3829 riders can do it
Leaning into the ledge with your rear wheel perpendicular to the obstacle.
How do it
The tailpress is much like the tap, but can only be performed if the quarter has a sub box or wall to lean into.
1.
Jump as you would for a regular tap, only spinning slightly harder. You should land in the tailpress no more than 180 degrees from your original position.
2.
As soon as the rear wheel touches the wall, catch your balance with your entire body. Use your chain tension to assist you, just like you would when doing a tap.
3.
Exiting a tailpress is easy. Practice pushing into the bike, so that you have enough inertia to perform the exit. Do so with a simple jump into the quarter.
