Lewis Gething Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Trials Forum tip of the day Do not make a new thread every time you want advice on learning a new technique This should have been posted in your older thread here: As far as learning the frenchie (which isn't exactly easy to grasp) I would say to ensure that you have gap to fronts on lock as the motion involved is very similar. After that, start off doing frenchies on low objects such as 4 pallets, and work your way up as you improve Hope this helped, sorry to be a troll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I believe a frenchie is done without the use of the front brake. I could be wrong though, can't do them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 The technique I was referring to was the up to front then if that is the case not sure though now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think what you mean is a wheel swap. This shoud help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Are you meaning this ? A tap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTrials_Rider Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 A tap ? it isnt the tap im trying to learn, similar to it but when you acc hold the front brake in and bring the body into the handlebars more and then spring the bike to the front and land on the back wheel and keep it up http://www.trashzen.com/animations/anforward5n.php this is what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I wouldnt worry too much about the brake. As when you get this right you should be able to do it without. Try not to learn it relying too much on the brake, but rather learn it with a good technique Try finding a wall about bar hight with enough room on top for your bike, and a bit of a run up. Start with enough distance for a run up starting wrong foot forward. Pedal in with a small gap jump and land just infront of the wall with your weight back. Then keeping your momentum throw your weight forward and land the front wheel on the top corner edge so your tyre can bite in. Keep your head forward and your arse back (youll find yourself moving your groin towards the stem, which will move your weight backwards) This should bring the back wheel up, and when it feels right let go of the front brake and pull the back wheel through to the wall. It will take a few goes to get a feeling of when to switch, just keep trying. Too ealry and your back wheel will hit the front of the wall, too late and you wont have the momentum to swing through. Have a few goes at getting the front wheel on the wall in the right place, and youll need to keep a good momentum as you ride into it. Just keep trying.
