No handers- extending your arms out

[anthscoots]

I cant extend my hands out. I can do no handers of quarters and stuff but i cant extend my arms out when i do them. I just let go of the bars and then grab them again. Any tips?

Like do them higher?

Yes. More air means more time to extend your arms, simple as that.

 

[Scott Trainer]

go bigger, practice, and commitment

joshrb: Ye i can do that, i just have trouble landing em when i extend my arms out fully.

markmacwan: Ye it is simple, right until i have to land it.

Your feet shouldnt have to leave the deck like that. Pinch the steerer tube between your knees.

I finally got em! My method of doing em might be kinda different but whatever. I launch off a quarter then i kick my feet slightly out so the bars tuck into my stomach. I find them alot easier that way.
