davey1991 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 My suggestion and this is only a suggestion would be to avoid them. They don't do your forks any good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (upwards), Doesn't that mean you should be up anyway, i usually fly backwards when i fail Check this anyway, might explain what you're doing wrong http://www.trashzen.com/wheel-hook-front.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I was about to ask the same question! Ive recently been learning them on about 7 pallets but with one pallet slanted from them like a ramp, but at about a 80 degrees angle. That website helped out alot, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 My suggestion and this is only a suggestion would be to avoid them. They don't do your forks any good at all. If you know how to hook properly they're fine... What you're saying is dont do taps, or gaps to front as they're not good for your forks either?
