Airing a spine.

[MeowRahh]

I've been working on airing the spine at my local park for a few days now, I just don't seem to hit it right.
Any tips on it?
I can post a video of the size of it too.

might wanna find a thread to put this in instead of making this, but just practice, try to see what ur doing wrong, im sure its something very minor your messing up on.

 

[MeowRahh]

Yeah I dunno, my friend watched me and he told me to keep my feet on but I went like 2 feet over it, so I think I just a have a little too much speed.

 

[Mike Hunt]

commitment is the most important thing when your doing a spine. just hold on and you'll do it

</insider joke>

^^lmao.



I've never done a spine over like 3 or 4 ft tall so I should not be talking, but the bmxers who do the 6ft gigantor spine at one park near me kinda do a small moto whip if you know what I mean in order to do it smooth and not loop out.

Yeah the kids that I ride with all bike, so that's all they do (And frankly they hog the ---- out of it).
The spine I'm doing is around 3 feet..
Here's a video of it compared to me: ]

just get speed and get comfortble with transition. you dont launch out of a spine, just boost upwards and learn forward.

Well that sounds better than "Dude you totally got it, just monster truck it."

 

[brandon kilbury]

hit it with speed, like 4 tries and youll get it, its just a matter of leaning forward and commiting to it

i scoot bowl. i find that the hips on the bowl are alot like spines. just try on a hip and keep taking it higher and higher until u can air over them. i can get up to 3-4 ft air out a 6ft spine, so yeah. and it deff transfers over to a real spine, ive tried

 

[Corey]

3-4 ft seems like a lot...

 

[AX3D]

dude seriously just be street and jump it to flat then go from there haha. at least you wont loop out that way lol/

 

[MeowRahh]

Well look at the video: Spine Video
I mean I'm 5'8", so compare it to me in the video

^^^ he was talking about the guy above him that claims he launches 3-4 ft out of 6 ft spines. but dude I live in utah too, we should meet up and ride, where the eff is clinton?

 

[Hep Greg]

dont try to travel forward when you air spines. go straight up, and point your nose down on the decent. lean forward when you come down, and land. thats really all there is to it.

I'll PM you, I'll show you the sickest park in Utah (haha..)

AND TO Hep Greg: Yeah I think I got it.

ha i just go from one side to the other kinda hard to explain but go on an angle so you can go higher and huck like fuck but i aint the master at spines though

Yeah, I get how to do it, it's just the couping always gets my front wheel caught.

Not so much a spine that size but when you get to 5-6 ft you want to carve it. Maybe people will not agree but yeah.
