OK - Want to get some endo action in....
Is it best to fit a front brake to practice them or is there some other way which will give good results, perhaps against the trusty curb?
-
whack your foot behind the fork crown when your rolling along, then your halfway to learning footjams on the ramp
-
Is that really the easiest way??? It seems like going from walking to running against Bolt in the 100m sprint!!!
-
Use a break dude....much more stylish.
Or go proper old school style and do them up against a curb.
If you remember they did used to call them a "Curb Endo" and a "No Curb Endo"
Good luck.
Daz. :daumenhoch:

i would definately recomend the curb for a learner
then brake then footjam but my foot is sore from a session last night damn reeboks and small feet lol

Mmmmm, Dave, it's not often me and you disagree dude, certainly when it comes to the use of a front brake. Endos, Nose Picks I agree with but not rack walks. They look much more fluid when you do they with out a brake, that's how I learned them originally because that's how Sir Bob did them so I just copied him. Granted, it's much harder to do them smooth without a brake but once you've mastered it they rock - excuse the pun ;D

OK, as a long time front brake user, here's my input:
-Nosepics always look better WITH a front brake. FACT!
-Rockwalks always look better (and should only be done) WITHOUT a front brake. FACT!
(remember NS kids, just cos you got a brake on, you dont HAVE to pull it!)
-Id say that although brakeless curb endos are rad, learning endos on the flat with a front brake is best. On a curb, there is always the chance that if you go to high the front wheel will roll back under you. Very nasty. Just pull the front brake, bend your legs to pull the back wheel up, and try to get your arse on the back tyre.

Brakes first but apparently they're not cool now so curb, foot, or dead ex's gaping jaw.

Mmmm.....not bitter there are we Greg....? :LolLolLolLol:
NEVER, EVER use a front brake for a rock walk.

What the hell is a Rockwall?

A rockWALK is a front wheel 180 to back wheel 180 - just check Dave Mc's reply with VIDEO. That's a rockwalk...

Nice!
(Have to say I thought that was his Signature :shocked: )

They're not that hard to learn and are a killer 'instant' trick that you can throw anywhere. Have a go! Rockwalks will always be cool!
-
Rock walks with brakes look fooking bad. I love front brake tricks but a front wheel 180 should be done brakeless.
And done going as fast as you can without falling off!!!!! :LolLolLolLol:

The worst crash I had on the first Old Fools trip was trying a wrong/opposite way rockwalk (without using the brake).
I came a right cropper, Ive not tried one again. :crazy2:

yeah i agree rockwalks do look better done without brakes, sir bob did them so fluidly ..endos and rockwalks will always rule!! when i got my 06 sport the first thing i did after building it up was get out there and see if i could still rockwalk after 20 years away !! it never leaves you !! ;D
-
front brakes rule!! i've always rode with one.......but then i'm rubbish anyways ;D
i took my lad and his mates to a few parks last week skating....there were some locals sat there on their bikes watching, none of them had brakes at all.....so thought they would be good?? no they were worst than me!! and just kept running into everyone and everything. I asked them why they don't have brakes? they just said "cos no one rides with them anymore" :uglystupid2:
fooking idiots!!

Look at that. A street with no cars and big pavements. I bet if you went back to that street now there would be cars parked all along it, half on the road and half on the pavement. Probably speed humps also in the middle of the road. :)
