Does anyone know when you go into the undercut? Seen a video today of someone getting into it whilst low which seemed like a good idea.

I get it whilst low, before going to the ramp. Originally I jumped to the ramp, but I think it's much easier to just crank to it with a heel or a heel-toe (I saw someone fall off with the heel-toe. He was just swinging there off his foot whilst his 3 "spotters" fumbled around. Luckily he was completely fine afterwards) :thumbsup:

Cheers - The beta I was given at the time was to move into it after you've got the ramp, with the heel-toe still in. I didn't actually try it for fear of what you just mentioned!

When trying from standing with the undercut I found it okay with a lower toe rather than getting into any heel stuff, though the top sidepull in the ramp was much worse than I was hoping for (though maybe I got the wrong bit?).

Will give it a proper go next time I'm there.

I've fallen off with that heel-toe in there, missed all my spotters and ended up kind of hanging there. Proper freaked me out and killed my psyche for the whole day after that.

Missed all your spotters?

A polite way of saying your spotter tomtom wasn't paying attention.

I might have been there too :whistle:

I'm hoping that using a toe doesn't add too much and eliminates that risk...
Are the top holds okay to finish on?
