halfpipe advice??

pump when you get to the tranny, itll transfer your forward momentum into upward momentum alot better than riding fast alone

eric is right, its pump too. when your going down shove with your arm out and down andpush down with your legs. going up kinda lean back and stand up. if you were on a set of rollers you would look like you are always the same height. this really gets shown in BMX racing. look on you tube for the 06 ABA Grand Nationals. if you look at them in the rythem (the last section that has a curve in it) sory to change the subject to bmx. its just pumping tho

there is a huge secret kinda. you have to pump. which means when you hit the front of the QP bend your knees and then pull them up when you almost hit the top of the QP.

couldn't put it better than that.
pump down the tranny then up it, and hit the coping to air farther out

i get scared when i get past the coping...
once my back wheel caught and i was thrown down...

 

[chet-star]

make sure your front wheel hits the coping so it shoots you out

 

[godfather]

ok, i just learned, just keep pumping around and jump as u turn, keep getting higher and higher. it takes pratice.

get alot of speed and DONT bunny hop, let your back wheel leave the coping and level out your 180 and glide back in????

 

[Stantheman]

[yamamsmells]
