So at that point, once you've decided that you want to learn a foo-foo-noo, and you've found a good wedge set up, you want to ride up to it just fast enough that you can kind of roll out on top. If you go too fast, you're going to end up off who knows where. So, you want to pick up, you want your front end to be a lot higher than your back end for this trick, because in the stall position you're going to be roughly like this depending. And you want, like I said again, your back wheel right on the corner of whatever it is you're doing a stall on. And, what you want to make sure that you're turned just a little bit. You don't want to turn as much as you do with a tail tap, because it won't allow you as much control on the top back end. So you want to aim the back wheel, lock your brake, and put your back wheel right on that corner and compress in. And turn just a little bit. Once you've compressed your legs and you're turned a little bit, you're like a loaded spring basically to jump back in. And what you want to do from there is you want to look over your shoulder, whatever side it is that you're going to jump back in, generally the same way that you'd spin on flat ground. And, once you're in that position, you look over your shoulder and hop and pull your front wheel up towards you and around. It's a little bit of a strange motion at first, but once you figure it out it's going to be, it's really going to make foo-foo-noos and more difficult stuff possible. And once it's time to take it to quarter pipes, sub-boxes that kind of thing, it becomes more about judging speed and remaining confident. But all the basic elements are still there. So you want to make sure that you get any bad habits that you possibly have, like landing your back wheel below where you're trying to land; turning too much into the foo-foo-noo; anything like that, you want to make sure you get those bad habits out of the way immediately and certainly before you take them to any more difficult obstacles.
