billycraig Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 TTC Practice it on a bike and then when you've mastered transferring your weight it should be easy to move on to moto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_urban Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 i think its a compo of throttle brake and clutch some of the adam raga vids on u tube are best to watch for how he does it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the addict Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) I can do a few, maybe 12 or so on a good day and its a skill well worth learning, it can get you out of trouble very easily especially on hills or uphill turns. It took bloody ages to learn and I,m not good at it now, from my point of view use the back brake to stop yourself going backwards as well as holding forward/rear balance whilst the suspension reloads . The clutch is far more important than the throttle and the biggest tip is not to rush anything or over-do any body movements/legs,throttle,clutch. You dont have to jump the back wheel 2 foot in the air every time, just unloading and compressing the suspension has the same effect unless you want to jump rocks. Just like hopping the front or back wheel, timing is everything, wait for the suspension before you move.
