t33zr Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 If u guys ride with 2 fingers... i think you should need a new brake or maybe grind youre rim....Ive NEVER used 2 fingers..... and aparently thats because my brakes are good.....

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 how can you ride with 3 or more fingers :P:PI do dan, i use a little bit of rope tied to my lever, i pull on the rope...Much easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20inchsuperstar Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 i use 1 finger on each, it's the only way! if you use more then you stand more chance of wrecking your brakes (maggies) my mate did :$ on my mates da bomb (trials boi 06 you know who you are!!) you have to use all the fingers on the side of the bar for that brake PLUS all the fingers from the other ide to get a good grip matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concussion Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah` one on each lever. Still feels like I'm gonna lose my grip on the bar sometimes.... must have small hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 One on the back all the time, and normally death grip on the front when I'm not needing to use it, ie, spins, bunny hops etc.The less fingers you're using to pull your break, the more control you have on the bar/bike.

Tomm Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Anything other than one finger braking is just wrong. There's personal preference, but this is just a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyoyo Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Used to use two fingers a long time ago.Just started to make myself use one finger, and over time they got stronger and now i have no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez.sheridan Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Two fingers - just can't get away from it, no matter how well my wheel locks, it always slips slightly if I do a high energy move with less than two fingers.I feel I've always been in somewhat of a catch-22 situation, if I use two fingers I can gap etc, but it probably restricts the power/control I have when hopping up stuff - but if I move to 1 finger, I may have more control eventually, but it'll take time to build up enough strength/co-ordination..which will reduce my confidence in my brake in the meantime.1 finger on both, ive seen people break magura's by using 2 fingersYeah, been there..on a 1-foot hop up - it was embarassing as it was hardly a move atall.

FoxRacer Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 one finger, it feels the most comfortably in that way. I don't have finger on front brake lever when doing taps though as I find no need for it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 One each - if you're brake can't lock and hold with just one finger then it's not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTF Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 If you use more than one finger for trials, youll most likely die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
