Siders77 Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 It's where you tap your front wheel on a wall before you back wheel it, gives you more bounce. So you can get higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221pr Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 front taps allow you to get a reasonable amount more height when stepping or going to backwheel. you want to hit your wheel quite close to the top of the obstacle other wise you will need to be wearing a helmet.

PaRtZ Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Not to be confused with a front hook:A front tap/front bump/front touch (theres loads of names for it) - its like a pedal bunnyhop but you do it a bit later and bang the front wheel into the wall to give you some boing. Its not ALWAYS the top of the wall, im sure Ali C does them pretty low. Go to trashzen for more info + vidsA front hook - basically ride at the wall and plant the front wheel over the top (so that from the forks down isn't at the top and being supported by the front wheel only) then do like an endo to bring the back wheel up and swap the wheels so that the back wheel is now on top. Hard to describe but again use trashzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
