pinch your seat with your knees so you dont nose dive to your death

Pinch seat with knees. Practice this for awhile. Start pulling one handers. Learn to do one handers with both hands. Then try to do a no hander. Don't try a suicide your first time, thats suicidal.;)

i don't know you do no handers but for no hander landers push your bar forward and you auto pinch your seat...

its killoin me too, i just learnt to clap them.....infront of me :cry: its a step for me... :) at first I could only take them stright up but then i just told myself that im going to clap them infront of me and I did, so I guess you just have to tell yourself, and then do not back down.

its all a mind game
it is one othe easiest tricks out there when u get them
believe me, i thought i would never learn,
i jsut went down to my jumps, only people i didnt know were there so there was no distractions really.
*its easier to pinch with your seat set higher *
as you go off the lip
begin to pinch

look at the 3rd on along, how my knees are pinching the seat and im easying the hands off
pinching keeps the nose up
it also sucks if you miss a pinch
so keep the seat up at about the top of your knees
ease your hands off slowly
just keep them a half in from the bar incase the front end drops when learning how to pinch, you cna grab the bars quicky
the thing is you cant really learn how to pinch the seat properly unless you take your hands off, so if you take your hands off an inch or a half youll get the feeling
hope that helps

Hmm... I heard about trying nothing's first.
Thanx ross, that helped me. It looks like you hafta trick it fairly late into the jump vs other tricks, I guess you need time to pinch?

you sound like i did a while ago when you came to nanaimo the first time. hehe, then i started by getting used to kinda touching my hips, then just did a suicide after. its actually WAY easier than a normal no hander:)
