clerictgm Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Can someone explain how to do this and then 90/jump on to rear wheel. And how much psi needed to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 PSI doesn;t really have anything to do with it. Same tech as an up to rear from the position: Crouch down Release brakes if they're on Lift up with arms and legs Twist 90 Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 i find that releasing the back brake before the front helps to get up onto the rear wheel. You get an extra bounce out the front tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's all about getting the right pop off the object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'd say that you should release both brakes before taking off. Use them to get in to position, but once you put the power down having the bike being prevented from morphing slightly around the obstacle is seriously limiting the return pressure. Having no brakes locked when preloading lets the bike move downwards with the pressure, giving more rebound. Certainly, I'm better at them since I went brakeless.

SamKidney Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I tend to do them with only the front brake, if not fully brakeless, even with me running brakes. Find it miles easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Certainly, I'm better at them since I went brakeless. Word! As with a lot of tech stuff like that (especially on natural), it's easier to balance and hold them without brakes than with. You get better grip because - as Flipp said - your bike can just shift around and hold itself in place, and it allows everything to move into the most natural position. When you preload and spring up, the tyres/wheels being able to rotate helps as the bike can spring better with the wheels moving rather than locked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Just use the front brake to control your self As the forks flex giving time to react to loss of balance. Pre load the body by lowering you arse to the tyre you can use the rear brake just for a second to help hold the position and as you explode you release both brakes You should get a fair bit of spring from the flex of forks Edited September 22, 2012 by dave33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Gosden Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Always a good idea to make sure your bike has the right wheelbase to the object before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
