Angle of Attack

[Tracker]

I am not sure if this is a technique thing or I have set up my Bocks wrong. When I walking I feel as if I am walking on my heels, Is there a way of ajusting the foot plate angle of should I just deal with it and learn properly?


Cheers Guys

You do walk and jump on your heels when on bocks

Having said that check if the footplate is at right angles to the upright as here

This is a good place to start but most people tilt the footplate forward to aid with jumping (toes down slightly)

I do know of 2 bockers that adjust them toes up and find them more comfy

So long as both bocks (left and right) are adjusted the same it is down to personal comfort

Thanks for that I will just have to have a mess arround and see what suits me.

be careful with those support rods, adjust them wrong and you'll warp the entire frames, try and get used to it at first, then maybe adjust it all later once you know your stuff

Just to change the subject. Was that workington skate park that you posted in your vid for the compertitions.

Tracker - Yeah, that was Workington Skate Park. We went there after the community support officers told him to move away from the granite blocks XD

Gits they have never moved me off there when I was doing Unicycle Trials. I suppose they think because they make a noise they will brake things.

Is there a workington crew out there?
