I have the fender grab mastered, I have the "fap" manuever mastered. However, I cannot to reverse inclines or bunny hop backwards on the back wheel. I did the incline once, unintentionally, but I still can't do it.

Summary: How to reverse incline on your back wheel?
How to bunny hop backwards on your back wheel?

Also, how do people make those cool obstacles where your back wheel gets caught while your front one hangs? When I try making it, it's too wide or too thin. Any preferred objects to use when making it?

I should've posted this in the support forum. My bad.

Na this should be posted here, support is for actual problems with the game

It all comes in time, and probably a plank, it takes a while if you're new to the editor to learn how to place specific object for the bike to hit it right.

What you're talking about is mostly "ninja skill".

What do you mean by braking on an incline?

Like to save yourself from falling backwards? Usually works best when your front tire is touching all by itself. It will brake with just that tire and stop you. But you have to be right back onto the gas so you don't fall.

If you can balance on your back wheel and go backwards, you can do both techniques. I'd get this down before moving on though.

For inclines it's just a matter of figuring out how far back you have to lean in relation to how steep the slope is. It really is incredibly simple once you get it down. Find a spot to practice, and head backwards into the incline holding back 'd try and find one that's not too steep and doesn't curve), if you hit your guy on the incline you're holding too far back, and if you don't make it up the ramp you aren't holding far back enough. You'll have to play with it and find when you need to just hold it back and when you need to feather it so you balance properly, but it's really not too bad. Personally I try and watch my rider's spine and keep it close to the incline and balance based on that distance.

For bunny hopping backwards, you just... bunny hop backwards. Like, literally do the reverse motion of a bunny hop while you're on your back wheel. Instead of leaning forward and going left > right > left, you lean back while you're up on your back wheel (but not too far, we don't want you falling and breaking your neck) and go right > left > right, it's the same idea.

I hope I explained that well enough. I don't actively think of these things when I'm playing because it's muscle memory at this point, so its kind of hard to formulate an explanation without a controller in my hands.

I actually had to watch videos to make sure I was explaining the motion for bunny hopping correctly >.>

I always look at the shaft in the middle of the bike, it should be vertical when hopping, wheeling backwards. Practise is the main key anyhow in all perspective. If you can keep that all aligned anyhow you'll find it'll be muscle memory after all that like the rest of the techniques.
