Topsy Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) I actually was trying to learn hooks, but i've been trying so long i nearly can pedal up it now. Would still like to be able to hooks though! started to try a bit diferently after ~2:40 Or should I best try somewhere where it's a bit higher? Already tried on pallets. Hope someone can help One can't change the topic title/description, can one? Edited May 16, 2011 by Hopping_Topsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 looks to me like you land the back wheel first then front, then just fall back. at 3:06 i think it is, you land both wheels at the same time, as soon as you touch down, throw yourself forward and full on front brake, when rear is up, brake off and push bike forward. hope this helps.

Miles Mallinson Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeh as said it looks like you are leaning back too much just try and land both wheels at the same time the front on top and the rear on the wall whilst leaning forward.

Mark W Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hooks = better without using your brakes on the way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must somehow have had it wrong in my head, because it actually makes sense.. Will try tomorrow as soon as possible Can, use the full editor. Thanks! Hooks = better without using your brakes on the way up. Guess that will take a while by me.^^ Can't even manage to make myself use only one finger on the front brake. (Strangely enough I've got no problems with using only one on the rear brake..) That means I'd probably have huge difficulties not pulling the lever on the way up..

AlexxRogers Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I say, try and take off a little later, preload more, took in more and you'll be going straight to rear on that... Some attempts you were really, really close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Try something a little higher, seems strange but will make like a bit easier. Throw a pallet or two on top of that sloped wall and give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 To add to the other replies, make sure your front wheel just makes the top of the wall. If you think about it, if you go too high and come down onto the wall all of your forward momentum is lost. You want to almost pedal gap into the wall, front wheel just landing on top, then immediately throw your weight forward before extending the bike out in front of you.
