Maxie_Monty Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Title pretty much spells it out .. i basically need the proper technique for dropping from height thanks mX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 lower your front end a lot and pedal off, and aim to land on the back wheel, but with your weight over the front of the bike, you don't want to loop out and break your skull.

Maxie_Monty Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 i have been trying to lower the front end but in the 49 out of 50 times i get it wrong .. the front just goes straight down to the ground and thus me falling off thanks for the advice mX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 not that far then lower it and when it feels like its starting to want you to go forwards and off, pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 As you're hopping on the back wheel at the top of the drop,get as close as you can to the edge,dip the front end a tiny bit (to stop you going over the back)and do half a pedal stroke to push yourself over the edge!!

Peperami Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Get your bum over the rear tyre as you go off, and push the rear wheel over the edge and down if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sixstreet Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 This is a clip from Bristol last weekend. Not sure if this is the type of height you mean. If you freeze it just before he drops off you can see the front wheel drops a lot, it may even be below the rear wheel.

Phil H Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 lower your front end a lot and pedal off, and aim to land on the back wheel, but with your weight over the front of the bike, you don't want to loop out and break your skull. Don't just aim to land on the backwheel make bloody sure you do Or you may infact die. - So basically get right on the edge.- Lower front wheel- Stick out arse just above the rear wheel, as low as you can go- Gently kick off- Extend legs out on the way down- Land on your backwheel and suck up the force by bending your legs.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
