Deonn h Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Try not to gap down to the gap , pretend your doing a flat gap , aim for a point you want to gap to on the same level as the wall.That dont really make sence but maybe you will understand.

ilikeriding Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 dont just do a really big one straight away, build it up so your balls get bigger as you go along+ dont pinch gap, seems to make it harder+ dont stay at the top for ages itll make you nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshball Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 dont think at all. that how i do them.literally go up and throw yourself offThats abit stupid because he is asking how to perfect his technique insteed of throwing himself he wants to know ow to do it nicly insteed of hurting himself by throwing himself off.Well i recommend that u asses the gap drop and think if you think you cant do it then dont. Do it when your are good enough.Always focus on the point you want to land on and i always straighten my legs in the air as if i was leaning backwards and then bend your knees as you hit where ever you are going to smooth the landing and keep the recoil through the bike to a minimal.trust me it will work a treat.Echo.joshX-x-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you are not not just taking a massive difference between this one and previous drop gaps you've done. If you think it's out of your league...Don't do it.Get on backwheel. Get to the edge and look at it...You now know what your up against. Get off the bike, Take a minute and get on your bike again, go to the edge on backwheel. Remember, don't rush, be nice and relaxed, make sure your confident and are not too scared to put your full gapping effort in to it.When in the air, keep your eye fully focused on your landing point at all times...DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES. Remember when in the air, pick the bike up, so sort of tuck in air to make the bike higher so that you can gap further.When it comes to the landing, Flick the back end of the bike out and make sure it's going to land on the wall/Kurb. Then when you land on the wall, as soon as your wheel hits the wall, bend your legs and sort of compress the landing by bending your legs and so your arse is as low as possible.Ride off with a big smile...Your done.

Josh you are in no situation to be telling somone how to drop gap the reson being you cant even hop yet let alone drop gap. and yeah if you feel your not ready then dont do it but you have to push the limits at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Drop gaps are fine IMO - but only when people can actually ride a trials bike. No point running before you can walk.If you need to ask then you probably aren't ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Get over here and i'l show you!Lil tips;Be a tad more over the back wheel as when you land forward momentum (sp) will force your front down/you downHold on like fook"Floating" down is more comfatable than kicking like hell and hoping i findon that note too, keep your eyes where your aiming to land and extend/tuck your legs depending how precise you need to be on your landing P.s when will you be over again?Ben.
