PK - It's not that the back peg has to go on first, its more that your concentration needs to be on the back peg, the front peg tends to look after itself so long as you keep your bars sraight   :)

Cheers fella in my head its beginning to make sense now i just gotta go and do it now  :daumenhoch:

foookin got one at last!

was walking to the pub the other night and it sprung into my head.

we've got some really rad bins in cov city center, metal and round and make an ace sound when toothpicked, so i'm thinking what else could be done. theres a couple with benches nearby so a gap from the bench to toothpick is one of my favourite lines. then when walking to the pub why not 360 toothpick the bin?!

basically gap from the bench, 180 to toothpick then keep the momentum going and 180 more to get the full 360. must be some precision sh!t going on but thats what i'm all about!

depends on high you want to jump

the higher you pull up the higher your hop will be so practise small pull up front then a sharp push downwards u will see what i mean straight away then use your body weight and legs to really gain height then use anything u can lay your hands as a marker to clear on and build the height its good fun :D

hope that helps ya
