ogre Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Find a steepish hill that you can just fakie (without an endo) get used to it that way, then start endoing and have a look on trashzen there prety good for tips etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Keep practicing riding up, endoing and then let go of the front brake. As you start you'll be quite scared so you wont endo enough and the wheel will roll forwards. The higher up you go, the bike will start to go out underneath you. GRAB YOUR FRONT BRAKE! You've got to keep doing this until you get more confident about braking lightly with the front brake to get a nice movement downwards Also, ask Danny Holroyd for more tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarrick Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 great thanks for the tips guys.time to practice and then practice alot more but it will be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 great thanks for the tips guys.time to practice and then practice alot more but it will be worth ityou'll be there a long time I reckon learning squeakers (where you roll yourself backward using your foot on the front wheel) is the best place to start - itll get you used to the idea of staying on the front and moving. i can't do it for shit though so im probably not a good person to hand out tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 The key is learning that when you're going backwards, pulling the front brake will bring the back down to earth. That might seem obvious, but for me it was really hard to co-ordinate because you'll be used to doing endos where if you're too far forward you can let go of the brake and come back down. Whereas when you're going backwards it's completely the other way round.Basically you have to go really far forwards, way past the balance point, and then let the brake off. If you're gonna fall forward, all you have to do is squeeze the brake. It's as simple as that try it on skate part ramps too, quarter pipes kik u up there well nicely !!Definitely, anything with a fairly steep transition is a piece of piece to learn on, although it's not the same as just doing a steep slope or something.If you're doing it on a slope that's not amazingly steep something, try and do one sqeaker "scuff" to get you rolling, and just feather the brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarrick Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 just giving kinda an update and tips on what i am learning fopr anyone who saw this post adn started trying this too.i am practicing doing the trick on just flat ground by grabbing the front brake and doing a footjam. once i get the front end high enough i give the tire a good kick back to get momentum and get the bike even higher in the air. one thing i found out that helped alot thou is when you are first getting the rear of the bike in the air, keep the foot that is still on the pedal flat to the ground. when i first started doing it my left foot (the one on the pedal) would not be flat to the ground, so when i started going backwards my foot would change postion and kill my balance.
