Greetings Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've never figured out this move on stuff which exceeds 7 pallets. I find it really difficult to get the front wheel just the right height and not waaay over the ledge. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 you have to think about going over the bars with your center mass, Benitos technique is perfect imo theres 2 ways to land ups to front one is the benito way (going over the bars as much as possible and torso position is more horizontal) other way is like my friend does in the video (body more vertical and pushing hips into the bars) in theory first technique should be better because the center mass will be higher and more forward so you can get on much higher obstacles oh and you also need less speed, like you can see in the video that my friend used the 2nd technique and he didnt have enough speed to continue the movement and he just stopped I used to have exaclty the same technique but now im practising the benito way, I have a loooong way to go still but Im getting better day by day if you want to practice the benito way then you should start learning the 2nd phase first: just put your front wheel on 3-4 pallets, rear wheel on ground and go over the bars on front wheel and then switch to rear wheel after that just pedal kick on 5-6 pallets to front and try to go over the bars again this way you will get the feel how its done then go and practice the full pedal up to front, always look at the part where you want to put your front wheel and stay focused on it, otherwise you will just land too far with front wheel or just land on 2 wheels I hope it makes any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 All it is is a lot of practice and as soon as you know your front tyre has cleared the front of the wall you need to throw your weight forward and aim for the corner. You cant really think about it when you are doing it as it's such a quick movement, but if you start with smaller stuff, get the technique spot on the height and consistency will come in time. A lot of it is psychological, not committing and thinking 'what if i come up short with the front wheel and go over the bars' but once you get a feel for it the move kind of becomes muscle memory.
