So I'm trying to fastplant / fastplant 180, and it feels so unnatural and it looks lame.
like' why did I take my foot off the bike and put the bike in the air?'
I just cant hop and plant fast enough. Is it somthing you just have to do, or is there a little detail i'm missing?
please embed videos

They do feel weird but doing them alley oop on steep banks feel pretty sweet though

I personally think footplants/fast plants all that look ugly and unnecessary, but they're not super easy, so respect to the people really good at that stuff.

I love a good foot plant , my opinion I think that makes a foot plant look good is hopping and getting in the air before taking your foot off to plant it then plant your foot off the ground and get your foot back to the pedal before your tires are rolling away

I learned them on quarters and roll ins and steep banks and stuff. Just really try to whip the bike upward as far as you can. They do feel kind of awkward to me still but I like them.

Footplants are fun!
Fastplants can be too.

its hard because i have to hop on the curb then immediately hop over a 3 foot bench fast plant that and clear a nice gap. goal is to fastplant to xup can can it.

whenever I foot plant, I take my front foot off. this makes it so all my foot plant spins are opposite, but it's a lot easier that way, for me at least. just get goofy and see what feels right lmao

When people say things like this, it makes me want to film an entire edit of that one trick, and tag them in it.
