I aint got the fear of falling, its just i seem to not be getting any better at them. I suppose i best just stick at the practicing & bailing haha

Cheers, anyway chaps

trust me i was once in ur shoes. but wen i decided on getting hang 5's on lock it took about a week of trying them at least an hour everyday.

i guess also make sure ur arms r as straight as they can b without locking up ur elbows.

Commit. I was always hoping i wouldn't go over the bars but since it's not even that painful i stopped caring and thats when i got them better

wat Rob said all it takes is committing
ohh and once you learn those you should go to nose manuals cuz there betterrr

Use your loose foot more than you think you need.. it helps at first.

Try draging your toe on the ground to learn the balance point

The main problem is that I cannot lock the deck (deck kept moving) causing me to fall :/ how to overcome it?

 

[AlexScootss]

What helps me (since I tend to do that also) is try to keep directly centered over the deck/bars and You just have to let it flow, when I try really hard to keep it up, It never goes as well as letting it "flow"

 

[Victor Saldarriaga]

git stiff NO MOVMENT FROM THE HEAD DOWN and use the your foot thats not on your scooter to keep yourself in a hang5

 

[skooterdood32]

Where do you usaully keep your toes?! I tried to keep them on the deck, the bottom of the headtube, and the top. I either go over the bars or not high enough to keep the deck up

 

[Scootinkid]

try different foot positions and its really just balancing out the presure on your bars the same as whats on your deck

 

[skooterdood32]

Alright thanks
How long did it take you to learn them?
