Tom Booth Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's just practice man, getting comfortable and finding your 'comfortable' position on the backwheel. Before you start setting up make sure your settled and steady too, I found that helped a lot. Just take your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know my comfortable position on the back wheel, and I always take my time getting settled and ready before doing moves, it helps a lot. Cheers though.

Jake. Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Post-editing fag! I don't feel the need for it to be up but here: Since regularly riding with a mate, he pointed out that me being deaf can affect balance quite a bit. I knew about this before but chose to ignore it, but once I focused on balance more in riding I began to noticed it. I spoke to him about it and he said just ride and it's a stage that will just pass, but it'll take longer for me to pass due to being deaf. Does anyone have any advice on how to be more controlled and stable on the bike, and less correction hops? I have the power to do things but I often find when I line up to do something I take ages preparing and it's really frustrating at times. I've been practicing turning both ways on the rear wheel on the spot and slowing down a lot more but it's not good enough. Any advice would be great.

ghostrider88 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Beeing deaf doesn´t neccessarily mean your ballance has to be affected, it´s different part of vestibulocochlear organ that is affected in most cases without any impact on ballance. Orientation in space, that´s a different story though. Edited April 15, 2013 by ghostrider88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
