7359 riders can do it
A rider grabs the seat with one hand and turns the bars through 90° while leaned back, the butt is behind the seat.
How do it
A seat grab with the handlebars turned 90 degrees is rather gauche. The toboggan is elegant and quite the looker. Though making it look good won’t be easy.
1.
Practice on any funbox. The one hand will be basis of the trick.
2.
So try doing the one hand and moving the bike down, turning the handlebars and bending your knees. Do not rush to grab the saddle with your free hand. Concentrate on what you’re doing now.
3.
You should not be leaning away from the bike — quite the opposite, you should be moving the bike forward and upward by straightening your arms.
4.
Complete by bringing the bike forward with your legs and grabbing the saddle. Try to keep your body in the same dimension as you would for a regular jump, so you don’t bring up your front wheel and fall on your rear wheel.
