ld02w107@hotmail.co.uk Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) i had the same problem, all you do is put more force into when you pop the rear end up, and tuck the rear wheel in when you start to fall back. also, bounce with your arms as well as your legs!

Alun Goch Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Get really confident on the front wheel, go to far a few times and learn how to come off if you can. I can just put both feet down, only just missing my manly parts, but it makes you know that going to far isn't going to hurt!I use my legs alot more than my arms, it's much easier in my opinion, as your legs are stronger.Also, try running a little less pressure in the tyre, this helps it bounce better.Hope I've helped,AlunEDIT: Try and point your toes downwards a bit too, and cick backwards slightly too, I found that helped me Edited May 18, 2006 by Alun Goch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
