chris4stars Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 im not sure what sorts of heights you are jumping from/onto...and what sorts of things you are trying to land front wheel first... but at a guess, id start with resting your front wheel on a small ledge (somthing you could easily ride up without knocking the bashring). then just work on pivoting on the front wheel and bringing the rear wheel up onto the ledge when you are comfortable with this, find a ledge that is about level with your front wheel whilst you are hopping on the rear. with a small pedal hop (it may not even be needed but its to learn how the move should feel), try and repeat the move above. it would be pretty hard to cause any injury or harm to yourself or the bike, so you can really move your body about to find out what works for you.

Matt Vandart Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) Basically, after pedal kicking towards the wall your going upto front on, extending the arms, leaning right over the bars while your looking down at the wall landing on. Once you have landed on the wall you still need to be in the same position leaning right over the bars, then use your body weight to bounce and swop to the rear wheel, you will also need to push with the legs and pull with the arms, this is like an upto front wheel swop as i can best describe it! willis x When I do an up to front, I prefer to do it from pedaling straight to front rather than hopping off the rear wheel. Basicly, as your front wheel comes up, just before you put the main hop in, start moving your body weight forwards, you want to have your chest over the stem with your arms bent (like your trying to kiss the front wheel. Land with your wheel just above the edge and let the rear wheel come up....just before the wheel is at its highest, let go of the front brake and push the bars forwards, your wheel should land where the front was. you want to have your weight back while running up to the wall finally transfering your weight forward in the final stroke This is how I learned them these guys know what they are on about.

onza_rip95 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I think what you are talking about is a front to back. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I think what you are talking about is a front to back. Is it? Depends what you want to do after the front wheels up there. You could go to and endo turn or do a wheelswap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
