basher Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 But you cheated in how you measured it, you started measureing from the grass not the curb bit. And its down hill by looks of it but pritty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Dont worry lol hes messing hes one of my mates 16 by the way manLol sound!16 Nice one, can't wait till your next vid! Only thing I can suggest (if i'm allowed) is I noticed that you take away quite far from the edge, try learning to pinch gap and I beleive you could add atleast another 6" onto your gapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its down hill by looks of it but pritty impressive.I know it dose seem like that lol but there was about 4-5 inchs of grass i added on but when you get to the 9ft mark theres about 4-5 inches left over so i put it down as 9ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t33zr Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 thats the most ugly style i ever seen.... but hey... its 50cm more than i can do!! Nice dude...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 If you check the video again you'll see that you gapped further away from where you measured and that you didn't measure from curb to curb properly and that you didn't measure across straight. You did it at an angle making the cap bigger than it is!Fair play, it was big. But don't push it with cheating!Someone hand him a TF tape measure.

Captain Scarlet Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 That is a pretty sick gap Ryan, I never did get how your technique works, it looks so buggered, but it works?Its like you start too far away, but you use it as a run up, damn good.

Alex Dark Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 nice gap...wee bit sad to just show us that...but it was pretty damn huge...about 2ft farther than i can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 That is huuuuge.Technique wise, I think that taking off far away from the edge and rolling gives you a bit of momentum, also going sideways allows you to swing your hips which increases how far you gap.I don't think it looks particularly nice but if thats what you have to do to gap 9ft, then fair enough. I would much prefer do like a 6ft gap really smooth, then do it back to front wheel or something, but each to their own I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact to me, the harsher the better.Actually I may have misunderstood what your on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact to me, the harsher the better.Actually I may have misunderstood what your on about.That's absaloutely true, I can't gap 9ft. But I like to think that when I gap 6ft....I do it smoothly and with style. That means more to me.Different people ride for different ways/reasons, landing harsh or sketchy is completely style-less and horrible to watch IMO. (not that Ryan did).

That means more to me.Different people ride for different ways/reasons, landing harsh or sketchy is completely style-less and horrible to watch IMO. (not that Ryan did).Sound, I used to love riding smooth, and was very good at it even when I could gap nearly 8ft, When you push yourself past that, you do start getting less smooth... I don't know why, but I do get alot of satisfaction out of hearing a loud bang when I land a 9ft + gap, same as when I land off a big drop gap and it makes a BOINGGGG noise A good riders style and technique shouldn't change much according to the size of the gap, mine doesn't change much, just abit more preload, jump/height and more power put through the pedals. I want to watch myself gap Haha what am I clogging this topic for Sorry Ryan Keep up the brilliant riding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 flat gapBut it wasnt a flat gap, you can tell from the clip its down hill.Me think the dude should set up a pallet to pallet gap on the flat thats 9foot and let seeif he can gap 9foot truely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.trial_dude Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 big indeed ,but i wonder if you could do the same if you were on a point of a rock ,because your backwheel is like 2 feet from the corner before you gap ,so it's a bit cheating actualy BUT veryy bigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
