Hart Attack
Chris Denison:
use slider for
slow motion
To
accomplish this amazing contortion, its a prerequisite to be good at
supermen seat grabs.
Working
up to it: When you take off from your jump, pulll your legs and hand
off, grab the grab hole (just like normal) but don't kick your body
and legs far behind (or above) the bike. This time, make a motion
where your head stays low and forward on the bike, not any further
back than the middle of the seat. Work on getting comfortable with
moving your head and torso down and use your hand not to extend and
push the bike away, but to pullyour body up on the bike. When you get
this down good, work on curving your legs behind your back a little.
This will familiarize your body with the feeling of being inverted.
Once your can do these motions, your hart attacks will look like
funny, contorted supermen seat grabs (see pic above). They won't be
full out extended. To work on extension, you must push off with your
hand when in the position described above. As you push with your
hand, straiten your torso and kick those legs high above your head.
While extending your arm, its a good idea to pull yourself forward at
the same time to keep your body above the center of the bike, that
way you won't drift back into a standard superman seat grab. To get
back on the bike, you must pull your legs down while rotating your
torso, and when the legs are parallel with the bike you must pull
your legs back on with the grab hand, just as in a superman seat grab.
