  1. what is the proper technique for hopping on the wheel from
    the pedals. i dont want to taco the wheel or break my ankles
    doing it the wrong way, but i must learn this. i can jump
    and suicide mount, so getting back on shouldnt be a problem,
    its the gettting on thats hard. help!

  3. Shadow, like Des said, most wheels wont taco by jumpin on
    the. I have never heard of a wheel tacoing from that (I
    dont know if it is just I have never heard of it, or it
    doesnt happen).

    I have a Nimbus (just standard, nothing special about it)
    and it takes it no probs! This is one of the weakest wheels,
    so i doubt anything else would taco.

    To get on to the wheel, I hop with the saddle infront of me,
    then lift my feet up high. I then turn the uni 90 degrees,
    and land on the wheel.

    I hold the saddle at the bumpers. Also, Dont jump too high.
    You want to land on the wheel, and if you jump high, you are
    more likely to jump forwards/backwrads, and come off. Try
    and land with your feet as close into the frame as possible,
    as this will make it more stable.

    That was just my tips, and how I do it. Other people may do
    it different, and have different tips, but I hope it helped.
    REMEMBER: PRACTICE PRACTICE and PRACTICE!!!!!

    Joe,
