Trikking Up A Curb -- backwards -- yakky style

Try try again, until, yep, backwards trikking up a curb can be done. Sure helped to have a sax coughing at me while I practiced. Nice ending.

going backwards for extended periods of time can damage your trikke

@bjl12346 Darn right you can harm a Trikke that way. I'm on my seventh Trikke and I've busted every one of them more than once. It's what I do.

OK... so how did you get the back to lift like that in the slo mo?

[TrikkeGuy]

By pushing on the handlebars one can lift a leg. Just put your weight on one footpad only, and then push on the handlebar on the opposite side -- that unweighted pad will rise. Takes a lot of practice with timing that pushing to get the wheel off the ground at the right moment. This is the same skill to use to walk up a curb.

Nice work! Your video taught me how to ride up a curb backwards :) You have great skills. Thank you for sharing!

AHHHH... are you on the T12? I was able to get a T8 to pop up on the back today.

Trikkeguy you're a great inspiration for

all the trikkers out there.

I really liked the slow motion part. It helped to see how it was done.
