Rookie Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 So pretty much, lower the front wheel as your leaning forward and then just give it everything youve got right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 not just that, technique is the most important thing.lower the front wheel slightly then release the brakethen crank hard and sort of throw your bike forwards or upwards with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_x Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 what samdoman said is spot on i guess.thats really how i do it.lower your bars, obviously not so low to touch the floorthen as you kick lauch everything up but forward.using your bodyweight is key.thats how i do it anyway.

moto_psycho Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ive found this is one of the things where an obstacle makes it a lot easier. Firstly try up small curbs, or even the lowered bits on driveways, then try down the curb. Try some small 6" walls or anything, I am only up to around a foot myself, but it really helps!Keep it up man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Dale Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I rode 26 all my life and i no what ur thinking about it being harder but u have to stick with it. jus let your front end dop a little more than usual then give the normal kick but bring the bike through with your legs after the kick! it will follow u i promose!
