funtrials Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Pull up on the inside handle grip (in the direction that you want the front end to go, when doing a front-end hop.) Really helped my brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funtrials Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Out experimenting today. Sometimes a FLOATER turn (front wheel in the air, since it's so tight) is a good option to consider. The trick I keep finding (and Ryan Young's video says this for sure) is to STAB down on the INSIDE foot peg! Put all your weight on that inside peg, for just a second, in a violent motion. The difference is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funtrials Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I've likely mentioned before how I'm able to turn tighter now since on my '08 GasGas I removed that rubber turning-stop that's against the frame. I put a small piece of tape to (well, somewhat) keep where the fork-brace HITS the frame (now that that rubber turn-stop has been removed) from chipping the paint on the frame. It's worth it. The most experienced rider in the US National series uses that technique, and I like it. One of my riding partners balked at doing this, however.
