Jake. Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hope the link works, let me know if I was any good haha. Bit sketchy but its the first one I've ever landed, so I'm bloody happy. I'm aware I wasn't wearing a helmet, it was in the back of my Dads car which was at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cheers dude, I read my Thrashzen manual a bit and I figured what I did wrong here was to pivot more over the front and release the front brake when my shoulders go past the front axle. It's my old bike, sold it to a beginner who lives local to me, bought an Echo 24" 2011 now, I hope I can do up to fronts on them too. If not I'll be pissed cause I just sold a bike I can do them on haha will find out tomorrow. I wish dude, might try buy that ticket of the bloke in the FS section, or just pop along for the day on Sat if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howvard Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 lean further forward, so when you flick the front out, you can finish on the rear wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sick, nice one dude! Wear a helmet though, get something wrong and you could cave your head on a wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sick, nice one dude! Wear a helmet though, get something wrong and you could cave your head on a wall. Helmet AND gloves in my opinion! I recently went out and bought some because i found it was stupid to do trials without! Screw smashing my head up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 lean further forward, so when you flick the front out, you can finish on the rear wheel Thanks for this tip! Was thinking for the rest of the day how people managed to flick it to rear haha. Luke I would have if I could have, I was bricking it. Gloves too . It's funny cause the only time I actually made an up to front was with no protection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) what's it like to ride there only live 30 mins away but never rode there Edited June 27, 2012 by mongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 what's it like to ride there only live 30 mins away but never rode there Not a huge amount of stuff to do, fun to play on some of the smaller walls. From what I've heard of your riding, it's probably all too small for you haha. Worthing is far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
