Heel Clicker


Use slider for step by step.


use the slider for slow motion
Make sure you are properly stretched for this one!

 When working up to a heelclicker, the motion you will first make with your legs is a no footer. As the bike leaves the face of the jump, make sure your bike is level and do a no footer. This time though, you need to bring your knees up to your shoulders (or as far as you can) Instead of kicking your legs "out" as you would with a no footer, you are going to kick, or lift, them "up". Work on bringin your knees up towards your shoulders and your feet should be lifted above your arms. At the same time, push your body up and pull it towards the front of the bike with your arms.  Keep practicing this motion untill your legs are not only accustomed to this position, but stretched as well.  When you are sure you can do this fast enough with time to spare to get back on the bike for the landing, try bringing your feet together once they are above your arms. It will take many practice runs untill you are comfortable competly closing your legs. Don't forget that your legs can't make a "straight shot" back to the footpegs. You  have to open them up around your arms and then bring them down.
