Ali C Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 not much, looks like you just need to spot the pedals a bit sooner and commit your feet to them. Practice makes perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis G Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 much like what Ali said, concentrate on locating your pedals a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24martin Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 it look's like all you need to do is commit to it approxiamtely 0.5% more and you will have nailed them, the only thing i noticed that may help you a little bit is to throw your weight a teeny bit further forwards immediately after you jam your foot in the tyre, like lean over the stem a little further perhaps, i find it helps me anyway. make sure you post a vid of you nailing them when you've got them (which will be in about 24 hours i reckon seeing as your that close already ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 alright cheers fellas, i've nailed about 15, but attempted about 500, haha. ill try leaning forward a bit more tomorrow. also even i've noticed that I don't look at the pedals 100% of the time. ill get another vid tomorrow maybe. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 congrats! There is still one thing though, looks like you need to coordinate the jump off the pedals and the foot on the tyre a little better as at the moment your front foot is coming off sooner which is making your back foot spin the cranks around which is why you are landing switch. Try and get both feet off together or at least don't keep as much weight on your back foot. trying it brakeless would be the best practice as you pretty much have to jump into it at the same time as kicking the frame around otherwise it doesn't work.

Carlperkins Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) i didnt even realise i was landing switch! i was wondering why the pedals were spinning sometimes when I go for the whip. and i was trying it brakeless but i'm running the wide echo urban forks and my foot keeps getting stuck between the forks. ill have another pop at it tomorrow and see if I can get better. cheers for all your advice ali.
