Name Of A Trick?


Captain Scarlet

Recommended Posts

Well I was just out riding this evening, and remembered something that a mate showed me a while back before I had learnt any trials.

Basically whilst rolling at a walking pace, I do a 180 endo, as soon as my back wheel contacts the floor I then immediately throw into a regular 180, then landing to continue rolling.

I know this kind of trick has been done before, but I just wanted to know if it had an actual name, rather than explaining what the trick is to people.

Thanks,

But its not exactly a rockwalk, because when the back wheel touches down after the endo, I lead it into a 180 so both wheels come off the floor. Not a pivot.

Ah well lol.

I can't believe how pedantic that is, from what I read, you think it's not a 'rockwalk' if both wheels are off the ground at any time during the move?

It is still called a rockwalk IMO, when hans rey does it in trick's and stunts his back wheel lift's off the ground on the second half of the rotation, it's just a case of how low your pressure's are on the tyres and how grippy the ground is. I can do it in one fluid motion without a hop in the wet on smooth ground, in the dry on concrete I tend to need a hop to get the bike right round.

Yeah, that's the equivilent of mine...

If i try to get the bike more upright to spin easier i normally just fall off.

Practice will sort that out though.

it's not that hard, just twist your body alot on the lil jump after the 180 endo

i learned it in just 1 day, can only do it with the hop though

oh mate get it dialled without the hop and it feels nut's. I can see why phil feeney likes all his spinny shit cos it feels pretty cool spinning around on the balance point, all you have to do is give the turn some beans and stop yourself making the hop, you will get round eventually.

it only really counts as a half-cab if you're rolling when you do the hop. static=cheating

I was just about to say that.

But when some people do rockwalks they put a hop in 'cause they can't get round all the way on the back wheel. So even if you were to hop 180 you are ideally cheating the rockwalk and doing it the easier way.

Now go try 5 in a row without letting go of either of your brakes.

hans ray hops in rock walks thus rock walks have a hop in them...
