Brakeless G-Turn

[clerictgm]

Is it possible? And if so, any tips how to learn it without brakes?

[Laurence--Trials]

Yes, sean watson does them. as if tips try not to fall on your face and learn normal g-turns first.

Probably best to learn a brakeless Switzerland squeaker first and master the rolling backwards on the frontwheel. Another way is using a wall to prop your bike handlbar against it for support and try and master the balance point by doing a footjam to get the front end up and master the balance point. Either way its an insanely hard trick to learn with brakes let alone without.

Might be a stupid question but what is a g turn

I've never heard of it

Thanks for that I dont think that was about when I was riding last time round lol

That is really impressive it will be a while until I can do that

This sounds reeeeeally big headed.. But they are actually not as hard as people think. I can do them (sort of) and ive only been riding like 1.5 years. They are a lot easier on a inspired. I cantkeep them goin but with practice i think i could after a few months. Watch brakeless g turn bmx vids.

Basically if you can do a 180 endo.. One of the first moves people learn...

Then try to do it without touching your brakes. Easier than it sounds. Its like popping a 180 with your front tyre on the floor.

Then basically just practice that.

After a while youll find out you can lean over the front and keep the rear up a bit longer.

Word of warning you WILL go over the bars loads. I must have done about 50 times in 2 weeks and i have a massive scar on my leg from it.

The only thing is that theres no nose manual into the g turn. It happens really fast. I have no idea how to brakelss nose manual into a g turn. But i imagine it would be very hard.

I don't have brakes and I can do a 180 endo rear and front.

It is still possible without brakes but clearly alot more difficult, ive fell off more times doing them then i have made them but still at least ive done some. I just done everything the same exept not pulling on the brakes leaver to do mine.

Hope ive helped ,Ben.

I don't have brakes and I can do a 180 endo rear and front.

Then move along and do one.. And try stay on your front wheel a little longer. The turn from the 180 will give you your momentum to carry on the g turn ( yeah technical shit there... )
