Greetings Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I went out today after watching this OTN "how to" pisstake video to try and do the Vincent move and found it impossible mainly because I just don't have the power to pedalkick ahead and upwards so high. So I thought it would be a good idea to add a tap to the pedalkick which actually made pedalkicking ahead&upwards piss easy. It's similar to switchfoot tapping from rear wheel but so much easier because you don't have to backhop swich-footed and it requires almost no run-up. Haven't seen anybody do this yet so here's a vid. Would be interesting to see how high it's possible to do this so yeah, if you're a powerful rider give it a go. This one's only about 90cm. There's also a quater crank rotation touchhop in the 3rd clip but I've seen Rowlands do that a few years ago on a Giant so I guess it's nothing new.

Ben John-Hynes Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 That looks sexy, Although, I tried that recently and i found it really hard! Always tapped the wrong place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 thats fit haha and youve got them dialled it looks too. how high can you do it Inur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 its like the move where you put your front wheel on pallets hold it there and then jump to rear on the spot where your front wheel was - wheelswap? just you did it with speed, ive tried those and they are a bit easier than without speed version, so probably possible to get a bit higher too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabiot Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Nice shirt, Fabio EDIT: I thought I'd add something to the thread too... Your technique is damn near flawless dude, perfect distance on the kick, wheel gets up just high enough, no noise when moving the rear wheel up (except for brakes). Smooth, Effortless (in appearance)... beautiful dude. Edited June 25, 2008 by Sabiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 id just call that manual to up. ofcourse refined and trialsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ignore the fact you're on the back wheel, and that's exactly how you'd back wheel something with zero run up. I call them granny taps, as you're just clipping the very top of the object, rather than proper bumping. You're on the back wheel though and it looks like you're pretty much manualing into it. Still a good move to practice, the more ways you can find up an object the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 i been doin them years lol.. thought thats just a rolling switch with no run up? i do like a quarter stroke from both wheel on ground.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) I started doing something similar about 4 years back but I started instead with front wheel starting on the floor and gave the pedals a jab to front touch up. Managed it to about bar hight I think. Yours looks good though Just noticed you mentioned me, my bad Edited June 25, 2008 by rowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Green Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 We in Russia (myself and my friend Cucomber) have given this a name "Evrodirok", which can be translated as Euro-Pully or smth. This name comes exactly from GET videos, where we have observed this move frequently. Now this name is officially stated in russian Wikipedia on "biketrials moves"))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
