Coaster Chaos

[sweetbeats]

Anyone know the secret formula to bunny hopping kerbs with a coaster and not ending up over the bars?

[hotdog]

  Now that brings back some memories! Practice 'em and you'll suss it out. Maybe have your rear pedal at "twenty to" instead of your pedals level.

[sweetbeats]

Yeah went over the bars yesterday-I was ok but scratched my seat   
What do you mean pedals at Twenty to?
Diagram please 

[brettypeeps]

Normally you have the pedals at the 3 and 9 oclock position (level)
Try with your pedals at the 2 and 8 oclock position this then forces the back foot forward enabling you not to put on the coaster you can fine tune from there and it will become more natural not to move your feet... 

[moley]

Try with your pedals at the 2 and 10 oclock position

Thats impossible!! 

If one pedal is at 2 then the other is at 8 and if one pedal is at 10 then the other is at 4. 

I'm here to help!!

I don't have a fookin clue what you pair areon about 

[brettypeeps]

put you pedals in this position 10 past 8



rather than 9:15

OOps I knew what I meant

That looks insane-don't think I could bunny hop a centimetere with the pedals at daft o'clock

You will adjust te pedal position to something thats suits you sir, but eventually you will get used to not moving your feet.  I always have my forward foot slightly raised to my rear foot,  it is what works for me.

[sweetbeats]

Will have a practice 

[jT Racing]

if your right footed, have your right pedal forward and vice versa.

A friend had a few nasty crashes after he got his coaster brake. It's amazing just how much you move the pedals when doing things. He had to re-learn how to do ariels as he used to come down leaning on the back pedal.
I was trying to do rollbacks at MK and was struggling to get the pedals set in the right place, more practice I think !

i done this myself years ago at my first show with my orange streetbeat at southsea skatepark.
we all went on a cruise of the sea front and all was going well till i tried to bunny hop a curb in front of a full bus and a football game going on on the green.
needless to say my bike could'nt have made more noise if it had tried as it hit the floor so everyone stopped and looked lol.
all i can remember was thinking oh my god i hope non of the lads have seen me.to then be greeted by radman killing himself laughing at me as i tried to ride away with my bars bent more foward than a burner in 84  .

once in the air pull a superman , that way your feet aint on the pedals

Tried a few bunny hops on flat yesterday and it is weird not having the pedals level.....Coaster Brakes....the Silent Killer
