hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I've been told when I gap and sidehop onto things at my limit, I don't preload enough. I'm just wondering when you gap as far as you can, how far or how much do you preload? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 dunno, but you preload by crouching i think and using your arms legs and rest of your boday and bike as a spring, more than likely using your hips aswell for sideways movements. dont worry about it, cuz you'll naturally learn it as you progress an can learn by watching better/more experienced riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghetto Rider Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hey,Yeah the preload should come naturally when you are comfortable with doing stuff... You should normally notice the preload alot when doing side hops or big gaps...It basically means you crouch down over the bike more, load more power into the pedals and push more with the arms... it'll come to you one day or you should try and learn it more??
