Hi, this is Mike, and on behalf of ExpertVillage.com, and in this clip I am going to be showing you how to do an abubaca. Now abubaca is pretty similar to the tail tap and the fufanu, but it is a little bit harder because in this trick you go backwards. What you want to do is go at the ramp at about the same speed that you would doing a fufanu. You are going to set up kind of the same, except this time you do not want to turn at all. You want your back tire to land on the coping, and make sure that you keep your eye on the coping just like you would a fufanu. Make sure that you are leaning back, and then once your tire hits the coping, make sure that you are on your brakes really hard so that you do not slip. Then you are going to gain your balance point and then jump backwards into the ramp, all the while making sure that your front tire is still vertical because you do not want to level out because if your front tire hits before your back, then you are going to flip over your bars. So you want to land kind of with both tires at the same time going down the ramp while pedaling backwards and then just like when you do a 180 you are going to want to fakie out of this trick. So when you are rolling backwards, just turn your front tire and you will start to pivot, and once you get about half-way, you can hold your brakes or put some pressure on your chain. You will swing back around and be going the right way, and that is how you do an abubaca.
