Tips & Warnings
This is easier on a BMX-style bike, because of the lower center of gravity. It is very difficult on a road bike.
Wear a fitted helmet when maneuvering on the bike. Also wear kneepads, elbowpads and gloves for further safety.
Be careful not to flip over onto your back.

dont lean back!!!!!!!!! when just starting you want to do the opposit kinda crouch over the bars. and as you yank up through yourself back this will give you extra lift
