Problems pumping up tyres!

The Skully method is the trick. I couldn't work a track pump the first time I tried, same problem as the other girls, was basically laying on the handle but it was still going nowhere. Its all about technique.

I think it helps to be a little explosive too. Try to do it slowly, and it's more difficult than slamming the handle down as quickly as possible. A bit like trying to release from Time ATACS*.
