Backflip Rotations
Well, ive noticed others doing backflips, easy with a quick rotation, but my backflips are slow, with hardly a chance of making it completely, how can i rotate better?

Re: Backflip Rotations
i felt the same way for a long time but i figured out that the closer your back tire is to the lip of the jump when u pop the clutch and pull back the faster u will rotate. i hope this helps you

Re: Backflip Rotations
Spoiler Alert!!!!
If you are trying to practice for the FMX comp you want to have, go to your suspension and gearing setup:
1) Set the rider mass distribution all the way to .5
2) set rider spring a little bit high
3) set rider damping a little bit low
Setting the distribution all the way back and the increased rider spring will allow you rto get a better pull off the lip. Mess with the settings, the results can be quite interesting. You also want the mass distribution @ .5 for sick whips. if it is less the whips are too fast and you end up whipping multiple times, rarely ending in a smooth landing.

Re: Backflip Rotations
I've heard that some people lean forward because it pulls the bars toward them. I think it's just personal preference.MotosBestFriend88 wrote:Thanks wheels helped alot! but let me ask, do u have a strategyy like to sit lean forward in air or.. know what i mean?
