i do both but i i mean using brakes and the ebrake. but the ebrake is getting sort of loose. when i pulll it it goes up too high.

If your ONLY using the ebrake and/or some steering to initiate, try slapping the brake pedal right before you initiate with the ebrake. It assists with locking, but also transfers some of the weight forward which helps in getting them locked. If you get your timing right it shouldn't be a problem.


But lastly, I have to say it out loud. If your initiating with ebrake, you are the lameness. It's a shitty way to initiate, even on steep downhills.
