Vid - Take A Look


GTF

Recommended Posts

He rolled a 1/2 foot drop gap :S

How long has he been riding out of curiosity? Near 4-6 months?

Take some tar out with you and stick a little bit on your rim to imporve the brake, last thing you wanna do is loop out on a wall because your balance looks a bit off. Try keeping the front end a bit higher, this will reduce how you seem to fall down when your landing things, maybe try a different stem to change your body position.

With the wheel switch/pigeon lean forwards more and get your head right next to the front tyre, if you see some of the coust vids their heads sometimes go lower than the front tyre and they can do this move flawlessly ;)

Try preloading more for gaps as well, really squat down just before jumping and use this extra distance from the bars to pull on them harder forcing you forwards faster and further... improving your gapping distance.

The rest will come with practise.

The actual video was alright, no fancy editing and it goes well with the non fancy riding (not meant in a harsh way). Simple and Cheerful.

EDIT: Sorry after reading that back it seems like i've aimed the advice at you, its not meant to be directed at you get your mate to read it and it'll sound alright to him ;)
