SkiLLz Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) So i went out today with a few mates and one spent like an hour with me until i learned to pedal hop also known as tap. I wasn't really wanting to do it because it's how my mate died but now i can do it it's so easy and not half as scary as it was when i was practising it. Oh yeah and when i went to show another mate how easy it was my brake pad fell off and the backing snapped off the pad Edited August 18, 2008 by SkiLLz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 You know someone that died from tapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Funnily enough I did my first tap on a mod today too. To be honest it was by mistake and I can do the up easily without tapping, so I guess my timing was bad, but I still like to think of it as a tap.I second the above comment too.

Jason222 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 A pedal hop isn't the same thing as a tap? They're completely different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor lad lost a friend.There are many things that can happen, especially without a helmet. Things like a big drop, my friend once kick hopped off without releasing his back brake, did a front flip and landed to his neck-6ft to your neck can quite easily be fatal (he came out of it very sore luckily).Trials is far from safe, thats part of why we all find it so much fun.
