tris Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 rode hastings last week and i bunnyhop, gap dropped about 6 foot long and about 3 foot at my highest point, when i landed it hurt like a frikkin b*****d and i wrecked my wrists. i wanna no why it hurts so bad when you even do a bunnyhop on a trials bike and land on both wheels?? how come bmxer's can drop like 20 feet of stairs and they are fine and dandy?? anyway of reducing the pain??

Skoze Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Either learn to soak up the impact or go rear wheel first Just remember to compress on landing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Man up It's all in the technique - drop the front a little lower than the front before dropping and it should help make things smoother on landing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Bend arms and legs as you land 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 You rode Hastings last week? Why didn't you come down on the ride? Look in the Trials Video section.... i can do a tadd over 5 foot and land on 2 wheels comfortably... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in the Trials Video section.... i can do a tadd over 5 foot and land on 2 wheels comfortably... yea i went down on the friday. didnt know there was a ride on.....would of come if i'd known!! was a good day but i got a puncture and i broke my rear magura towards the end of the day!! home come bmxers can drop like 20 feet of stairs?? no one would ever attempt it on a trials bike!! in chris akriggs brakless he f**ks his wrist from doing a 8ish foot drop, but a bmxer would be fine.... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Woodhouse Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Compression landing an also you'll notice when people do land both wheels flat they hang on the rear wheel at the edge of the drop this shifts the weight back so although you land flat the impact isn't in your wrists.

lil Jsy Chris Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 If you want to land both wheels at the same time i find that it only really hurts if you land on one wheel i tiny bit before the other, if they are both at exactly the same time and you compress when you land then it doesnt seem to hurt as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
