Was going to be my contest entry...but didn't realize that I hadn't declared my trick in time XD
Oh well...
He's learning at this point to shift his weight onto the "gas" and that THAT is the motion that makes him move forward. Yesterday he learned he can make it move but couldn't figure out how, previous sessions were powerwheels free as he learned to isolate the action of that rear paw. I'm going to see if I can put a few of those clips together into a final product once the trick is completely learned ^_^
Looks like a great time.
Did you mark or release right before he jumped out? It almost like he just bailed.
He was released...technically, he doesn't know how to shift his weight OFF yet to stop (the powerwheels only moves when a foot is on the "gas" and they don't coast....they just stop). I was trying to get him to release the gas but he took that as "WHEEEEEEEEE" and jumped off XD
He's still working out the proper positioning. He was freeshaped into getting on and facing forward (which took WAY longer than it was supposed to...he tried dragging the thing, lifting it, and flipping it over to drag first....-_-). Lured and marked into dropping his foot to the side for balance and to push the pedal but it hasn't "clicked" quite yet, once he's there he can stay there and position the foot but I don't think he has the muscle memory to drop his foot intentionally on his own from the seat to pedal area after he jumps on.
We also did a sesson using bells on his foot so he could better learn where it was...another horribly interesting freeshaping session...I now have movements if I ever decide I want to teach him to twerk >_>
