Post by: Flaz on January 31, 2007, 08:22 PM
its a local one, its only about 2 and half foot,  :D   but still scary as fcuk, did a few times tho and if the weathers fine again tomorrow

we didnt have spines bitd,  it amazes me how the bike gets over it   :idiot2:   :LolLolLolLol: 

gonna try and work up  a little bit each time    with the one at charlton as my goal and the volcano at rom   

if you aint never tried one, give it a go it gets the blood pumping for sure   ;D

2ft - 6ft,  all the same technique really!

carve opposite and kick the back out to come in normal on the other side.

flaz  he's ok but still in pain :(  thought he'd cracked a rib but looks like just a hard knock,

he should have rode legacy tonight but he knows he'd be in a lot of pain, fingers crossed for

sunday :daumenhoch:   flaz the vid doesn't show the full impact,  even pat said that was

one the worst slams he'd seen,   still i know he will try it again soon >:D

flaz also go on ridebmx.com and he's on the front page as crash of the day ;)

the one i done is smaller than that   :LolLolLolLol:  but to be honest i watched jimwise go over it aout 6 mnths ago and when i thought about doing it, it turned my stomach  :-[  has bruce since done it ?

two bob told me technically its harder on a smaller ramp  ;) 

but its the bottle  init you gotta not be scared and you cant teach that   :-\

nno. he aint done it yet. not through lack of trying though.
Title: Re: popped me spine cherry today
Post by: Flaz on February 01, 2007, 07:44 PM
Im no expert  but yesterday i did start by just doing what he was doing but only putting 1 foot down  did that about 5 times a little bit faster each time  then nailed it  tell him to try 1 foot? might work worth a try

you are destined for greatness dude.

Post by: TwoBobRob on February 01, 2007, 07:57 PM
I know you have to ride whats presented to you, but if you know of a wider spine than the one you usually ride, even if its higher, it will be less of a headfcuk.  Some of these pissy council park spines that are only 4-6ft wide are bloody horrible.....
Title: Re: popped me spine cherry today
Post by: Trev on February 02, 2007, 12:05 AM
that's got to be on my "to learn" list soon.

it's great to know, that it's not only me struggling with that.

i did the volcano at charlton a while back, but have been there about 5 or 6 times since and not really tried it again.  I did have a half hearted attempt last time, but bottled it.

next time.........

it means you won't let me leave without doing it....


i've been ill all week and itching to ride as it's been dry......grrrrrrr........ i think i'm better now, got a couple of days now to build up my strength for rom....... then ready for the volcano.....

luckily, the time i did it, superfly paul captured it on video i think....  but i'm sure it looks very sketchy....
