trialsrider101 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 1 ride at the object slowly 2 put your front wheel on top of it 3 when your front wheel is on top of it pull your front brake 4 lean forwards untill you think your going to go over the bars. 5 release the front brake this will make your back wheel drop 6 pull up on your bars when the back wheel hits the object 7 put your back brake on.8 hop about a bit 9 ride off smiling10 KEEP PRACTISING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 also known as a zap-tap, practice on a wall with a slight sloped/rounded lip, it kinda works as a kicker to help pull the bike through, and watch vids, lots of vids, you'll eventually get the feel of it.

Peaky Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 The above tips are all heading in the right direction I think but the best way to learn this (in my opinion) is to firstly get the idea of doing it from a rolling start before trying to do it from stationary. By using a rolling start you can then carry your momentum into and though the manoeuvre making it a bit easier and it will help you to learn the kind of shape that you have to make with your body and bike. The key is to keep moving when you do this and not to put your front wheel down, completely come to a halt and then try to do it. If you can do it all in one fluid motion it will be mcuh easier. When you have the hang of that then you will have learnt most of the technique but from stationary the action has to be exagerated!Hope its of some help to you Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
