BradJohnson Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I am a comp rider brad. unless I'm missing the sarcasm here There was no sarcasm, that was the point... drove to Europe and found some amazing things to ride, I'm quite happy with that. Ooh, forgot to mention, i made it to Radfest and back in one piece, and got 6th in the comp, thats an achievement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think my biggest 'riding' achievement the past month would have to be merely coming up with a concept for my GETcreative vid. Now all I've got to do is learn how to ride and film... Hmmm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 i can't talk cause i'm not riding, but it's disapointing to see the word video in the thread title, and there be no video's in 2 pages of post, less spam more videos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 This month? Probably riding in a location I wanted to visit since 2008. Been riding too long to class anything I do as a riding accomplishment, but that would have been the highlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Not trials but just blazed about 20 road miles on my Xc bike with nobblies on. Not particularly fast or an epic distance but after a winter/summer of hardly riding the bike I'm pleased with it. Don't feel too broken either!

BradJohnson Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Bought myself a new frame, thats an accomplishment right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Don't think it's an accomplishment but managed to brake a tyre :L I think, if i'm not wrong there is a wire running through the edge of the sidewall? If not then something is reaaaly wedged in there. Had to put an old half slicked tyre on... Will there be a way to 'fix the old tyre? EDIT - Forgot to put the pictures up?!

ClarkeHutchison Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Today was my first time trying to learn to sidehop to my left with right foot forward as i was told i could go higher this way. It took a while getting used to it. But They were right i sidehopped 41" 4 times today my highest before this was 39" struggling and not consistently. But now i feel going to the left it does not take as much energy and i am sure i can go even higher than 41" consistently. Thats by biggest accomplishment this month.

ClarkeHutchison Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 What! How long have you been riding? I've been riding for around 2 years at the most but on and off. I have just started getting really into it now. Like trying big stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Can I involve my last month of riding?

SamKidney Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Winning. Sidehopped just under bar height on the rear wheel, 8ft gap to front drop gap across 10ft 8 and a half ft static gap 45" rolling up to front 45" side to rear 47" up to rear. And being generally smoother over all! Onto bigger and better things next month with my new rig!

bing Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 finally learnt how to pedal kick properly, instead of booning. with a little help and guidance from dann2707. turns out I had the timing all wrong, watched a before and after video of me doing it. just need to learn how to control it properly now, I'm still a bit rough. anyone who knows me knows I've been struggling to learn this for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
