I could need a helping tutorial on going over tram rails. In our city I at least have three big crossroads to survive and a lot of times the sections where the rails are straight next to each other crossing my way are in the middle of the road and it would be easy to go over it with little hops or lightweight upward moves with my big 110 wheels and just roll over it. But when there is heavy traffic I have to stay in the bike lane which crosses the rails on areas where curves meet straight lines so there are so many more rails in such different distances to each other that it breaks my rhythm and I nearly die😂 Sometimes I just give up and stop and try to cross where pedestrians can cross. But that often leads to uneven and very bumpy parts combined with weird parts of profiled slabs that are even harder to cross especially if you are slow or even try to walk over it. I don’t know if you know what I am talking about but as I am living in the south of Germany and maybe Berlin has similar crossroads to offer - maaaybe there is a chance you can help with some advice or maybe even a video on this topic. 🫶🏻
I think I know what you mean! Now, I don’t live in German (sadly), so I can’t make a tutorial for this, but I might be able to offer some advice. The danger with tramlines is not tripping, it’s getting your wheels caught between them, so the aim is to roll across the them (at a perpendicular angle), and avoid rolling along side them (parallel). If you roll across them, your wheels should roll over them without much of an issue, as long as you maintain some momentum, especially if you’re using 110s. If you need to use the bike lane, where the tracks bend, you’ll need to keep your feet active to avoid them getting caught, while maintaining your speed. I use a little trick to help me cope with such situations, I call it push-skip-push. Here’s a video that explains how it works. I hope it helps! Stay safe out there! 👍 th-cam.com/video/W65JIFd5uoE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kCTO9Fp3s3xLCzKx
@@RichHayterSkater Thank you so much! Yes i already watched that of course🤓 I also realized that i kind of did these skips but more as a replacement for the crossfoot move. In the next city session I will train them intentionally. And so cool that you mentioned the "active feet". So I know I am on the right way on how I approach them already. That gave me confidence! Now I just have to manage that it doesn´t look like a Charlie Chaplin sketch😅
You are looking great out there!! Keep it up! Thank you for the motivation 👊🏼
Thanks Amigo! Keep rolling! 👊😁
