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 ;)

-

it is a small step.

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.
-
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
-
I will beat it one day.. it's mad I can quite happily ride into ramps bowl etc, but that bloody spine just freaks me out :'(
Bru :daumenhoch:
stick with mate you'll do it and when you do it will be all the better :daumenhoch:
-
you are destined for greatness dude.
-
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.....
-
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.........

You've called it now Trev - you know what that means >:D

Slow down Flaz the pads are on their way :LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch: posted em at lunch time, lets be carefull out there !!
-
You've called it now Trev - you know what that means >:D
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....
-
well done flaz you trickster,i would like to do one but i just aint got the nuts to go over one, not like opal "ramplegend" fruits, big ups to the phil, was you calling a dog in that park phil or some geezer on a bike?
-
Hang on a minute Quad i am pretty sure i saw you go over the spine at Skaterham ???...................(at least i think it was you)
