AlanD Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Watched all the vids and they make it look so easy so hopped on the bike for a quick practice....urrrmm...not so easy. I am starting to realize my issues though: firstly, i need to get further back on the bike, more so than i think, in like almost sitting on the rear tyre for the manuel part which i am only practicing at the moment. Hip flexibility helps here. Secondly: Fear. I got it right about twice (getting the front wheel high) but then i panicked and front wheel dropped. Need to be comfortable hanging right off the back of the bike for the first part. Once that is nailed then i can practice the second part.

No need to bruise your bum lol.

Thermophage Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 You mean your calf?Occasionally looks like I was attacked by a wild animal. Yep...battle scars to be proud of...Just don't tell anyone all you were doing when you got them was standing opening a combination lock on a gate
RockCoach Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Yep...battle scars to be proud of...Just don't tell anyone all you were doing when you got them was standing opening a combination lock on a gate I usually get mine while moving the bike around indoors.
s14phoenix Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 "Daai goed is erg kwaad en het tanne" - buddy of mine 2 days after I fitted a set of the proper Giant flat on his bike He says every now and then he gets bitten by them as to remind him not to suck.
RockCoach Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Always use shin guards (even the soccer one will do) while learning to hop a bunny.
