Prawny Baby Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 So! to all those who care in the slightest, and all those who don't care but have read the rest of the internet and eventually ended up here, I thought it was about time I posted a picture of my current steed. In the past 2 years I've hardly ridden at all, probably less than 10 rides in total if I'm honest. I got hugely fat, and ended up at almost 20 Stone, and basically stopped riding totally for a very long time. This year I've sorted things out a bit, lost a load of weight (3 1/2 st at one point, although slacking a tad now) and started bouncing a bit more often. As a bit of motivation, I took a pic of a wall I managed to tap yesterday, and decided to use it as a reason to post a pic of the steed: Try not to judge me too much, I know it's a pathetic tap by current standards, and the bike is old school, but it simply works, and I love it. So great to be out riding again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Is that one of those old echo frames because i f**kING LOVE those frames and their geo! and thats a pretty good tap im my opinion, i do less than that and have been riding solidly (more or less) for the past two years.

Prawny Baby Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks Dudes, feels good to be riding again for sure Strangely, Gaps and sidehops arn't too bad, admittedly, much shorter / lower than before, but the technique is still there, but taps just seem to have died, so I was pretty chuffed to make the above. managed it about 6 times, and did one slightly larger, but couldn't get a pic. Snap. Snap? snap as in you have a koxx? or snap as in it's going to break? It won't be breaking any time soon, it's been over 7 years since I cracked a frame!What's even more shocking is, there's proof that I've ridden it too!
