ok well mate they arnt hard jsut take a lil bit of practice......
what ya do is on the up ramp carve it as much as ya can and lean over as much as possible and flick the handle bars to the side your leaning so that the front of the wheel is pointing ot the ground and as soon as ya leave the up ramp push the biek out .....away from you thenw hen ya get clsoe to the down ramp bring the bike back straight and up right and ride away....

It actually is'nt as hard as it sounds, like mezza said, carve the upramp as much as possible and lean as close to the ground on the side you wish to scrub about half a foot before leaving the upramp flick the bars to the desired direction, trust me with a big flat scrub they will never feel comfortable but you have to sort of let your body move with the bike. Ok so your mid flight and have the bars full locked to one side, when its time to bring the back end back slam the bars in the opposite direction, this will cause the rear end to come back straight, in a case of if your going to land slightly sideways twist your hand on the throttle wide open before landing, u will notice by watching bubba that half of the scrubs he does he doesnt land perfectly straight but you can hear the bike screaming its tits off before he lands, this will also help with forward drive ratehr than having all of your suspension soke up the landing and coming to a near stop.

Hope it helped

i recon scrubing looks so mad havent been game to try it yet thow bubba does it so god ay.

everyone is spot on. its not hard at all just takes time, my advice would be to not lean with the bike. i prefer to stay almost upright and push the bike flat about halfway up the takeoff. when there is slide marks from the wheels going up the lip, you know your doin well

Not the best scrub but u get the idea, this is off an 80ft jump and you can see the dust coming up from the top of the upramp so its reasonably low for the size of the jump. Another thing too is to try and keep your bars clicked to the side you are scrubbing as long as possible then as soon as your close to the ground click them back to straighten up, remember scrubbing isn't about whipping the back end out its about getting flat and staying low.

Must be doing something right dude,as even alot of pro's cant do them perfect..think Bubba is one of the only guys that can do them "perfect".

Went to try it a few weeks back at baccus...sh*t myself and almost high sided when I landed*rear wheel was sideways*...think I best leave it for the pro's ha ha ha
