.

Shut up Mike!!! I dont agree with any of that! ok... maybe the tap!

I was like that, I learnt to go the other way and can now sidehop both ways whoopee :D Try to learn it really wasnt that hard.

Still cant get much more than 38" either way on a sidehop though :(

And me. Now I can prety much do the same to both sides. But can only sidehop to back to the left! Weird!

Ddone 10 hopes max on the front wheel! Just getting into manual now...

Can't sidehop towards my bad foot, at all. Can't bunnyhop that well either...but I blame that on my 1045mm mod!

Need to practice my balancing too, on small rails etc...

I could bunnyhop my Zip alright and that was 1045mm - maybe raise your barheight a bit?

I wouldn't worry about 'sidehopping the correct way' - I hated sidehopping to my bad side, so I just learnt to do it better to my front side. Once I'd got the technique sorted going that way (e.g. get it dialled to two wheels, to front, to rear, etc.) then I just transfered it over to my bad side. Seemed to work out a lot better for me than just trying to learn it to my bad side.

tap, gap, sidehop, up to front wheel, anything on the front whee, two wheel balance, anything involving a wedge, anything involving a handrail, do things first try, actually learn things...

Ive been riding for 3 years and a 35" tap is still a huge achievement. I learn things really slowly and get frustrated easily so its kind of an annoying cycle.

I'm a giant pussy - most things i do i manage to make somehow, but don't have the balls to try bigger stuff which means progression is slow.

I can also up to rear nearly the same height as i can sidehop, can't sidehop for shit.

I'm exactly the same, just cant make my self go bigger.

Doesn't help that my zona feels like its filled with lead! (N)

Sean.
