rear brake brings the front end down?

[Sidney]

hey guys.

when you squeeze in the clutch and put the rear brake on while you are in the air it is supposed to push the nose down.


how does it happen??

 

[Suspect]

Its all to do with inersher/ gyroscopic force of the rear wheel.. If you accelerate whilst in the air it will bring the front up..

Thats it in plain english without getting into physics and the like

yep as the wheel stops spinning the force has to go somewhere and it brings the front down, thats why you hear some of the freestyle guys give it a good rev in the air or see the rear wheel lock up, they are just making the adjustment ready for the landing, try it youll see for yourself

well put sus with out a physic's degree thats the best way to put it

Just think: with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The gyro forces need to go somewhere.
