Guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 try your best to keep balanced whilst going round. The longer you keep balanced the further you can go round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Move your hips more toward the stem, and turn the bars the way you want to spin. then twist your body and your legs should guide the bike around nicely. Best chance is more practice.Took me 177 runs at a stack of pallets to learn how to hook...And he's still crap at hooks.He's pretty much right in his description... only you need to turn the bars slightly away from the direction you want to spin in, then turn the bars the way your going to spin and really lean in with your spin side shoulder, try and flick your head towards this shoulder too... all while keeping your weight fairly far over the front end of the bike. Twist your hips to get in line with your head and you'll have pulled off your 180 pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Took me 177 runs at a stack of pallets to learn how to hook...tha's fookin brilliant! was that consecutively? or counted up over a long ol' time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hold a trackstand for a while, with the front wheel turned slightly.Then shift your weight towards the front, whilst twisting the bike round with your hips. Keep your head facing the way you're turning.Try not to go too far over the front, because you could only get half way, then stop, or go over the bars.Just keep your weight over the front, and don't spin too fast.

Tommy d Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I find it helps to get really far over the front. Like as if you're actually gonna fall over the front, but because you're turning, by the time you get there you're falling back down again (if that makes sense).To spin less than 180 you have to first overbalance to the side you want to spin, which I guess you can already do. If you want 180 exactly you have to start the endo when you're perfectly balanced (as in side to side) but with the same motion that you would use if you were going less than 180. If you want to spin more than 180, you have to be overbalanced to the wrong side before you spin. That feels kinda scary cos for a moment you are actually going over the front but the fact that you're spinning sorts that out.Hope that made some sense...
