Hey all im 14yrs old (its says 17 dnt no y?) and ive been doin no footer for 2 yrs now. iI am always findin that when i take off from the ramp and do the no footer im not close to the seat but lauched in the air no footed lol. How Can I Stop this? Plus i carnt seem to get ma feet back to the pegs so when landing my feet thump the pegs? (hope u understand) How Can I stop This?

Ok once ive mastered this trick what trick should i start on next?
Im not afraid of doin them just lack of nowledge and not having the use of big jumps!

Thanks Azza

sounds like your either taking your feet off to quick and bein booted by the bike or your jumping to much, try to just put your feet outwards first without moving up

[250rider]

wat i done when i was learning no footers is do a one footer with ya right leg then with ya left then when ya go 4 the nxt jump just take them both of like ur doin a one footer just with both feet

[250rider]

oh yeah gettin ya feet back on the pegs can be hard wat i try to do is tap the frame before u put ur feet back on the bike this normaly helps gettin ya feet back on the pegs

Thanks for the replys.
I got the no footers pretty much down pat. Now im desperite to try a new trick. What do u guys rekon i should start tryin next?

try heel clickers man, there basically an extension of a no footer, just start workin on getting you feet up towards your head then try and get them around the bars and click

Yer i might try the heal cliker. Ill def have the camera on incase im goin for a stak. I wanted to try a superman but ill probly find it hard to get back to the pegs and i dont think im gettin enough air. I wanted to try no hander than nothing air but i h8 takin ma hands off the bars in the air, i dont feel all that comfortable as i do doin the no footer.
Thanx for the help.

If you dont like taking your hands off the bars, try one handers. Just barely loosen your grip on the bars at first, then a little bit off the bars, and then a little more, and so on with both hands. Eventually, do it with both hands.

hey how big is ur jump??

[patch1234]

yeah mate when i first wanted to expand from the good ol no footer i just started sitting down and doin them! From there i started putting my feet forward more to the point where they were goin straight out in front!! I then just started to lean back while doing this and puttting my head back (with my hands still on the bars!) which is called a coffin!

Then i experimented with taking just one hand off and eventually two which is when the lazyboy was born!!!

And back then it was only of about a 35FT tabletop so u don't need too much of big jump just commitment!!!

Hope it all helps buddy!!
