How do you jump into the Hang 5? Do you guys push the bars first, then jump, or vice versa? Or is it together in one motion? Cheers

jumping into a hang 5 is that hardest part to keep your balance, there is no real way to explain it, just give it a try or learn them on flat ground first. Its a balance point that you get, once you have it, it won’t go away. That is the sweet part. so once you get it, you got it. Using a steeper fork like the 28mm offset is better for sure. I cut out my forks so its around 24 mm offset, so its really easy, not cheating though. I still get the job done…holla back with any questions, thanks
