JonMack Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Vimeo Link:- http://www.vimeo.com/3765549 Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload Well, bearing in mind I rode lots in the summer and got no footage I decided I should start filming, so I went out for about an hour and a half today and got some footage which I've put into a little edit for all of you. It's nothing special, I was riding for myself really, to see where I need to improve, but decided to upload it anyway. It's about the 6th time I've been out on the bike this year so I don't think I'm doing too badly, definitely need to ride more to get better bike control again.It's pretty repetitive, because I was mainly practising stuff to front (which has payed off, learnt them on Saturday on 4 pallets, and I successfully did 5 today for the first time everrrrr) but either way, I hope you like it, and try keep the comments positive please guys!

Captain Scarlet Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I thought the aspect ratio was screwed a bit at first, then I just realised how tall and skinny you are. That looks like an amazing place to ride pallets, I love your up to front technique, its very frenchyish.That big gap looked effortless as well.=D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one mate. I want to see you bunny hopping 5 to back soon though. Haha I dunno about that, wasn't very big really, need to push myself more I think, but yeah, up to back on 5 is the next step, Simps was telling me off for not being able to do it earlier I thought the aspect ratio was screwed a bit at first, then I just realised how tall and skinny you are. That looks like an amazing place to ride pallets, I love your up to front technique, its very frenchyish.That big gap looked effortless as well.=DHahaha yeahhh keep the abuse coming it's pretty fun there hopefully gonna keep the pallets coming and build some interesting stuff with any luck. Glad you like my frontie technique, still needs polishing I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 mint riding, my group of ridin buds are about the same level and my front moves are nowhere near as flicky!!on another note, we just discovered a local area to make a similar set-upwas your 'customised pallets' much trouble to make? the angled one made of several bits looks well sturdy!!oh, are the slanted palettes bound together at all? seemed really solid!

We had it higher too, it had an extra cut up pallet in vertically to offer more support.The top 2 pallets on the slanted 4 stack are nailed together (badly ) to keep them together, but most of our stuff is just stacked, not nailed.
