2 Wheel Technique

The Crew –  You guys were great!

“Teching out”

Mark up on the box

Getting the front wheel up – right foot at the end of a strong pedal stroke, head up, arms straight

Don really gets the front end up!

Cyndi caught in the middle of a perfect power stroke to lift the front wheel

Mike concentrating hard

Mark you need a taller obstacle!

Don – front tire touching down, pedals level, ready to spring up and unweight the rear tire

Don – body moving up, no weight on the pedals and the bike following him up.  Just time it a little earlier and the rear tire will float up there effortlessly

Peter wheelie drops the ladder.  Peter, I didn’t even teach you this!!

Trackstand traffic jam

Cyndi – quiet and strong, finding her sweet spot

Mike finds his favorite foot

Kathy – great position, arms strong and torso over the stem

Hanging out in one spot – why use two wheels when you can get around on one?  🙂

• Tackle narrow ladder bridges and stunts with confidence.
• Handle that gnarly drop off without endoing.
• Trackstand at a stoplight and pedal away smoothly without ever unclipping from pedals.
