JT! Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 In the Chit Chat section? Where you're allowed to "chit chat"?But the topics in the riding pics section? Where your allowed to post "Riding Pics"?But JT! is always right... I thought everyone knew that!Nah, just you Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Nothing like this though...Has that middle photo actually been stretched vertically to make it appear higher? His wheels and the writing on the plaque seem to be distorted up, but not in a conventional wideangle/fisheye lens way? If so, f**king megalol.I don't know who the f**k that is in the bottom pic either, but that looks awful.That Benito video and the photos of Vincent Hermance/Benito/everyone from the older Koxx days are the ultimate "Oh no you don't" answer to any "You have to tuck to get any height" thing.

Clownbike Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think people took the topic a little too seriously. I found the topic very interesting! To see how people contort themselves to get up a wall is amazing. OK sometimes there is no need to do it, but when you do get bigger, tucks seem to just happen (thats what i find). I'd like to keep it as i think its almost funny to see how much these guys tuck to stay on a wall! Well done boys and keep it up. NeilP.S. I don't know about anyone else, but i find a tuck will keep my center of gravity low and i'm more stable, then i just stand up.......I guess i don't tuck as much as some people who have their asses shifted well over. But each to their own and we all find different techniQues work for different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Is there a full shot of that?I'm sticking with my original argument, and MarksThat Benito video and the photos of Vincent Hermance/Benito/everyone from the older Koxx days are the ultimate "Oh no you don't" answer to any "You have to tuck to get any height" thing.And where did I say he doesn't tuck? Obviously in places it is completely necessary, however people tucking as much on sidehops as that third picture I posted is complete and utter overkill.

Greetings Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think most of those pics there are silly and don't serve any purpose. But that's no reason to close a topic and if people like it which they obviously do given the amount of replies, keep it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 You go out and do a reasonably big sidehop, get it on film, post it up, and i bet you that you have a tuck. If you don't then you are abnormal !I can't sidehop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah benito doesnt tuck benito does tuck, however benito doesn't post pics of himself tucking on internet forums looking for kids to wank themselves silly over the fact he can get his pedal to his elbow.tucks are needed for this modern style of riding, pictures of them are not. I do think it's wrong to say tucks are not needed, what i'm thinking is that perhaps people have really forgotten what trials is really all about. And really thats navigating a section in the best way possible to avoid putting your foot down and also to have fun while your doing it if that means putting in a tuck the so be it. practicing tucking is silly, learning to tuck is not.

Synergy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 There's plenty of topics about shitty mini's and even shittier f1 crap and they've got nothing to do with trials. Why should the topic be closed just becuase some people don't like what it's about. It's not braking the rules, just don't go in if you don't like what it's about. I've only just been and looked at it. It's not hard you just don't click on it.amenIn the Chit Chat section? Where you're allowed to "chit chat"?as jt said its in the riding section whats the problem.i dnt see the big deal there is nothing wrong with the thread no one is forcing you to look at it. maybe the best idea would be to make it a sticky? so its out the way of the tf users just looking at the daily topics??im sure someone will moean it doesnt deserve a sticky as there is always one."how many forum users to change a lightbulb" springs to mind.

Sneakers O'Toole Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nah it doesn't deserve a sticky. This situation reminds me of my song "Another Day in Paradise". I'm just about to go tuck, into bed!!!! Eh? Anyone??? I've got some mean drummer jokes...Seriously though i think this is all abit drastic for a picture thread.

JonMack Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) This thread has got a hold on me like no other I know it's a bastardisation of the lyrics, but I'm like that Tis better than "got a hold on me believe it, like no other" because that's way too long winded.I'm still a die hard fan of Jesus He Knows Me, such a classic. Lamb Lies Down On Broadway has got me shitting though, so crazy! Edited March 26, 2008 by JonMack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) not everybody needs to tuck...Its just an easier way for people with less 'umpf' to get up a wall. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how you get up it. As long as you make it count by staying up on the wall instead of hopping back off it. and besides, if you close this thread you just know that someones going to make a new one so why bother really? Just don't read it if you don't want to look at pics of people tucking? At least they're posting riding related stuff rather than pointless loser topics just to get everyone kicking off at eachother.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 What the shit happened to bunnyhops?I still bunnyhop. And I don't tuck when I sidehop. I guess I'm just uncool though P.S.

And really thats navigating a section in the best way possible to avoid putting your foot down and also to have fun while your doing it if that means putting in a tuck the so be it. practicing tucking is silly, learning to tuck is not.My thoughts exactly. Tucking is pretty essential to huge sidehops, but I don't particularly relish looking at someones boxxers/crack.I've seen videos on youtube of people doing piddling little sidehops and "getting some monster tuckage". Why? It just makes you look like a retard! If you need to tuck on a big sidehop then fine, but this one was less than 3 feet.I'll see if I can find the vid.
