me, i want to air vert ramps and ice/tooth pick :smitten:
-
riding as always injured with tennis elbow or blown knee caps
getting fed up with it at the mo
poxy kids bikes grrrrrr :(
-
come to creation novice night and re-learn how fun 20's are
-
360 nosepicks (on a mini, to fakey) put me on my arse a good few times this week. Id like to get them again.
Too many tricks are on going but Im trying to get real locked in toothpicks. Ive also got back on to trying framewhip nosepicks. I always give up after not getting very far. I figure that if most kids can do them now without front brakes I really should be able to get them!
-
come to creation novice night and re-learn how fun 20's are
would do but cant get the time to go up there
taking bailee rom sun so hope i can ride as knee is still killing me from the rd rash last week
-
frontbrake tricks are on my list big time
-
Icepicks (or attempted icepicks) always used to jar the fcuk out of my knee. Now it's repaired, I'm interested to know if thats still the case. If they don't hurt now, then I'd like to sort them out. :)
-
if its raining sunday can me and 2mates come to charlton to sesh it with ya?
-
lo rob how was france and did ya hear i crashed doin a 2bob high speed manual lol
forgot to cover the brake :uglystupid2:
-
Jedi - I'll see if I can set it up. Afternoonish session?
Chubs, howdy mate. France was very good thanks, nearly nailed myself in the head with my trials bike - so I had to throw it down the hill unfortunately, so its not looking quite so straight at the mo..... ;D
I did hear about your manual slam, yeah.... hehe..... which hurt more, your knees or your pride in front of the lady?? :D
-
yeah man. would be cool.if its too shite to ride wood outdoors on a mtb :)
-
soon as my new bike arrives I plan to try and stay on it for 30 seconds without collapsing. I haven't exercised in YEARS! :LolLolLolLol:
-
good fecking plan!
-
knees now but pride at the time :-[
now angry as cant ride
-
Step ups!!! :LolLolLolLol:
Seriously I'm trying to get more air when I go over volcanos and jumps - just trying to get the feel for the bike more. Also bunny hops - haven't quite got them just yet.
-
360 Spines and volcanos for me.....
done a few little spines... like corby's...
But they terrify me... i never really had a chance to ride them bitd!!
and everyones try'na get me to do it all the time!! :-[
keep thinking i'll either clip my back wheel on the coping or i'll get it round to back wheel landing and loop out!!
scary...
Whips too... but i'm always trying to learn them..... never gonna get em!! :(
-
after the 24 year lay off Ive been trying to start easy...................and its not :(I managed to nail the old rockwalk last week and me and a mate knocked up a little bunny hop stick,I got to 16.5 " and felt like I was about to die,going for 20"next week,wish me luck :LolLolLolLol:
-
I dont have a specific trick in mind.I dont really want to learn tailwhips or bar spins 'cause they dont interest me.Its a general thing really- get higher on vert,air higher on 1/4's and I want to be able to 'ride' a park by transfering from here to there like the kids do.I was doing quite well at creation until they moved all the chuffin' ramps around.As for vert,I seem to have more off days than good at the moment. ???I did ok on thursday tho' so as Yazz and the plastic population said-"The only way is up!" :daumenhoch:
-
one handed pogo hops
and air out of the coping and to go over that spine thing without hooking up or landing on the flat bottom.
-
No footer nosepicks
smith -270 in (off the peg like a rock walk)
tailwhip nosepick to fakie
-
anything for me at the moment 10 mins rolling about and im in pain
my limitations is just small ramps carving and having a laugh on vert low but building back up.
i have to decide how far i want to go but silly stuffs a no no
sat here this morning im in pain again so not sure if its gym work i need or they are just creamed again
but just being able to ride with my mates will do me .man im so gutted being like this i could scream n cry.truth
-
dan i so know how you are feeling all be it my injury is not on your scale by no means,
but cry and scream yes that is very true
we will have to do tricks with stabalizers on :LolLolLolLol:
-
I was doing foot Jam nose picks last week for the first time cos Im a tool who rides without a front brake now..... :-X stoked on pulling them tho after a couple of trys
-
This morning I am learning to think of reasons why I need boxes of BMX parts all round the bedroom....

Ray.
-
Learning to ride my bike without my bloody knee hurting so much!Ive realised you cant sit and pedal nowadays without your knee ending up in your mouth.Think i need to raise my seat more and i get told its already too high ha ha.
-
mark i do that kinda stuff in private at home then slide the post in when i go to the skatepark
comfort isnt part of the new era which is ashame.
-
New eras a joke eh.I wear a full face and im getting knee pads that are going over my jeans lol.These under jean pads dont feel good enough for vert.Cant wait to get some young lad to take the piss!
fook it,i may even put my Hoffman love bars on.New era would love those...
-
yep cant even rearly get use to the new style helmets realy feel exposed
and they look odd on me i like a peak might even drill some holes new popers and attach a jt racing visor
-
Those skate helmets for bikes are not good,its like not having one on!
Safety has always been number one for me but a full face is not cool eh?I think ive had about 6 knockouts and thats with a full face.I watched Ryan do that 1080 at dew tour,messed his face up big time.I dont get this helmet,pad thing.Why do people only use one arm pad?Whats cool about that.Ive got knee pads on my arms because the pads now seem so small.
-
i wear hench knee pads!! :) :)

-
PK RETRO - Pegstalls and grinds eh? Sounds good :)
Try spending your time learning little baby grinds first. A foot or two long, that kinda thing. Once you've got a couple of them, speed up for a longer grind and slow down for a stall :daumenhoch: Be sure to concentrate on getting your back peg on first and foremost. ;)
-
pkretro,you're soooooooooooo close to doing them dude!
roll on tuesday and if it rain tomorrow....... ;) :)

Thanks for the advice TwoBobRob i do have the problem with not getting the back peg on first. I will make sure i concentrate on getting the back peg on first and start small and work up cheers :daumenhoch:

PK - It's not that the back peg has to go on first, its more that your concentration needs to be on the back peg, the front peg tends to look after itself so long as you keep your bars sraight :)
-
lol@philbert :) :) :)

foookin got one at last!
was walking to the pub the other night and it sprung into my head.
we've got some really rad bins in cov city center, metal and round and make an ace sound when toothpicked, so i'm thinking what else could be done. theres a couple with benches nearby so a gap from the bench to toothpick is one of my favourite lines. then when walking to the pub why not 360 toothpick the bin?!
basically gap from the bench, 180 to toothpick then keep the momentum going and 180 more to get the full 360. must be some precision sh!t going on but thats what i'm all about!
-
looking at her under ya name , i think u still got quite a bit of imagination left Phil !!!!
-
i am currently learning to do the bunny hop, how high do i pull the bars up?
-
i've got all the imagination in the world when i'm with her!
-
i am currently learning to do the bunny hop, how high do i pull the bars up?
depends on high you want to jump
the higher you pull up the higher your hop will be so practise small pull up front then a sharp push downwards u will see what i mean straight away then use your body weight and legs to really gain height then use anything u can lay your hands as a marker to clear on and build the height its good fun :D
hope that helps ya
-
the higher you pull up the higher your hop?/////// ................but my feet fall of the seat.
