Waynio Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 get RIGHT into the bars i have noticed, i dont use my brake UNTIL the forks have flexed down and im on my way up and the bikes like endoing on the top of the wall. BUT i am crap at them, cant do them constant enough. but when i get it i sort of know how iv done it. i find it hard cos i cant do it everytime like BUT i approach the wall really really fast, the faster i go at it the better i get at it. cant go slow or i just cant do it.Waynio....................

jamesb Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I pedal into them...and only use the front brake. I have my front brake on the whole time except when I want to switch to the rear ontop. With the front brake on, you will not need to go as fast.

mike Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 kool. i feel more in control when i pedasl into them but i will try both and see what happens.thanksDavethe only probablem i find when pedaling into things, is that a lot of the time i don't have my chocolate foot forwards and have to spin my fee round, which puts me off balence.but speed is the key, i've done it a few time but i don't really try because i'm absolutley pants at it.Mike!!!

Trials Dave Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 thats great, i think i'll get a car to tow me as fast as possible, let go of the rope and just bunnyhop into a monster hook!! hahano, im joking, thanksDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 im trying to learn these too,i have done them on slightly angeled walls quiet well but as soon as it goes vertical its mad hard!speed and technique are key i think lots of speed and shifting body weight at the right time.
