had a great day at corby today, all was looking good till billy stepped onto the vert ramp, wanted to ride the resi,
first run ok, tailwhipped it sweet, then pops out and says dad i want to try and pull a flair :)
ok bill go for it, now this is where the shame starts, on the vert ramp with him was a load of pros, simon tabron, zack shaw,
a mirra co rider, a few others and our very own paul meacher, all ripping it, so billy drops in and goes for it :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
first go, not bad BUT the second go :-\ :-\ i crawled away from the vert and made out i didn't know billy, he was relegated to the
back seat on the way home and certainly no ice poles this time ;D
next year can only get better ;)
first go, sweet

and this, in front of all the pros, :-[ :-[ :2funny:

practice makes perfect :)

Yip. Nowt wrong with that, gotta start somewhere :daumenhoch:
No more whips on the resi though - no need. Hard surfaces only ;)
-
Was it busy today Dan ?

billy ignore him, next time leave the old fella at home.

pete, it was fooking hilarious, he really meant it as well, ;D
i'm going to enjoy watching this one progress ;)
-
you gotta start somewhere billy mate ....at least you got the balls to try ..... :daumenhoch:
-
no shame in that. keep at it.
it looks very much like my recent attempt at bunnyhopping up a kerb on the way to the supermarket. :LolLolLolLol:

SAME AS DUDE EVERYBODY STARTS SOMEWHERE :daumenhoch:
-
PMSL, it was lame Billy, but I know you will nail it :daumenhoch: Dont listen to SBD, he is passed it anyway >:D
-
Was it busy today Dan ?
bill, it was busy, but with the new vert ramp and the bowl, it seems so more spread out now, was a really good day,
probs one of my best days there so far, enjoyed watching it all, apart from my disowned son ;D :angel:
the vert boys where a treat :)
-
did the pros give any tips on where he was going wrong?
top work for trying too :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

No shame in that as a first attempt and one thing i've come to know watching Billy and the other Rad young un's over the last 18 months is that it won't be long before he pulls it !!!!!
-
no shame in that. i remember trying flip fakies on radlands vert back in 1993 and looked even worse than billys. 95% of the trick is mental and you gotta be fully committed on tricks like these or the result could be a worse injury by bailing (espec if at height). practice makes perfect and everyone has to start somewhere. i have the footage to prove it in some cases but it'll prob stay in the video vault for now.
even though i've never met billy or been a member of this site for very long i know a good rider when i see one so as they say, the skys the limit.

well you had to look after the bikes back then. it was the bmx bust years. lol.
-
denny thanks for putting that up and well done egg :coolsmiley:
billy has just sat and watched that with me and he's even more inspired
to keep at it ;) so true about kids having it easy today,
i stood at the top of the vert resi with billy yesterday and the first thing i said was
if only we had this when we were kids :( the kids just don't know a mans landing ;)
-
don't let him take the piss billy. You'll nail it eventualy.
-
Billy get the old fella to send you to Woodward for your holidays then you can come back and RULE!

I might do next year, but I want to be able to ride too ::)
-
well done fella for trying, you will have it nailed soon :daumenhoch:
-
we all know what a nutter dennis wingham is ,espec bitd with frontflip and backflip variations. check out prob his first attempt at koc 1991.
/>
so again billy, no shame, just a learning process and 100% commitment. (and balls the size of footballs lol.)
-
I have to confess to laughing when I saw it but good on ya Billy, fook ya Dad he's only jealous because you're twice (at least) as good as he was. ;)
You'll get it in the end, just watch that clip of egg and see how close he is coming after such a short time - great stuff.
I reckon you'll have it before March....now go and don't let me down :daumenhoch:
Daz. :daumenhoch:
-

-
good stuff billy, your always having a go at stuff - keep it up ;)
