Thew, & Anyone else that does this SUCKS!!!
I just tried the whole switchback on the tank, then jump to a skitch.....hahahha, it ended up a switchback to a grab on the side to a crash in the ditch, lol. Thew was the first person I saw doing this I'm sure a lot of yall do, probably Aaron from Geared UP does too, any one of you that can pull it off sucks, lol, I'm jealous. After getting up after the first one I tried it again, This time, my leg got sucked up in the rear tire about 50mph and put the bike to a LEG BURNING stopp fast, lol. After the burns heal up I'm going to try it again.
Any Advice????? It's like I'm not getting all the way straight when I get back there, I'm getting on the right side causing the bike to sway. I took one to the ditch yesterday doing the whole suicide/slide thing (the sick trick at stuntwars this past year). Pretty funny videos, lol, I wish I knew how to post them.

Thew is a pimp man....He lives right by me and i talk to him sometimes and everytime i watch 1096 video im like WTF how did he do that haha! Gorka is the same way he is a pimp too....Them both being on a team is crazy **** if you ask me. I have no idea how to do this trick nor would i try it right now but hell if Gorka says thew's insane than he really is. Gorka is just as crazy from what i have ever seen. Oh well sorry for the pointless post just telling it how i think it is.....

My boy Daniel tried doing these a couple of times and had the same problem you did, not getting around far enough. He tried to save it bith times but couldn't get it straightened out. I think you need to pivot on your hand with your elbow kinda under your stomach. Also try to get all the way around before putting your feet down. Good luck, that **** is sweet when it's done.

Yeah man, Thew's been one of my favorite riders every since the first time I've seen him ride. The crowd loves that stuff, and nobody does his style around here so that's one of the main reason I like it. I want to try a reverse skitch, any idea's on that??? or as Thew beat me to that too, lol.

Kyle is right. Place your right hand on the back seat and rest your stomach onto your elbo. Kick your feet around and wait till yo're behind the bike before putting your feet on the ground. There might be more to it but I try not to think of what I'm doing. It will scare me and I'll crash.
I'll let you know about the reverse skitch.

Crap I guess it's time to go ride before Thew beats me to it, lol. Thanks for the advice bro, I'll try it again as soon as the freakin burns heal up on my leg from being sucked into the tire and exhaust.

Just wanted to comment that I find it amazing that Thew takes time outta his day to explain how to do tricks... The dude is XSBA national champion, former Guiness book of world records holder, and travels internationally doing stunt shows... Yet he still has time to explain how do does his tricks...
Hats off to you bro...
HEHE!!! He is a great guy for sure
