I don't realy know what i'm doing wrong, every time I try I get pinched or only go like half way around and pull out of it. I know it's hard to give advice with what I said, but could you please help me.

I kind of lean back going up the lip, the more I can lean back the easier it seems, then just tun hard with your head leading. I don't know if that helps or not because I suck at explaining things.

I was not being a 'smartass'. I could not tell that you were giving advice to him. You do not have to call me a 'smartass' since I already said that I misinterpreted you.

I cant do then either but my people that i know can tell me they are easier to the side if your just starting to do them, opposed to doing them straight up...
It helps to becomfortable whiping your bike sideways and being able to click awesome turnbars!

I tried on a jump box and ended up sliding down the landing, closely followed by my bike

Haha i must have typed that wrong i meant people that i know that do them... not my people.

Haha, i'd be happy if i could just get out of them once i click them.
But like the few times i can get the turning down part, i get stuck and fall down and people laugh.
Hell what am i talking about, the only tricks i need are Motowhips.
