How to Approach a BMX 540 Hurricane

Video Transcript

"ANDY SEEHAUSEN: Hi. This is Andy on behalf of Expert Village, Seventh South Clothing and Ramp Riders Skate Park. In this clip, I'm going to show you the approach and how it's done, what kind of speed you need. When going for this trick, you need to keep your speed a little bit lower than what you would do just to get on to the deck because you're aiming for the coping, you're not aiming for the deck. So, yeah, you just gotta keep in mind how tall a quarter pipe is, how steep it is, and what your run up spaces. Right here, I've got the perfect run up. All I have to do is pump off that wedge back there and just coast up to this thing. And usually, I can spin it, no problem. I don't have to crank or anything like that. So, you just gotta keep in mind what your speed is. If you go too fast, you're going to miss and you're going to throw your bike over to deck. If you don't go fast enough, you're going to struggle to hit the coping and it's just not going to turn out good."
