alistair14 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Ive tried doing a few tail whips with the front brake, an then it gets round, the cables are wrapped round and look quite tight, should i not do it? or should i just be careful doing it, because i would like to learn them for a show off "on a wall" trick xDthankssAlix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Route the front brake down through the forks with a hollow topcap and run a longer than average rear cable/hose. I can get two full revolutions either way with the bars still with some slack to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe O'Connor Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hey I was trying them at one stage. Just remember, if you fall to the side when doing it jump off the front wheel or you will buckel it! Trust me, it happens!Haha, does this remind anyone else of the guy in NMC who said he can do tailwhips like Danny Mac does but wouldnt upload a vid, and got banned for swearing at everyone? Haha.

Gogz- Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) so ill just need some longer cables?not sure if i can route it through my top capyeah are we talking about a foot jam tailwhip or a normal tailwhip? I must admit I can only just about foot jam lolEither way THIS is what you need. the only reason it might not fit is if your steerer tube on your fork is really fick Edited November 22, 2009 by Gogz- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
