Herbertlemon102 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 It has a name, can't remember it. I was out in my local park today, riding this machined rock that was perfect cube-shaped. When on top of it, it's slightly shorter than the wheel base, so the edges of the rock are pinching the tyres about 3 inches inwards from both ends of the wheel base (the center of both wheels). When trying to go from that position straight to rear wheel, the bike fell backwards from underneath me as I kicked the pedals, resulting in some shiny new scratches to forks, cranks, legs and soul. What is the move that gets from that pinched position straight to rear wheel called, and how do you do it?This photo of me describes the position of the wheels better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I thought it's just a wedge, as in 'sidehop to wedge' or 'potato wedge' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Maybe this move only that your wheels are on one obstacle. It could be made with sth. like a static hop. You don't pedal just jump up-/forwards with the bike to land on the front wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure Maybe this move only that your wheels are on one obstacle. It could be made with sth. like a static hop. You don't pedal just jump up-/forwards with the bike to land on the front wheel. definitely not that because the tyres in that one are pinched on the outside of the wheelbase, it's a different idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm with kidney ; a wedge is when both wheels are compressed between two objects eg a small gap. A wodge is what has been described above ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 We call it a wodge (sort of the opposite if a wedge). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
