Ali C Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 SPEED WEIGHT FORWARD HOOK!!that putting it simplyStart on somthing sloped if you can, it makes it sooooo much easier! Start a few bikes lengths away, do a full rotation to get the speed and as you are getting closer, do another full rotation and lift off with your bad foot (like a tap) and jump the bike up, you want to get the front wheel comfortably on top of the objest with as much weight forwards as possible, the more weight forward the easier it is to get the rest of the bike up, also the faster you do it the mor forwards momentum you will have to carry you on to the top.

tryallmaster Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 If you are wanting to hook a vertical wall you need the wall to be higher than your bikes lenghth otherwise you wont be able to hook. I find it much easier to hook higher walls than small walls, unlike Damon who can hook anything going!!!Like Ali said try it on a sloped wall, like the one in Bradford, everyone knows about that beautiful wall!!!lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
