I spent all fall/winter/early spring working on my dirt jumping and now that I feel confident riding the mounds of dirt on my HT, it's time to go back to DH season again.

How do you throw tricks in of drops? I'm used to throwing tricks in that second of air when you are neither rising or falling. When doing a drop, I never have that feeling, so simple things like no-footers seem really difficult. And anything above a bunnyhop off a curb, I can't quite seem to take my feet off the pedals.

What is the proper technique to doing no-footed drops and not sucking the bike up to your body? (if you want to kick a foot over the toptube or whatever).

how big is your drop?

 

[jeff da grom]

That's about what i'm looking to do. It's not the size of the drop, It's how you use it. lol.

I have some local drops ranging from about 2 ft, to well over the size of RTN. The size isn't the issue, it's the technique.

Are you bunnyhopping on the porch @ phantom to do that, or just kicking em off on the way down?

 

[FOXROX]

well, for me it depends how it is set up. phantome you more or less just do it like a jump

That position is only acceptable if you fart.


And it must be audible.

I was just wondering how loud it was...


..hmmm....

so you are bunnyhopping and at the peak, just like when jumping you take your legs off???

 

[FOXROX]

phantom i do both, depends how big you wana go. it is easier to roll of and do it to start

See I'm always timid about looking like a total goon. I throw the occasional one footer, but I'm scared to graduate to that level of goofyness. Any tips?

 

[fortenndu]

haha, no footers are sloppy.

 

[ZHendo]

i personally prefer tables and no handers to no footers if you're looking at a comparable level of difficulty, but suit yourself...

never do no footers

 

[dexter]

[dan wask]

Check your sarcasm meter kthx

 

[jeff da grom]

eh... funny looking, but they are the stepping stone to no foot cans which are my favorite trick.
