What size is the Oxford spine?  Steep?  If you can get yourself over the new Creation spine, or the charlton volcano thats a good step.

Out of your list, I'd say that manuals and bunnyhops are going to take the bulk of your time.

I'd say that one good session on a decent miniramp would have you grinding  (with the right guidance), and one good session at Rom we'd have you airing a hip somewhere.  Airing undervert stuff like miniramps is very closely connected with bunnyhops, so best stick to first things first on that one   ;)

Might be able to kill two birds with one stone at Rom.  Air some concrete hips then go grinding the indoor miniramp. That's a nice, big, fast ramp. Grind there and you'll grind anywhere   :)

Thanks for the advice dude The spine at creation looks steeper than Oxford and Taller I think.How about a bit of online assement of my technique do I need to air the Creation spine ?
How does this compare to Charlton I have only been there once before I could even ride Oxford   :daumenhoch:

My goal for 2008 is to make the final at the Brits and place top 5 :daumenhoch:  baby will only be 6-8 weeks old by then so may not be realistic but hey, a goal is a goal :)

TwoBobRob:
Fuzzy, you're doing that beautifully smooth.  You are turning the wrong way - but right now smoothness is probably more important.

You ideally want to ride up the spine and add a little opposite way turn. As you go over, that little tweak will set you up for a regular way drop in. If you get me. That technique will see you over any spine.

Next time you're at Epic, take a deep breath and have a crack at their new spine.  Do it early in the session, but only once you've got a good sweat on. I'd say it is steeper and possible a tad higher than the one in your vid. I can't be sure exactly. But you look ready for it.

As for Charlton, you'll sail over the volcano there now, no worries. The spine I will leave to your own judgement on the day. It's bigger, but not neccessarily any more difficult.  Most first time people just say 'scary' when asked   :)
