Pegging in, and my sore foot.

[oberonspacefruit]

Which has just been dragged at an awkward angle down 6 foot of mini ramp.

The ageing human body is crap. It sets you back.

Anyway, ive been practicing on the mini, rollin in, popping out, and  rolling back back in  to eventually get a handle on peg grinds.

Thats not too bad, but as soon as  I try to place my pegs on the coping, i realise i am leaning far too much towards the deck, too do anything of use, and within a flash its feet off pedals time.

so I have tried to get pegging in right.

Now, i can roll in on 12 foot of vert, but given 5 foot of halfpipe and 2 pegs, it all goes to pot..
 I can also do that cheat where the left crank arm is down, and you kind of push of the deck with your right, but still placing your pegs on the coping.
I just cant seem to place the weight right, for proper pegging, and end up doing the slide of shame.

its not that i dont know how it should be done, ( right pedal on the deck, weight over the pipe, turning in) its just that i cant seem to do it. its not a natural position for the body to be over that nothingness.

how have you got over it?

or is it just doing it a thousand times, and fooking your foot on every one?

Speak to JT71!!!

He was trying for months then found a way to do it! And speak to Jedi and Philbert. Both of them helped

Practice makes perfect Phil, you should have had a ride with you at Creation the other week and took some coaching from someone on how to do it  

[TwoBobRob]

You just need an evening of me shouting at you bud, that'll see it learnt  

Pegging in;  committment is key.  Get up on your pedals, crank back slightly so that your pedal isn't resting on the deck, hurl yourself in, pull bike over so it's perpendicular to the riding surface, look where you want to go and turn in. All in one fluid motion  

Forget the one footed cheat, it'll just hurt you.

Yeah, you need to do a thousand of em.  They don't need to hurt you every time though mate.

[jedi]

 i decided that rather than feel guilty about not riding , i would actually not take a bike.

It's not a pretty sight !

Endo is about my limit 

[Dark Diggler]

Phil. You need to leave the feet on, worst case, your face will cushion the blow as it normally does 

[oberonspacefruit]

i tried.

honestly i did, but sliding horiizontally down  a ramp makes me pop a leg for stability, which ends in the swollen shoe blues.

[jedi]

look lean turn

[oberonspacefruit]

look lean turn

thats like the "mister men" version of how to do it.

you forgot,

pause,
fret,
and fall.



heh heh

[jedi]

pegging in is simply.esp if someone holds your bike so you can practice the body movement before axctually dropping in

[oberonspacefruit]

thats where im going wrong.... i need more slaves......


thanks for the advise pal.

[jedi]

any time

[Bushwacked]

All I will say is don't over steer - I did that and came a cropper... 

[oberonspacefruit]

and hurt their foot.

I would have thought that is quite unusual  most under steer and lean back to the platform so sliding down the ramp!

Bru 

I was starting just pegging in and when dropping I was turning too much and aiming well past 90degrees - first time I did it I was OK then second time bars whipped out of my hands - landed on end of them and bust a rib!!!  

Wish I'd under steered  

[jedi]

can you hurt your foot dropping in then?   

[oberonspacefruit]

i hope he's available to play at my funeral next week.

[Bushwacked]

Someone's hurt their foot??


How??

 

[oberonspacefruit]

[jedi]

moccasins can be slippy on mini ramps
