adjuggler. you have a pretty good prehop but it looks like you might be
a little to close. i noticed a few times that your tire hit the side of
the ledge on the way up. try lengthening your prehop a little. ( about
a foot)
also, i noticed that you still lean over your seat as you try to tuck.
you have to break these Seat In habbits. leaning over the seat takes
away the ability to tuck.
thanks! riley!

When I first tried this I found my center of gravity pulled me backward
towards (my back duh :) ) How would I compensate for this shift? I
tried moving my thighs forward on landing, helping a little. Ever have
this issue?

Looking at some other videos I saw people shifting to the side instead
(but also) straightening their back. This allowed movement of the tuck
to fill the space taken up by leaning over their seat. Comments?

the way i fixed the problem as tilting my feet forward on the pedals.
it gave me something to kinda grab onto. but thats just me. lemme watch
your vid again..

k. so since you were leaning over the seat it was stopping you from
tucking. now, your trying to correct the problem but that is making you
fall backwards?

with practice, youll find a happy medium.. once you get your technique
right youll be doin good

Not for me. I just don't prehop because of my I ride plastic pedals,
and if I prehop, my feet leave the pedals. I'll buy a pair of metal
pedals tomorrow.
