Chicky Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Who here finds that they simply suck at pedal kicks when they're tired? I managed to get 6 this morning on my new stock but after a while all i could do was 2. Was wondering if anyone else finds this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 dont count them , just do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Like everying pratice makes perfect. You'll get to a stage where you don't even think about doing them they just happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangler Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Try not to count them try to aim for other things, like making a pedal kick between two lines on the ground. It will help you forget about the hopping and make you think about the gap, the hopping will come naturally after that. Give it a try (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 when practicing just do it over an over an over, just mix it up, try a few gaps small drops, e.t.c. then when you get tired just set yourself the same aim's and you will build the muscles needed and the mental attitude as well :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosts_cloak Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 I was practising these as well yesterday and today (only started learning them on thursday). On thursday I could manage about 2, yesterday I did well and lost count (travelled forward about 20 feet doing little pedal kick hops) and today could only manage 7 or so! It can be a bit disheartening when you cant repeat something you know you can do! I found it helps my balance trying to do them up and down the curb (I can manage getting up a curb and keeping on hopping but not easily down (front wheel drops too much)) Good luck practising, ~Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 If the front wheel drops, pull up an kick harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
