dangerous_dave Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 well today I sidehopped of an awkward ledge, it was about 4ft high and sloped outwards by about a foot and a half.it also had a funny top, there were bricks sunk halfway into the ledge so to do it you have to balance on the corners of these bricks and then just do it.im not very good at the sport but I'm proud of myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous_dave Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 we'll get a few more videos later on hopefully, they're still going to be on the phone though so not the greatest quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) I just uploaded the video on youtube its unedited as i couldnt get it on windows movie maker anyways, Ha ha, i thought i was the only one who used to do that! I used to love it, and i remember how pleased i was when i did it off one a foot or so higher than that, despite bending my bars severely i was well chuffed. Keep at it mate, the more you progress the more trials gets fun and interesting.Now you need to work on your pedal hops and dropping off the wall on your back wheel Edited June 21, 2007 by Krisboats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hill Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thats really good, i used to love doing it but then a few months ago i was hopping off a 5ft wall like that really easily and on the last attempt i didnt get the bike far enough away from the wall and totally smashed me rear mech and cassette Just a bit of friendly advice... hop as far as you physically can away from the wall to make sure it doesnt happen to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
