hang of it, i can do it when i am goin and suddenly stop and endo i cn through the back end around,

i have seen some video's but still cnt get the hang of it

thanks josh

It is key to brace your arms, shoulders, legs etc then use bar input through your braced body all the way down to the insides of your boots against the bike. If you can do a nose wheelie first, then work into the above described manuever. Once nose wheelie turns are mastered, try to do the same with clutch against brakes, and a suspension bounce combined with the braced body input to pegs and bars, while stopped. What I mean is a subtle gassing of the engine against rear brake to compress the back end, and bounce the back end once its loaded and ready to rebound with your body jump. Clear as mud I suppose.

Goodness me... no wonder I can't do it!

hey,

you have to load the rear susp. by going backwards and downwards with your body, then unload the suspension by going up and forwards whit your body and help the rear wheel going up by use of the clutch. front brake is full on during this action.

to go sidewards just let your body go to the right (or left) when unloading the rear wheel and uure legs to bring the bike back under the body.

practise frontwheel downwards on a gentile slope.

hope it helps

i will have a go at it, i dnt think they will be much luck like,

i will keep practing and 1 day may get it right on the world trials they make it look so easy

i wish that it was that easy

thanks josh

hope that i can put this to my training at a trial

Do others squeeze the bike with ankles/heels to bring the bike across?, or is it another bad habit to break?

I try not too squeeze it when general riding, just when doing nose wheelie turns.

i just compress the back end with the front brake on and when the bikes at the bottom blip the throttle, let the clutch out a tiny bit and completely unweight the pegs (without jumping off them!) then you move the back end round with your arms and hips. it strange because it takes 30 seconds or so to read an explanation but the whole process is much less than a second and you kind of do all these things at once
