sstein Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Off a very tall building. However if you want to drop safely learn to drop properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgzGU! Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 When I had my t-vee i "wheelie dropped" off 4ft 11 (just over 9 pallets) and it was fine but it all depends on what you feel comfortable doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrex Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 You could drop off anything any height, it's just if you are confident, and the bigger you go the more chance you risk in breaking something, bike or bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 was a very twattish thing to say and constructed with no thought, however he doe's have a valid point, whats the point in having a trials bike that your parents obiously brought for you to ''wheelie off pallets'' seriously a waste of the bike, you could wheelie off a 8 foot wall on a dirt-jumping bike if you wanted to, how about learning how to ride propperly, and quit wheelie'ing off stuff.

The roughness was due to lack of technique, and the couple of times i came off, was due to lack of skill, i.e not being at the correct distance from the edge with pedal stroke etc. If you spend your time practising back hops etc on the ground/on kurbs, youll get back wheel control, allowing you to be much safer up there. Youll also not have to worry about the correct length run up, as youll be able to adjust the run up yourself(as well as alter your front wheel height while holding it on the back wheel). Not only this, but youll be able to make 4 foot drops as smooth as dropping 6 inches at the moment. by learning to get on the back wheel at the edge, lower the front right down, and let the bike roll off the edge(giving it a little kick to get the back end straight down)Everything will become smoother, more controlled, safer, lighter on your parts. and just generally look a lot better.

It only took me about a week to learn how to pedal kick on a 2002 T-Pro, if I had a trials specific bike such as a Zona Zip with proper trials parts on and maggies I could probably learn in a day.
