turndowns on dirt
 
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.

premiumbmx2005 11-28-06 04:55 PM

eh, theyre kinda weird. i wait a little as i leave the lip then throw it.

what i dont get is 360's on dirt...i die every time

mott464 11-28-06 05:00 PM

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.

Oh and make sure you level the bike out for the landing unless you wanna fall.

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.

FitRider 921 11-28-06 06:22 PM

Nope. I would have included my sarcasm tags.

haha good ol' sarcasm tags

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

premiumbmx2005 12-05-06 05:03 PM

i find theyre much easier strait than on a hip...i die when i try them on hips.

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

And Gunz, or shall i say FitRider it probly is a lookback but i was trying to show what i meant by sideways, opposed to a straight up and down turndown...Like the sideways ones bahhh forget it.

Gotcha... kinda.

premiumbmx2005 12-05-06 09:03 PM

oo, i see whatyou mean; i get hasseled when when i dont turn them sideways enough. damn style....

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.
