HowTo
Depending on the length and slope of the run-in, you'll want a speed when your taking off about the speed of a jog.
A few feet before the object you will stall, you need to pull your front up high.
When your back tire is about a foot or two away from the object, pull your weight up and tuckyour back tire in, while leaning back.
To get off: Lean back farther, so your front moves upwards, then shift your weight on a 45 degree angle between up and back.
Tuck your back wheel in and push your front forward.
Then when you land, back pedal and turn your bars slighly, then brake or lock your cranks to spin 180 out.TIP: When stalling, don’t worry about the lean. You should be just behind the centre of your back wheel (just above and back from the hub). Don’t forget to keep the brake locked until ready to get out of the trick!
TIP: While stalling your body should remain loose and your arms and legs should be bent ready to spring back off theobstacle.
