OK i have another question. When landing this should i land seat out or seat in? The one that I landed before i landed it seat out, but that was the only one i landed.
Also, for some reason i keep hitting my ankles somehow. My left ankle is swolen today. Just wondering why. Kelly.
if u have some soccer shin pads lying around, u might be in luck there are some of them with some padding over the ankle-bone in addition to the protection for your shins
if u go with Jester's suggestion, u'll also pick up an extra mount into the bargain
Don't send your legs out too far. Sometimes I forget about that. It may make it look cooler with a wide spread but it makes it harder to get them back in. Just hold them out far enough to clear the wheel. Then pull them in as tight as you can, like munimanpete said, don't worry about pedals at this point. Put your main spinning hand right above the seatpost, it makes it spin truer and faster. Do it seatout at first, it will make for another variable you don't have to worry about. Just go for it and work at it.
Darchibald, when you say put you main spinning hand(in my case it is my right hand which spins it clockwise) right above the seatpost, what do you mean? Do you mean on the saddle right above the seat post? Thanks, Kelly.
Yeah, I used to have one on the side of the handle (right) and one on the side of the bumper (left). Mike Clark told me to put my right hand, which was doing most of the spinning above the seatpost (still on the saddle). I did and got it a few tries later. Also try to hold onto it all the way, at least with one hand, in both our cases the right one. You end up twisted and your hand is all weird on the side of the saddle, then grab it again with your left hand. It looks weird but it works and there probably is a better way that you'll find eventually.
