- Welcome back to my class, today's how-to is
"How to tuck no hander".
Super basic trick, a little bit technical,
there's a lot that goes into it,
but it is a basic trick to learn
and it's a good trick to learn.
I love this trick.
(bright electronic music)
Right, where are you gonna do this trick?
Where are you gonna learn it?
What are you gonna do it on?
Basically a good flyout just like this one here,
mellow take off enough, it's flat landing,
basically you don't wanna have one
that has a gap in the middle because
you don't wanna concentrate on clearing a gap,
you wanna learn that manoeuvre.
Talk about manoeuvrings...
Right, I find laying on the floor to get the good technique
of whatever trick you're learning is perfect.
So when you're doing the tuck you can see
you bring in the bars into your lap,
it's not to your chest, it's to your lap.
Put the bars on your thighs so your knees will be
directly behind your forks or on your forks.
That's a good way of doing it, on the floor, put it out.
Good technique, push out, straighten up for landing.
But you can see that your back wheel is gonna drop.
So you're gonna drop like this in the air
so you wanna get a little bit of height
to get that back wheel clearing the ground.
Right, first things first, you're not gonna expect
to just like throw the bars into your lap
and throw your arms out like a ninja,
maybe you are, I don't know.
But first things first, you gotta learn the basics:
dropping those bars into your lap, bringing the bike to you,
bringing it to you.
Just remember, that rear wheel is gonna be low
so you're gonna get that little bit more height
just to clear that wheel, it's important.
So you'd think this technique is a bit like
the progressive one handed, learning.
So your hands are coming off and going back on,
like I'm doing right here.
Fingers are coming off the bars, then going back on.
And you progressively get bigger.
I like to cut that out completely,
get a bit of confidence, commit to it.
So when the bars are in your lap,
you go straight into the crane.
So your arms are straight out, straight to your bars,
straight out, like that, super easy.
You're not gonna miss those bars.
Now you can progressively get bigger from that point,
or you can go super big and just go fully extended,
and come back straight on.
So when it comes to landing your tuck no hander,
it doesn't matter if your rear wheel lands first
as long as your hands are back on those bars,
and you can control that bike when it lands,
and you can ride out.
So when it comes to landing on a bigger jump like this one,
the technique is different, because you don't wanna land
back wheel first because that will end in catastrophicness.
You're gonna land and loop out, not good.
So basically, you got enough time to do this trick,
you can do the tuck, grab the bars,
and you can push the bike forward to match this landing.
Okay so there's two very very common mistakes
that you can do when learning the tuck no hander.
And that is, the first one is pulling so hard on the bars
that you're gonna loop out cause you're super excited
you wanna get your hands off, you pull too much,
and it doesn't work.
You just relax, let the bike go...
When you're going up just take off
let the bike drop into your lap,
and then get those hands off.
The next one is you, going to the bars.
You going to the bars is gonna send you over the bars,
it's not gonna work you're gonna land nose-heavy.
So let the bike come to you, it's all about coming to you.
But it's the same old saying "Practise, practise, practise."
Practise makes perfect.
The more you do it, the better you're gonna get at it.
And you can do it anywhere, you can hop bar,
you can hop tuck, you can hop everywhere.
Right, when you've practised this trick you can basically
do it on the flat, just like this.
But, it's just practise practise practise,
but that opens up a lot of doors,
you can do a flip tuck for instance,
(exhales)
who doesn't wanna do that?
