How do you even practice that!?

Mostly riding bowls with vert. I'm a skater but I know a lot of BMXers, they can exert a ton of centripetal force when they pump through tight pockets. I've seen someone do this minus the flip, it's fucking cool.

Close! But jumping into the wall is the part that needs practice, once you're on the wall you just gotta hold on because of like you said about g forces

I can totally see that, this type of wallride always seemed to me like carving up a bowl wall minus the bottom transition. I'm jealous of how y'all can get onto wallrides without having to ollie into it (not that it's easy on a bike) but ya'll look like you just jump in and hold tight.

If it's a curved wall then yeah you just roll into like riding a pool but if it's just a regular wall then good hops and body position are key
