Hey yer the other day at the skatepark i decided to try a foot jam. And with about 5 more goes i was getting them every time. The only problem is that i cant get back in to the ramp. I can land with feet on and one wheel in facing in (disaster) but i just cant get fully back in.
From what ive herd, i have to keep most of my weight over the tranny. anyway help wood be appriciated..

Your tech looks pretty good.. you just gotta lean morn into the middle, like have your bike on more of an angle facing back in.

here is a pic of me doingone you have to have your eye were you are wanting to go and you have to lean in also it will help heaps if you keep the back wheel over the coping of the quater (it will help heaps)

yer sort of but you need to lean in and look where you want to got and when your learning try keep your front wheel heaps close to the coping so you have more of a chance of getting both wheels back in hope this helps
yeah, bazz1990 has got it

you pretty much gotta fully commit to it, just keep your weight as close to the ramp as possible.
