Three successful techniques last Saturday:
1. Pedal up: Successful up to a 3.5-foot gap & successful up to a rear wheel landing on a curb.
2. Pedal kick: Successful up a curb (pathetic height, syempre) & a little over a foot pedal kicking forward. Slid on my back a couple of times before nailing it. Buti walang whiplash yung bagsak - all rollbacks lang.
3. Nollie or Endo drop: Successful from 1.5 ft. ledge lang.
All of the above successful on an itsy bitsy scale. I'm just happy I'm able to do the moves

Buti walang whiplash yung bagsak - all rollbacks lang. - ingat. greaseart felt pain for a week or so after he crashed that saturday when you visited. spine injuries should be avoided. - in contrast. semplang is part of the training. though i've been avoiding it (by making sure of a finger on the brake all the time), i think it's the only way you could tell if you're really pushing yourself to learn a new skill.

I learned a lot from your skills Joes. Thanks.

I recently learned how to pedal kick up to a high curb when the front tire is far from the curb, i think its called a Surge.

Beware dude, learning rear wheel moves is very very very addicting. Its like a prolonged orga$m (male version) ;D For no. 1 try going a bit higher untill you feel your jerking your bike upwards. ;D thats amazing to watch and feel. Just sit on your rear tire and bring the bike upwards via handle bars. Three successful techniques last Saturday: 1. Pedal up: Successful up to a 3.5-foot gap & successful up to a rear wheel landing on a curb. 2. Pedal kick: Successful up a curb (pathetic height, syempre) & a little over a foot pedal kicking forward. Slid on my back a couple of times before nailing it.

Ey, Patrick! Yeah, man. It is addicting. I tried the pedal up on the 1.5 ft ledge 7 just couldn't get it. Tons of practice pa. It's in the 20's now so it's pretty cold now so the trials practice would have to lay low for now. Ayayay! And I just started doin' some fun stuff. Tsk, tsk.
Thanks for the tips, brad.

Try to practice in your garage ;D you basically dont need that much of space for a pedal up (drivetrain dependent) unless your doing it ala bunnyhop. Your STP is perfect for this move.
Oh when its cold practice 2 wheel and 1 wheel balance inside, trackstands and pedal kick to backhop.
To pedal kick from 2 wheels further focus really hard on where you need to land your rear wheel.
To pedal kick a gap from one wheel, drop your front tire as low as possible and push down (preload) on the bike, watch those Tuncliffe video in slow mo he exagerates everything so its easy to get the idea.
I have a problem now on how to increase my pedal up further than 2 feet, I couldnt consistently go higher than that and consistetly maintain height on different obstacles.

it's only now that i've been feeling the weight of my bike since i've started doing pedal kickies. i think i need a lighter setup or a smaller gut.

Thats 'prolonged male orgasm' hehe ;D joes STP would be good but seriuosly you dont need a new bike, im actually thinking of getting a grenade with gears and a light fork. Your fork is quite heavy, im thinking of a reduced travel mxcomp maybe 50mm. I tried doing some pedal kicks on a grenade and feels solid, a feel that you dont get from an aluminum bike.

and Joes get some gears ;D a road cog prolly and a road RD. It will help you a lot to get some pedal kicks going.
Hey please tell Greaseart that my kicks went farther thanks to him (I got some ideas watching him ;D) ... handlebars to the hips.

i think greaseart logs in here every now and then but i'll give him your regards. does anyone know if the Da Bomb rigid fork is still available at cycle art? greaseart doesn't want to lend me his! hehehe.
as i've said, i'm pretty happy with my current setup. i'm just curious though how much i could learn with a different bike.
last saturday, i traded i-pods with greaseart for a while. that really got me pumped! i think i was a little more agressive playing around with tunes on. i better stop loading air supply or chicago on my i-pod. hehehehe.

I have a problem now on how to increase my pedal up further than 2 feet, I couldnt consistently go higher than that and consistetly maintain height on different obstacles. Sadly, we live in a townhouse w/o a garage. And even if I had one, unless it's heated, it's still cold. Put it this way, it's like you're riding inside a freezer - there's frost on the cars actually. Yeah, I've been lookin' at some trials clips & saw how they were letting the front tire drop first before doing the pedal kick while on the rear wheel. Last night the temps went up again to about high 40's so I was able to ride a bit. I'm quite consistent on the pedal kick to backhop now - yahoo! Then I was able to do 3 successful pedal kicks on the rear wheel using that dropping the front wheel technique before every pedal kick - getting consistent. I used lines on the pavement as a gauge for the itsy bitsy gaps I was doin' - hehe. Thanks for the tips, man. ;D
