Ben Cox Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 taking into account that it was 5 pallets down to one, that gap was closer to 2 foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous_dave Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 thanks, the bike is a woodstock yes, i haven't had it built up for very long.and Ben, i think its a bit more than a 2ft gap, 2ft isnt exactly hard, if you want ill get another video later on today (if rain goes away) to see how far i can get.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowman12 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 When it comes to gaps, everyone seems to think that they can measure with their eyes on here. When you only really know how big the gap was. Sweet little vid there. Keep practicing and get it smoother, then it will be perfect. Adding on to what Alex said, try the gap from 2 pallets, but also try getting up onto the back wheel instead of bash. Basically, do the the same as you have been doing but with less pallets. Keep stacking up the pallets one by one and try getting onto them without using the bash. Try and go straight to back wheel. This will help with the smoothness and will make it look mint. It will also help your back wheeling skills and may even help you learn to tap!I hope you understand that. I know what i mean. I'm not too good at explaining without a visual demonstration.

Trix Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I thought it was pretty good considering he has only been riding trials for 4 weeks.The gap from pallet to pallet was around 5'7, as I lay in between them and I'm 5'5 and there was a couple of inches left...yes the gap is smaller then 5ft from 5 pallets, but I wouldnt call it less then 4 ft. were have to get some measured pallet to pallet gaps on film.

dangerous_dave Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 i can get onto 4 blue pallets to back wheel smoothly (IMO) and i have gotten up 3 blue and 2 uncoloured ones together (a couple inches shorter than 5 pallets), but the extra couple of inches really do make a difference, once you hit a boundary its quite hard to push that limit.

max-t Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Stop being such nasty c**ts. He's obviously proud of the gap and hasn't been riding long. To be honest thats very impressive for 4 weeks of riding, i know i wouldn't have tried that Good stuff lets see you lower the take off a bit and make it max...
