ben.richardson Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 whats your balance like when you get up on your back wheel? If its ok get up into the forward hop position and just take it steady dont try to rush it to see how many you can do like a lot of beginners do. Practice forward hopping in a line just taking your time and your balance will get a lot better or you could get a strong friend to hold your front wheel up in the air and just practice kicking and letting go of the brake and pulling it back in. Just to let you know you will probably get arm pump if you run maguras which is where your arm and finger will start to ache but not to worry it wont last long as you will get used to it, if the arm pump doesnt go away then bleed your magura with something a little thinner like baby oil or if you want to risk the seals in your maguras bleed it with water and a little antifreeze but the seals are usually ok in the 05 maguras. Just remember to take it steady don't rush hopping because you will start to kick faster and then you find you cant keep the bike on the back wheel.hope ive helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
