Parr22czar Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Just relax when you ride and let your joints move, and yes it will make you better and deffo smother.A nd as for the bigger part that depends how far your willing to push yourself.

adam trials Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 you need loads of confidence on the back wheel, when you get there just try bending your legs a bit so that you are used to movement on the bike i.e getting closer to the frame as you get up stuff and land. also you could when you bail a drop try and keep hold of the bike instead of letting it fall it may no help you loosen up but it will save you money in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Y Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 cheers so basically i need to feel the bike and relax:D is it more a matter of experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 From what i can see, you're not absorbing the impact enough, i think you're thinking that your muscles are too stiff, technically they are, but you just need to absorb it better, be a bit more 'rag doll' and let your body absorb the impact instead of your joints and the bike. Don't take my word for it but landing like that in my eyes is asking for frame snappage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
