ghostrider88 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 It won´t work once you get closer to bar height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 8 inches always feels uncomfortable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 8inches away is IMPOSSIBLE at bigger sized hops.Unless he uses bars that are 16inch wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 i also find setting up slightly angled helps aswell, front wheel toeing in, allows you to get the perfect landing with the wheel turned on the wall! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I start like 1 foot and a half from the wall then power and turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 You have to be as quick as you can to lift yourself out of the preload too, thats the key to getting a good amount of lift. A good preload, added with an explosive upward jump and a fast tuck will send you higher. Brad, you will need to start setting up further away. 8" Is far too close. Your bars will be over the wall, which wont be ideal at all when you get to near bar height on the rear wheel. The sooner you do it, the more you will benefit and progress instead of hindering your progression. (At sides) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Still too close, but better than 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieWilliams Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 this has a lot sidehops in, might help Try preloading to side that you are going and putting your front wheel a bit closser to the wall then the back, and maybe try from two wheels to get the hang of letting the brakes off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
