  1. Hi there,
    After a bit of a break from uni-ing i'm back into the swing of things
    and have mainly been working on rolling hops and seat out hops. i'm doin
    trials/street on a fairly heavy 24x3 muni with profiles and am wondering
    if anyone has tips for getting from crank stall to rubber on such a
    machine. seat out or in? etc. i can do it on a 20" but the extra size
    and weight is pissin me off any help?
    thanks,
    MArk

  2. I think seat out is the way to go unless you can hop pretty high seat
    in.

  3. I can do crank stall/grab to rubber on my Summit very consistently. I
    can only do seat in hops (barely can do a curb seat out).

    I surprised myself a while back doing crank grab/stall to rubber on my
    24x3 Gazz Muni.

    This may sound painfully obvious but remember learning crank grab to
    rubber on the 20? You just had to keep trying to hop a little higher and
    retract a bit better until you got it.

    The additional height needed is "only" 1 1/2 inches. A little harder hop
    and a little more retraction and you'll be up to rubber with the Muni
    soon enough.

    Regarding seat out; I understand pedal grab to rubber is easier seat out
    but is crank grab to rubber any easier seat out?

    since you're not on the tire, you don't get any bounce to propel you
    upwards. it's just yourself jumping up. clearly you could jump high
    enough to clear it, but I personally think it's easier to jump not as
    high, but pull up and bend your knees to get the tire on.
