minicrack Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) There is only one thing for it if you want to get better; you have have to go out alot and ride.The same principles apply with anything you want to get good at it just takes alot of practice as you start to improve the rest such as your balance and technique should follow. If you are finding it hard to learn certian techniques and find the internet is of no use you could always try riding with other people which will give you the insperation to improve and they may be able to give you better tips on how to do stuff. Also you shoudl start leanring with what ever feels most comfortable for you we all have our own ways of doing things.

_Owen. Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 let your tire pressure down to about 15psi. that helped my balance alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfox23 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 let your tire pressure down to about 15psi. that helped my balance alot but when i bounce on the back wheel wont the rim hit the ground? or is that if i bounce to hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 no , but it will give you more surface area on your tyre so its easier to balance. And letting it down by about 15psi wouldnt make a mega difference, but it will help. You wont hit your rim unless you bounce on a corner of a wall or something, if you let it down about the right amount. Dont make it so the weight of your bike makes the tyre shrink.

Grizzly Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Sorry double post Edited October 25, 2006 by Grizzly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 well 15psi is just a rough estimate. if you find it too soft and your rim hits the floor them pump it up to about 18-20psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfox23 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Ok thanks everyone for the help, i will change the psi jsut before i on my bike which will be a while now because its rainingThanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Letting down BY 15 psi would leave my tyres flat, I run between 10-15 on the rear, nice low pressure's for natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfox23 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Can you tell me it in bar or ibf please because my pump does not have a psi mark on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
