JT! Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 One finger, pointing finger.Should be any other way under any circumstances really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 One finger, pointing finger.Shouldn't be any other way under any circumstances really.1 finger for me too, gives you more control of the bike and teaches you to set brakes up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Both brakes i use 1 finger, the index finger.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Everyone uses 1 finger, their index finger, or they should anyway. It gives you more to hold onto the bars with when your doing that scary drop gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Man Leo Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) i learnt to do 1 finger freeride so, its quite easy to do index finger on trialsgives you more durability with the front end of your bike, Edited February 4, 2007 by Mod Man Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moto_psycho Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 well ive had a ride today using only 1, must say, hate the feeling of braking on 1, but the grip and control is far better, think i just need some better pads and real weather again!

fyfey Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm using 2 fingers at the moment (With my shitty MTB with dodgy Vees)As soon as I build up my Control I'm definately switching to 1 finger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
