I attempt this switch when I feel like my backpackers are about to bite it. Definitely an odd one. I know it's a favourite of Mike S. Check out his Vans edit, he does a few and they're really clear, so maybe check out his foot placement for an idea on them..??Sorry I can't help u on this. Good luck!
Get your X hikers dialed so that you can land them somewhat carved. The pivot itself has to be almost... "light". You can't be grinding the ball of your foot into the peg, and you have to kind of roll your ankle a bit to get out of the way.Some weird dude came up and filmed me riding then found me on facebook (I don't even know) and sent me this video from a few weeks ago when I was tinkering with it. He stayed for one botched combo then walked off but you can see how I pivot pretty clearly. The ride out from the carve is what always gets me.TJ PERRY II
I have a strong feeling that SoCal is going to be making a name for himself in future contests.
I do mine a bit differently than most. I have really big legs and size 13 feet and I can manage to do this link on 4.5" pegs. It's just a matter of placement of the feet and the motions of the pivot. My feet assist the pivot along with the momentum of the bike going around until it's front of me.Untitled from Mark Kuhlmann on Vimeo.
If it helps, my left foot is on the ball whereas my right foot is in the middle closer to the heel.
small feet here. have rode it for like 2 feet and then bars hit. fun to try though
