Hi all,

as you are probably figuring out now, i am still new to mtb, i ride spd's and am seeing that everything says dont use the wheelie manual etc.. when clipped in, im thinking about trying anyway, when i get the opportunity.

was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting a manual down, a normal bunny hop, i can do these but i bring both wheels up together and dont really get much height, i can get travel and they work for small obsticles. oh and sometimes i find the bike tilts to one side in the air, i normally manage to correct this, but not always, and land on some funny angle and the bike shoots of to one side.

wheelies also, i really struggle getting the front wheel of the floor.

i am quite a big lad at 6'2" and 17 stone, so dont know if this makes it harder, and i am also reading through the guides on here, i was just wondering if anyone had a good start point for any of these. thanks

bunnyhop is compress arms and legs pull up on bars lifting the front wheel a slit second before springing up with the legs and lifting the rear

so i shouldnt be to far from that then, i just dont seem to be able to get any height on it,

or when i do i get more height at the back than the front. guess ill keep on trying.

thanks for help.

would it help if i used the force

hey mr whippy! i think you just need to play about with it all and it will come to you! i use spd`s and can wheelie, bunny hop and manual!! i only just started to use flats so i can do some shore..

cheers tom,

i will keep trying, guess ill have some bruises to show of soon to go with the hockey ones.
