ooo Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Im learning the 3/4 stroke (is that what its called) pedal pattern so I can pedal up, But I just wanted to clarify something. On the first half turn from your bad foot I gain quite a bit of speed so this means I have to kick my good foot super hard, right ? What Im trying to say is that the pedal strokes aren't even its normal then super hard while jumping ? I hope that makes sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the first half turn from your bad foot I gain quite a bit of speed so this means I have to kick my good foot super hard, right ? What Im trying to say is that the pedal strokes aren't even its normal then super hard while jumping ? Pretty much. I do it that way and the first half pedal stroke I'm just using the pedals to bring the front up while not gaining too much speed. The final 1/4 or even less is the bit that gives you all the explosive power to push the bike up and gain the height. Edit: Check out 3:39- this is the vid that taught me the technique which I still use to good effect 10 years on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah wicked mate, I was just using the first half to gain speed, but if I use it to bring the front up to my normal pedal kick height it makes a bit more sense.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah, I go in really slow and all the acceleration happens at the last minute. Seems to work pretty well! That vid covers the essentials though . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
