[HowTo] No Footer [P][S][V]

[ashy]

A no footer is exactly what the name says. In the air you take both feet off and kick them to the side then bring them back on the pedals. OK.

Once you learn this trick you will be able to do them off pretty much anything. The best thing is they are one of the most stylish beginner tricks you can learn.

1. Start by riding along flat ground at a slow pace and then jump up and fling your feet out to the side and then land with your feet on the floor. When you get confident with that you can land on the pedals to do this look at your pedals while your feet are in the air and simply just bring your legs back to your pedals.

2. It is quite easy to do no footers on the floor but doing them off a ramp can be quite scary because you are afraid of scraping your shins down the pedals. I'm not going to lie you probably will cut your shins but if you don't want this to happen just wear shin pads.

3. Approach the ramp at the same speed you would usually use to clear the ramp. I learnt on a tabletop so i didn't have to worry about not clearing the gap.

4. Lift of the ramp with your front wheel a little less than you usually would if you were jumping the ramp.

5. When you feel your back wheel leave the ramp DO NOT tuck up because it will make it much harder. All you have to do when your back wheel leaves the ramp is look at your pedals and kick your feet out to the side. To start they don't have to be far out you just build up. Remember to not lift your feet up! Because it makes it harder to get your legs far out.

This guy has lifted his feet up to high and as a result his legs are bent and not very far out



6. You will feel naturally when you should bring you legs back. When you are bringing them back spot where you want to land on the landing ramp pull your legs in and ride away. Remember don't leave you feet sticking out no matter how scared you get this will just rip your shins to shreds. Oh, and another thing to do try and make sure you put your feet on the pedal like you would normally have them because if you land on your heels 99% chance they are going to slip off forwards and rip the back of your leg same with landing on your tip toes but your foot will fall off backwards.

Hope this helps you learn no footers!!!!! ASHY

Nice tut sir.

Not bad.


I just jumped and threw my feet off behind me. After 4 tries, I had it. I would suggest pulling the bars slightly toward your chest as your feet come off. That way they look farther extended than they are...and avoids the pic on the article(guy looks like a frog). Key word on any limbless trick...EXTEND THE LIMB/LIMBS

Good advice. I remember when I learnt can-cans, I started with just moving my leg to the other side of top tube to get used to the difference balance, then worked on doing it fast, then did it off a jump (but landing with the leg still over the top tube), then off a jump with the leg back on the right side, but not yet on the pedal, then ofc onto the pedal. It's good to work up to things.

Start by riding along flat ground at a slow pace and then jump up and fling your feet out to the side and then land with your feet on the floor.

Another good idea is to start with the feet on the ground, holding the bars, then jumping onto the pedals. Helps to relieve the fear of missing them.
