dann2707 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I find stacking some pallets up, around 5 or 6 of them. Then put one at an angle towards the pile, then ride towards it and hop into it. Change the angle gradually so it gets steeper and steeper. Helps to really hop into them, then use that momentum to go lean forward and swap to back wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Oh look more hilarious hooking jokes. Asabove, go as fast as you can. lean over the front. Try not to twat your balls on your stem/bars. Prepare to spend ages learning them because hooking vert walls are about the hardest technique there is. If you get stuck, post a vid of attempts and someone will try to advise from there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Don't go too deep into the wall with the front wheel. Keep your body weight on the bars and the front wheel and maintain momentum - that's the most important bit. You can't be too stiff else you'll loose all the momentum the moment you hit the wall. Also another thing to bare in mind is the trajectory with which you hit the wall, you need to go fast and slam the bike into the wall fairly flat with the body as high as possible in relation to the bike. Hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
