TrialsIsHard Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hey guys, i thought i'd post this in NMC because its such a little question. But anyways, I have bought an onza zoot to learn some more streety moves aside from all the TGS and i'm finding it impossible to manual.. I know that it can take years to master a really good manual but I'm having trouble initially pulling the front to a decent height. I have got a Trial tech sport forged stem and try-all rage bars. Would it make it easier to lift the front with a longer stem/higher bars? Or what can I do to make it easier to lift. I'm not a huge rider being only about 5"7 but i don't think its me any help would be great Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 if you havn't already tilt the bars back so they have a comfortable backsweep. I wouldn't bother changing any parts, there is no magic cure, just practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz96 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 When you lift your front wheel really try to push your back wheel forward and underneath you. As Ali said theres no need to change any parts, just keep practicing the right techniques and it'll come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangsta. Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 i am in the same stage as you but i find that its easier the farther back my bum is over the rear axle also i find that lower is better than higher but i am just a beginner a good teacher is Ryan Leech (i'll post a video when my YouTube works) (if you liked the video, buy the DVD its all really useful) bike wise i found manual on a Bmx easier so i think shorter the better but i am just guessing hope you learn Sangsta.

Thanks man, i've watched loads of videos I rode a mates BMX a few days ago, no effort atall to hold the front off the ground.. I find it hard to keep my weight back, but thats just technique and practice i suppose good luck to you too mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you are finding it hard to keep your weight back on a bmx then you are doing something wrong. You should be have more of a problem of looping out or just keeping balance. I find people that struggle to get the front of the bike up or keep their weight back are people that try and lift the front rather than pushing the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
