Think Bikes Tutorials - 4 - Front Wheel Pivots

[ozmark79]

I've got a KHS hardtail with lockout on the fork. Safe enough for the bike to try these basic moves on?

You have a front brake... That's cheating...

Awesome vids!

Do you need to lean over the handle bars then throw your shoulders? will it feel like your falling off? when i try it i get 150 the the bike handlebars smash into your knees, how do you stop this?

[thinkbikes]

@2012Way handlebars into your knees? Sounds like you're doing something wrong.

After a certain degree of turning you will actually have to turn the front wheel mid-air (which should naturally happen if you're weights in the right place).

Ideally, you should always land straight - so if you're back end is landed 150 and your front end is in the same position as when you hit the brakes - you'll probably hit the knees and your technique is wrong. Watch Andy closely...
