How I learnt to jump 15' doubles today
Dingobmxer:
Thanks for the props guys
The video was from quite early in the session and I was clearing them easy at the end and my confidence has sored, I crashed on a similer set at the Sheffield indoor track a couple of years ago and screwed myself up for 10 months as my arm was knackered. so although guys like Bof, Jai and flying Fox were skying them easily this was a BIG hurdle mentally for me :idiot2:
I cannot try new stuff in front of a crowd so my early morning stealth missions are best for me but Mcnulty/Kirk or Blindstuntman are normally with me rather than solo missions
Bof, My phone was fine because:-
A, most of the locals know me and know if I caught them touching my stuff they would end up buried under the start hill and
B, it was too early for the "outdoor cider enthusiasts" to be out of their pits anyhoo :daumenhoch:
:) DINGO :)
RATTY:
I gotta say Mark that it surprised me that you had trouble clearing them, but seeing the vid reminded me just how difficult them doubles are. So big props mate, well done.
Oh and if it was a physce out, it worked :shocked:

Nope :(
I can manual them smoothly at race speed and jumping them is no faster but I wanted to learn to jump them properly and then move on to bigger things
I just had this mental block with them as the run up and jump are scarily similar to the one I crashed on at the indoor
BUT I have them now :daumenhoch:
:) DINGO :)
