Bail Tips??

[NateShewell]

I was wondering when you get big air and are doing a trick what is the best way to land if u are about to bail?

1.If you have knee pads on falling from high distance.
2. If u dont have knee pads on falling from a high distance.

I'd assume if in a half pipe and are bailing go to your knees.

Any other tips for bailing would be helpful, so i can stay on the scooter longer...

try to steer clear from that. you have a better chance of breaking your leg/foot

anyway
1. if on airouts try to land on your knees and slide down the transition. if on flyout, dont go staright to your knees. try to do wat nick said but in a smooth motion
2.um.... run away from it. roll. fly. idk

i just decided one day to not fall

i just decided one day to not fall

thats the best thing to do.

but if you ever decide you want to fall you should learn how to WITHOUT USING KNEE PADS!!!

it might sound like a bad way to learn but trust me, you will not want to fall because that shit hurts!! and it will make you more consistant.

but if you decide to wear them, remember that they do not always protect your joints and knees from impact, you still can injure yourself if you rely on them too much. Id only advise them if you are riding Vert or something you can seriously injure yourself on, but you can do whatever you wish.

Start out riding street with out them then work your way up to riding park. You will get better and better at saving yourself and you wont have to rely on kneepads all the time so if they ever do fail you wont get hurt.

in the end you will want to wear them because they do help most of the time, but learnign how not to rely on them is an excellent idea so you wont get hurt if they ever fail.

Yeah but still, theres skill to falling. When they interviewed him he talked about how he knew he had to turn his body so his whole body would absorb the fall, instead of one part of his body, so you can see him kind've spot his fall, and turn as he comes down.

my favourite way to bail is roll... i take a bit of foot impact and roll...

but i mostly just fall on my ass

 

[chrisisme]

Bailing out is tricky. If you already know you're fucked mid-air on vert/flyout, throw your scooter away and try to land on your ass (knees if you have pads. I wear kneepads for this reason). Otherwise your feet is your best option. On stairs keep your scoot and try to land anyway, you're already fucked.

 

[Cody Henderson]

on stairs if i dont feel right, i usually just put my other foot down? sme with alot of other stuff, if nto just throw your scoot away land on your feet and like barrel roll or something to take some impact haha

 

[tomborsari]

i kinda roll out if i can

 

[nick12667]

i hate it when you air a hip big and in the air your like "eh might make it, but looks like i might case it." then you dont bail and sure enough, you case that sucka. happened to me today. WITH MY 20 WIDES

 

[nick12667]
