Post by: SaMAlex on October 28, 2007, 01:11 AM: Yep, but it didnt half hurt when the pedal slipped out!

I always thought track stands were kinda silly ... but Vanderspek could make anything look cool

a lot harder than it looks too....

but that is a good contender....

Post by: kick303 on October 30, 2007, 11:59 PM: what about parachute jumps where you let the bike fly above your head holding a grip and the seat and try not to lose your grip or land wrapped up in it...

i did one of these at warp speed at Knebworth bowl from the top of the snake run...was about 10/11 foot off the ground lost the bike behind my head and picked up the pieces after... oh well RIP ultra burner.

amazingly enough i was ok apart from some nettle rash... oh to be 14 again i just land with a thud now...i used to bounce!!! :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: was this the worst 'trick' ever invented??.......................
Post by: welsh denny on October 31, 2007, 12:18 AM: not sure if you can call it a trick as such but what about that 'move' i think rob petterson did by holding the bike above his head with just his teeth gripping the seat.
i'm sure thats what he did. i'll have to go thru the mags..................................................

Let me add Jumprope tailwhips. When someone did those in a contest, I just counted each jump as a touch. 1....2....3...4.........15.

Post by: Swivel on October 31, 2007, 07:57 AM: Can't remember its name but that trick where you flipped over the bars in front of the bike, landed on your feet then flipped the bike back over your head and started riding it again... I thought that was a bit gay :LolLolLolLol:

That was the same as the scura tuck, but without bringing the bike back over. You just stood there as the bike fell to the floor and said "da daaa". I think it was just cos scott was too small to pull the bike back over his head!

I have done a thousand Freeman flips but the one off the trick ramp was a bit spookier to say the least. I have never seen it on video either so get it on trev.

okay andy, i held back as i know you hated seeing yourself on film, but now i have your approval, watch this space. :daumenhoch:
