After I picked up hang 5 the steamroller just followed suit.I don't really understand how do you get in to bw hang5 position without brakes?

Backwards Hang 5Hey IGuitar, I think you have the idea now but I shot this for you today. I didn't have much time so I wasn't able to do a very controlled Backwards hang 5. But you get the idea of starting it with no brakes. I didn't use my brakes at all. I am used to hitting my brake to ride out but I was able to get one on film. Hope this can help you and maybe someone else out there. Keep on Riding!
I find backwards hang 5's pretty easy too, start them out as a squeaker without using your brake and find that balance point by focusing on your tire and just holding it, feels much easier than a forwards version where it constantly feels like you're falling forward, or at least that how it feels to me.[/quotMatelot, i learned backwards hang 5s so much faster, because like matelot said forwards makes you feel like your falling forward. even thought your doing the same thing on both (leaning over the bars) it feels safer when your rolling backwards, and when i mastered the backwards hang 5 it made the forward one easy.
Guys, my little vid
