For abubacas and fufanus..

[zacaroo]

do you have to hop into them for it to be called one?

i can i was trying abubacas today and i roll up brake about 1 inch below coping as it was my first go and hold and hop back in, i didnt land any but that was becoz i couldnt pivot but otherwise i was fine hoping back into the ramp and faking down...

any help cheers..

sorry i posted this here but i cant access tricks help and this is the most relevant area for my question i thought..

[zacaroo]

anyone please?

[Wildbill]

its suppose to be done on the edge of whatever your stalling on. coping, ledge edge, etc.. So essentially you do have to hop onto the edge, i mean you could try to pedal real fast to get up and onto the edge but its easier hopping ontop of the edge. This will aslo compress all your weight ontop that one spot instead of moving forward.

i cant hop onto it, scary/i cant with fufanus..

i will get a couple on film this afternoon and post so i can get tips..thanks

I'm mad at fufs and boobs, my brakes have new pads and aren't broken in yet so my brakes wont stick good enough...I've never been able to ge tthem down though. I always do something wrong. I'll stick with disasters and nothings for now.

Just a smidge higher up and it would have been perfect.
The whole hopping in and out of the trick adds to the coolness factor, but I don't think it means it's not done correctly if you don't do it. In other words, as long as you ride away without touching, you did the trick. The other stuff ia all just minor tweaks to dial it in and make it look that much cooler.

Simple answer is no............... Fufs and Abubacs can be done by rolling into them, thats how they are taught so it must be the trick otherwise you teach them to include a hop at the start.

The only 2 real reasons why I can think you need a hop are

a) cos you landing on something like a ledge, box, back-rail, etc
b) its helps place the wheel and apply the pressure allowing you to compress for the pop-turn exit (Fuf) or hop back to claer the edge (abubaca)

Rolling up to the top of a bank and popping out is sometime harder tah hopping the last few inches into it.

i find i always hit my front wheel now when i land my back wheel on the coping because i actually like hold it where as others at my local hop on and off really quick..how can i avoid hitting my front wheel all the time?

your have to hop backwards, than you should clear your front tire better.

These are fun tricks....

Yer, I suck at getting abubacas on coping, but i can nail them when I hop onto a ledge, then pop back...weird. I have trouble holding the brake as I ride downhill, and as a skill we need to use only one finger on the brakes, so I can't really take 2 fingers off the grips, if i do, I faceplant.

[bmx guy]

every time i do boobs i always f/w case

[jawn]

I remember when people used to do abubacas on the deck, instead of the coping :o I still think it's rad, because it's harder to get back into the ramp.

[zacaroo]

that would have been sick to see. man some stuff has gone out over the years, i havent done any boobies in a while so i might re learn but i just learnt tailtaps :D

[jawn]

^ Goes out indeed, my fellow Aussie. I'd love to see some deck-abubicas if you ever get 'em down :>

[primobmx]

ive got the bubacas basicly dialed but the fufanus are really hard to me.

for getting back out into transition so you dont case your front wheel takes a little time. ive wrecked a few times casing my front wheel. ive also had my back wheel slip out on a bubaca too wasnt too bad since it was on a metal 1/4

[zacaroo]

my problem when i was doing them was f/w casing...it is *** lol

[znn1337]

i wrencently just collaposed my ankle doing abubucas.

pretty much broke it in 3 different places. my brakes unlocked in mid trick and i wasnt ready to come out of othe stall yet.
