Re: 2 street tricks

I just got into and out of hopping on the wheel for the first time. I
also coasted about five meters, then switched to gliding, then to wheel
walking. Last week I did hand wheel walk sitting on the seat for 40
steps and rode out of it.😄

thats what i need help with,360 off drops.
I can do 360s on flats,but do it off any drop,no matter how low.
the way i do them is ride fast then turn sharply in the direction of the
spin,while turning take off.Thus making it not quite 360,more like 345
or350.
Help?

what works for me is turning my head the direction i turn, and pull hard
on the saddle, a 360 isn't like a 180 where you can turn slowly you have
to really spin hard,

that's what works for me anyway

2 stairs...

i cant even grind 2 stairs normally... how the hell do you do it?

they are so short. more like kiss the rail.

but thats cool.

ive bin practicin this trick. back E.T to grind to 180 out

mostly on flat ledges but on skatepark down ledges too

oh and E.T's are like the movie ET when the bikes start flying, what is
the point of them pedaling? what is the point man? what is the point if
your flying ? it doesnt make any sense. so a back ET is where you jump,
and do a full rev in back pedal.

Coasting, you can't have a foot touching the tire, in gliding you can.

Well, today I got to ride outside for the first time this week. This
week I've landed several unispins (something new for me) and the 180
spin jump mount. I have done the transitions to and from handride
several times, but still haven't gotten in and out of it without falling
off. Today I did a couple of coasts that were at least ten meters,
possibly fifteen, and I also did one-footed wheel walk in a figure
eight. How is everyone else doing on freestyle? (if that is acceptable
in this thread)

Actually, in gliding you DO, otherwise it would be coasting.

for me it isin't going that well with freestyle, just training on
dragseat and (little) one foot wheelwalk and some unispins. when the
summer arrives i think it will be more, but until that i'm just training
on street tricks.

Does anyone got a tip on gliding and one foot wheelwalk?
