Dave Anscombe Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 hit the object harder with your rear wheel this gives you the upwards momentum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Pull the front wheel up sooner. I would have thought the opposite because when I wheel swap I found it easier to stay on the rear when it was sharper than what you did in the video. I would have pulled up to go on the front for longer so I was in more of an endo position and take it from there, rather than switch when the wheels are almost the same height, if that makes sense.

I know that you mean,but it´s quite hard to pull rear wheel higher than he did.But anyway here´s perfect example of what I ment 2:30 even though this might be too much for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thats one hell of a video! never seen it before ! the move at 2.30 is what i call a hook slap! not the normal hook ! does anyone else agree with that ? In fairnes your teq looks fine just more practise! hit them harder and faster Works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to pedal the front wheel up rather than just wrench the bars up at the last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
