gr8grumble Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) hey mate..... you can just lower the front and kick like a bitch... the more you do it the further you will get.(lots of practise) orthe alternative is..... get on back wheel hop right to the of what your taking offf of and get your back wheel right on the edge... compress your weight down to compress the tire... kick like a beast and where you have compressed it will act as a spring! tuck aswell its hard to learn but a nice technique when you got it!.....or just lots of practise! hope this helps..graham...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 don't just kick like a bitch, almost just gap up and tuck, obviously still forwards, but think about going up more, the more height you get the further you go, just think of long jump in the olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinold Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Lower your front wheel and give a strong kick. If you don't feel that helps get closer to the edge of the object before you kick and if that still doesn't help keep practicing because practise makes perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHayes Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 What i used to do to get me further was as your lowering your front end to get some power,do a hop at the same time then just proper kick it should help you.other thing is,lift up your bike as you gap just watch vids of CLS or tunni to get what im on about lolHope this helps Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
