Ok, I thought this was week I lost my b*llocks.... Not really an excuse, but I still have a lot of neck pains from my slam at Corby a few weeks ago. These are normally little twinges that end up in full pain by the time I get home. Also I'm off on my hols in less than two weeks, so slightly paranoid about getting any sort of injury.
Well I've got peg stalls pretty much sussed. Can pull them practically everytime now. So the next step for me was to do it on the Charlton Spine. Superfly & TwoBob have been telling me to try them for ages. But I never had them sussed enough to brave it on the spine. Anyway, last night on the platform side, I was pulling them perfect every time. But every time I tried it on the spine, I bottled it. Every single blooming time... :tickedoff:
Tonight at Skaterham, there's another trick I always bottle. I've managed to pop out on the vert ramp a few times now, but always bottle dropping back in and end up sliding my bike down followed by myself. Paul Meacher has been trying to get me to do this for weeks now. Tonight he said he was sure I was gonna do it. After bottling it so many times tonight, I finally did it. Nothing spectactular. Didn't ride in or peg in. Just a basic drop in starting with one foot on the platform and easing myself in. Like I say, nothing spectacular, but a big step forward for me. So many thanks Paul for helping me get past one of my stumbling blocks.

cheers guys. it was only a simple thing, but if you've seen how much time i've spent stuck on that platform you'll know how much it means to me.
it's really stupid when you see how easily everyone else does it and i'm still stuck up there ;D

That's another one that's been bugging me for ages too.. I'm hoping if i can peg the spine, by actually being up there might ease a few nerves.

Chris I have exactly that same issue, I can go balls out on my MTB on most down hills and jumps but on a 20" no chance am all over the show, I recon its cruiser time for me :4_17_5:
Nice one on the trick front Trev :daumenhoch:
-
how high is it trev?
-
how high is it trev?
It's only 11ft, so not exactly the heights of Creation or Corby but still high enough for me to have bottled it for so long.
-
11ft is high enough to fall on your head from. add the height of you standing on it and that makes a fair old drop.
-
Hahahaha nice one Trev keep pushin it man :daumenhoch:
-
this is blinding news
well done trev
this is the pace at which anyone who knows you would expect you to progress
onwards and upwards bro!!! :4_17_5:
-
im shite scared of heights and could get on top but really took something to concentrate n pop back in, it does feel good when ya do it, nice one dude :daumenhoch:
-
Trev, was it peg stalls you were doing on the mini at Creation...I think it was and you had em nailed...about 12 smooth ones in a row 8) :daumenhoch:

Yeah. That's the one. I've been doing them for a while now, but they were hit and miss as to whether I'll pull them each time.
Last Wednesday at Charlton I got them completely sussed so that I could pull them almost every time. So at Creation that's pretty much all I did... So I was hoping to peg stall the spine this week, but I bottled it every time.
-
Well done Trev! so peg stalls on vert, 50-50 grinds on the mini's & footplants over the spines are all coming next dude :daumenhoch:
-

Well done Trev! Its always good to hear of people attaining there goals on abike, no matter how big or small the trick. Nice one!
Mine is to relearn nose picks and fufanus on a mini ramp. Used to do them all the time, and now bottle it!

The big question is, did you get over that spine last night?
