But the Scrub also looks damn stylish. It is heavier than you would expect, especially if you perform it at race speed. Although you can do the move at a slower speed, you probably won't make it to the landing. Lukas shows you the tricks.
Approach
I already start in a slight curve - this supports the scrub movement. The same applies here: find your best side. The body position is slightly further forwards than with a normal jump.
Airtime refusal
As soon as the front wheel has left the jump, I perform this steering movement even more intensively. The arms generate the impulse, the hips push the rear discreetly outwards. Result: The rear breaks out. Important: Always keep your body upright! Again, make sure you don't hang too far back - come forwards!
Swing on
My eyes aim for the landing. My arms straighten the handlebars just in time. The tail follows this movement automatically. If it's not straight when I land, that's no problem. The momentum pulls it back on track.
Common mistakes:
- Little determination
- Lack of hip support
- Body position too rear-heavy
