heel-clicker question

[nightmare311]

is there a trick to do one? also how big of a jump should this be tried on?

Stretch before you ride, and what i would do, do no footers, and just keep getting bigger and bigger with them to the point where your ankles are to, or past the handle bars. then just keep going till you click your heels.

As for a jump, I would say atleast 20ft in length, and however high you feel most comfortable with

doesnt have to be the biggest jump guys....its all technique and speed. Heres two pics of me for example:)

Heres what i did, I was HUGE into ground stunting for a year before i started jumping. I would constantly try heelclicker wheelies. Was OK then i started practicing with all fours on the ground and not moving. It gets alot easier once you get the rythem of it going. Just when your in the air jump as hard as you can. Before that just keep trying to bring your feet up first try: Getting your feet close to the handlebars. Then once you get to that point try to get them on the handlebars. Then higher then the handlebars. Once you get to that point just bring your heels close and bring the them together. Its an extremely easy trick once you get the hang of it. Any more questions feel free to ask.

There as big as you see lol, nothing special. The first on is about 7 feet long and thats as much air as i get in that pic, maybe a lil more. And the second one just pops me up its off a near vertical lip and i go about id say 6-7 feet i have a video if you want me to post it.

Just a tip......when you are "clicking" you want to bring your legs higher than your elbows as you wrap around. It makes it difficult to actually click your heels together if you have them lower than that ;)

yup they got it right, its easy once u get em'. Another couple tips would be to keep ur hands on the end of the bars to keep your feet from getting caught on them and also if ur *** it to far back and can't seem to get it to click try preloading harder so you float away from the seat a little farther!

Before I started doing clickers I would keep doing no footers, except each time I went off the jump I would extend further and further up until I felt comfortable enough to bring it around.

The jump I did it on wasn't big at all, it was basically the same as the video posted before. Landing is kinda shaky cause you flat land but it's definately the easiest way to learn. Good luck!
