The Rockwall

For the Rockwall find a flat bit of land away from the busy town centre. You don't want to be bumping into people in mid-flight!

1. At a slow walking pace, set yourself up for an endo.
2 Turn into the endo and get ready to use your hips to twist your bike.
3. Use both of your brakes the whole way through the move.
4. Now that you are pivoting on your front wheel, keep your eyes on the ground in front of you and twist with your hips and lower body until you feel you can't go any further.
5. With the momentum from the twisting endo, look over your shoulder the way you're going to spin.
6. Jump off the floor slightly and twist your whole body.

This second part of the trick may take a while to master fully, but stay patient and be determined.
On landing, use your body to absorb the impact by crouching right down over the bike.


You may find it hard to balance and stay on your pedals on landing. If you have this problem, then either practice and practice and practice, or get on down to your nearest CoBR member and treat yourself to a pair of DMR V8's or better still V12' pedals.
