Captain Scarlet Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 chain snaps havnt trusted a bike sinceI think the topic title was referring to things you've done intentionally?My scariest is some of the stuff I've had to do in competition sections, I'm only riding blue/intermediate, but a mediumish drop and a steep hill, combined with a few proud roots, scary stuff to me.

Annihilation Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 The scariest thing I've done is a 5ft drop, haha. You had a choice, either to jump up onto a ledge before dropping, or starting on the ledge, and dropping off. There's another drop next to it, which is taller than me, but I daren't do it. I tried, and my body felt all funny and I couldn't do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Probably dropping off ~3 pallets. I used to spend days getting the courage to do a pedal kick drop off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 One thing that was damn scary at the time was in London a few years back. I rode along one of the wooden rails on Southbank next to the Thames and about 80% along it I nearly lost it over to the river side which was a proper heart-in-mouth, tightening of the guts moment. Would've been a 30ft fall into the muddy waters of the Thames if I'd gone wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Dropping off a wall over some mates. Had done it loads then one time I tried my brake slipped and I had to launch the bike off trying not to hit any peoples. :/ Managed to do it though.

Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 riding my new bicycle along a 90ft wall the width of a brick then droping the end, i must of tried 6,7 maybe 8 times before i did it, i rid of the end, barely lifted and flat landed, but, this was the smoothest landing i had ever done it was emmence. I went all read and oculdnt stop smiling, because that was my aim for the day and i completed it. it was scary because it was the first thing i had tried on the bike and the more i attempted it the worst i got at it lol.

Ali C Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Scared myself a lot last year riding the sea defences at Scarborough. Its really techy with 20ft deep holes scattered around. That was scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Two days ago I was trying to push myself and did a balance line along a wall thing. It's a bit thinner than a standard wall, but is wonky so needed tye placement. It was maybe around 5" max. It was freaking me out because it had a wire fence to the right, and really didn't want to fall on that. Typically I screwed it up the second time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave! Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) The only thing I can think of is the time I backwheeled this wall about 7 brick high, nothing amazing but my brake failed and I whipped out.Landed with both my legs in the flower bed and the rest of me on the floor with the bike entwined around my head. Oh yeah and the time I backward stoppied down a slope by accident, scared the crap out of me! Edited April 12, 2009 by Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitters Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Haven't progressed into any thing fearful yet, although got myself into a spot of trouble trying to ride across a large drainage pipe. It's pretty wide, but it has bumps at each section every 8 feet or so. It crosses a large creek and is about 10-12 feet up at it's highest point and is roughly 200 feet long. Anyway, made it halfway out before my brain started asking me WTF I was doing up there. Lost my nerve and had to walk it back.I'll try it again one day when I get my nerve back up.

Cresswell_d Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Today I did a wall to a street sign gap. It wasnt big (about 5 and a half foot).The problem was the street sign was shakey as jelly.But I did it. After 100 fags, 15 cans of fosters and a bag of chips.It made me really happy and I'm still happy now!DMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
