stunt man t Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just bin out in my mates car, cruising round listening to music having a laugh etc... but all i could do is look at building, rocks, rails and think 'i want to ride on that'. I go to work and look at objects around and i think 'i bet i could ride up that then on to that then...' etc. Even when i go on the bus or a car i look out the window for lines and thing i could sidehop or drop gap from and try to remember where it is for next time im on my bike, so i can visit it next time im riding... When i go to work i look at objects in the office and think 'i could gap from that desk, to this one then sidehop up the shelf then gap from that to the counter then ...' Am i the only one who does this? its like im on a constant look out for new lines and things to try riding up and on, even if im not ment to? If not it be nice to no what others think whilst on there travels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 How long have you been riding for? Seems a bit strange to suddenly start doing this and thinking it is weird. I personally have done the same thing since I started riding a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I have this, it gets quite annoying. I even do it when I am driving which can be quite dangerous. If i am on a long journey i normally imagine myself riding beside the car like on a motorway, hopping over barriers and manualling for ages. Then when a bridge comes along I just table top the whole thing or hop the fence like Akrigg did on Earthed 5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Starting to wear off now but when I was younger and had to go to church I used to imagine riding on the stuff they had in there to make time pass faster. There were some really cool obstacles. Priests must be pretty lucky trials riders if there are any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I find that school is much better/funner when I imagine what riding the classrooms and hallways must be like. Imagine doing a demo for your classmates on the desks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Haha yeah I did this when I was younger and still do, I used to get a taxi to school as it was 15 miles away (school funded it) and I would occasionally imagine myself free-running over the bushes/hedges. Eventually that turned to seeing lines, thinking "I could ride that", but when I saw some big things I would thing "That would look cool if Danny Mac/Chris Akrigg/CLS" had a clip of riding it in one of their videos.

dann2707 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I find that school is much better/funner when I imagine what riding the classrooms and hallways must be like. Every single lecture at uni I imagine my self hopping from the top desk to the bottom one by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Got to admit 90% of my time is spent looking at stuff thinking how I could ride it and what potential it has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 It's rider's eye, I think all riders get it, for what ever kind of riding they do. I do it too, I've seen stuff in town I want to do. When this new tyre comes I might just go and do some of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Must be pretty funny when a group of guys (without bikes) are gathered around a wall, bin, bench, whatever and are talking about it while using their hands to mimic a bike too.

TrialsIsHard Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've been eyeing up a (gap to a rock, to sidehop onto a rail) which I could totally nail, for ages now. It mocks me as I drive past it on the way to school every morning, but being in the middle of nowhere it's not hugely practical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride there in the morning, send line, do school, take wheels off for the way back. Hey presto, your bike is now luggage and can go on the bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One morning I will man the f**k up and ride down there, until that morning I will merely glare at it twice a day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
