williams Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yoo! So since I got my arm injury I've started to enjoy more front wheel manouvers. So the thing I wan't to get the hang of is the G-turn. This is my first attempts ever so don't hate haha. Any tips would be more than welcome!

BTW: Does anyone know why my front brake sounds like chewbacca from star wars? It's a disc brake and it's only certain times it does it.

Ross McArthur Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thats more of a 180 fakie nose manual. Try carving a rolling endo (stoppie) into a 180...then do what your doing. Then you've got a G-turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shercofray Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hmm.. That's weird haha.. Have you got a hope? What pads are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Have you got a hope? What pads are you running? No it's a onza disc brake (mechanical) pretty much a bb7 copy what I've heard.. Think it's the standard pads actually:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disc brake and it's only certain times it does it. Because everything is bedded in perfectly and working well. Video looks fine - just keep practicing!

Greetings Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I wish I could get as far as you have in those vids. About the brake noise, I'm guessing it only happens when you're braking while going backwards (which essentially you are doing a g-turn)?

Yeah the power is awesome, wish it didn't have sooo much bite sometimes Alright cheers! I wish I could get as far as you have in those vids. About the brake noise, I'm guessing it only happens when you're braking while going backwards (which essentially you are doing a g-turn)? How long have you've been practising them? This where my first attempts really haha:) Yeah maybe, but if it does it sometimes when Im just rolling and squeze the brake a little..
