I've managed to get as far as the 7th obstacle but I want some advice/thoughts on the 4th. I can't seem to find any consistency.
I'm copying the moves used in the vids on the Ninja LB but I suppose what I'm asking is...can someone explain in minute detail how they clear it.
I'm front flipping down, landing the back wheel, leaning back, wheelie most of the ramp, front wheel touches down just before ramp ends, flick forward then back hard again...weight shift center of gravity over front wheel IF I get the height to clear the TNT boxes.
I've never asked for advice on clearing an obstacle before and I reckon I'll pass AM3 soon whether I understand the physics involved in that obstacle or not...but it's driving me nuts lol.
Anyone who bores their family and friends talking in depth about traction, balance and rotational forces ( like me ) please feel free to throw me any advice you got. Thanks![]()
i passed itno advice to give cos i can never finish it again
Try landing on your back tire first but leaning forward with the bike completely horizontal, then flick back and forth to maintain speed while getting enough bounce. This part is hard to explain, but watch how JJ lands on the ramp and shift his weight and hop off all in one motion. Watch very closely. The key is how you land on the ramp.

I've passed the track twice. But everytime I didn't pass it was because I quit at that exact obstacle. So I'm no great help here... Still can't get the hang of it.
I think I try to pass it like explained above, just can't do it right...
its like jhit says, its very precise. not much room for error, obviously. i find it easier to flip over the edge which jj doesnt do so if you havent already, check murdocs replay.
also, not sure if these will help but, try and make that backwheel work real hard, thats where all the power and force comes from so make sure youre getting some 'spring' out of it as you come down (which i think is easier if you flip over the edge). and you might want to try doing that obstacle with the dpad, it seems to be good for clearing gaps.
good luck man its a tough one![]()
Thanks for the tips guys. Nobody faults on it in the vids I've seen so I thought I was struggling on the easiest obstacle in the track![]()
Consistency found!! Just passed that obstacle at 14 faults and a minute and a half![]()
Thanks again chaps, Hitman your advice was spot on.
