stop trying to 180 at the end if you stop that you got it down Smile

spqrtomas (Oct 21, 2007 at 10:38)

i know that, but i watched on landing to early and i'm afraid for too short rotation - that's why i'm going to 180 :/
but at the end there's one landed Razz

freerider27 (Jul 14, 2008 at 17:12)

such a simple trick. go faster, pull up like a motherf*cker liek you were going for the biggest manual of your life, stay small during the rotation and try and look for your back tire with your eyes

afro-99 (Dec 26, 2008 at 19:42)

what if you find your back tire up your ass

ADHDave (Aug 14, 2009 at 10:39)

fair play for trying, but you need to improve your technique. they are actually quite a simple trick (so simple even i can do!)

Daniel622 (Aug 31, 2009 at 1:52)

mam pytanie czy to twoje 1 próby czy próbowałeś do gąbek?

spqrtomas (Aug 31, 2009 at 11:49)

do gąbek zrobiłem dosłownie tylko kilka flipów i to na mega długim dragstarze... na więcej nie było czasu, więc trzeba było załapać o co biega na twardo Big Grin

poza tym to było ze 2 lata temu, kiedy nawet nie było kogo się podpytać jak to się robi Smile

MrDede (Oct 6, 2009 at 12:13)
