gasgas Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 With the hopping, do they(the pro's) still keep a finger on the frontbrake or do they let go of it? I find it sooo difficult to be gentle on the throttle and keeping a finger up at the brake lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m by no means a good rider (crap infact!) but I personally feel real uncomfortable without a finger on both the clutch and brake! maybe it`s just a thing i`ve taken from BMX and MTB always had one finger on the brakes! Oh yeah forgot too mention I can`t do this hoping anyway but just in general need my finger on the levers!

the addict Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I find it a lot easier without a finger on the front brake, feels awkward to start with but gives much better feel to the throttle when you blip it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 gasgas Some do, some don't, Just look at the photos. It makes no diffrence when hopping on the back wheel. The clutch is more important than throttle control.Well it is with me but i have only just starting to get 4 or 5 hops in on a bank.Oh and your legs are important.
