How to soften the impact after wheelie

Featured Replies

Hi,

When I bought a trial bike, I was surprised by how low the handle is. It hurt my back and wrists but after half a year of practices, I get used to it.

However, one thing still hurts me is the impact when the front wheel hits the ground after slow wheelie.

I feel like 100% of my body weight is on my wrists and elbows.

I have been trying to somehow release the impact to my legs, but not quite sure how I can do it.

If there are any tricks for soft landing, I would appreciate it.

 

Its all about body position. Watch a video of the top riders. They always keep the weight back and arms at full length. Good luck.

Thanks.

Yes, I noticed that their arms are extended.

I'll try to correct my posture and see what happens.

If you post a video it would be helpful in seeing what you may be doing wrong.
