williams Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Haha.. The g-turn is really hard to learn! I don't even want to know how long time it took for me to learn it.. You just have to practise and practise and practise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterztrials123 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Try doing it quicker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 so higher and faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterztrials123 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yes and turn your head in the direction you want to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 The key I find is to go steeper, once you go past a certain point the backwards momentum will keep the back wheel up a bit like a manual (just completely the other way) I found the easiest way to get used to keeping the back wheel higher is to do it over a small jump box or out of a flat bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 so i go up a flat banc, put the brake and try to go down backward on my front wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 so i go up a flat banc, put the brake and try to go down backward on my front wheel? That could also work, I meant go out of the flat bank and g-turn across the top deck if that makes sense. Imagine a jump box kind of set up but with flatbanks for take off and landing... Basically, when you're going up something steepish and you do the 180 to end up on the front wheel, your back end will naturally end up quite high up because of the axis I'm doing an awful job of explaining this haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 no, actually its pretty clear, I go up a flat banc and turn at the top to end back ward on the front wheel on the flat up of it.... do I use my brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 i'd say that you'd only really use your brake to stop you going over the bars if the back wheel gets too high? (only a guess though as i can't actually do them lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 This might help! Oh and on my trials bike I use the front brake to get into it then like err said, use it to save my ass when it gets too steep. BMX I just use my body weight so I guess you could do it either way. I'd say easier to use your front brake though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Basically you're aiming to do a 180 pivot but essentially you need to go much steeper than you think so that you almost feel vertical to the ground (you won't actually be vertical but it feels that way). You also need to let go of the brake as you near 90 degrees of your pivot rather than later. When I've shown people how to g-turn before it's the steepness and letting go of the brake early enough stops them and when they make those changes they quickly get it. Often it's fear of falling on your face that inhibits the steepness but nobody every really falls on their face unless they try it brakeless :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolasp1405 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Ok i'll try that! I guess that when yu get more used to it you can do it lower as in videos they dont seem to go hight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
