Maxx Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 When you're perfectly on an edge (gap to front) you don't especially need a amazing brake to stop you : the edge stops you ! The brake is just here to stop the wheel from spinning (and stop you a little bit but a lot lesssss than if your wheel was behind the edge). You can see it in the video : 34s and 1mn20s versus 2mn54s 3mn02s Otherway anybody knows how tall he is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 really class riding, any body know how he placed in the uci rounds this year? 5ed every section I wonder what his secret is with that front brake. All the setups Ive tried on bikes with those forward facing mag urbans have felt weird/weak. His front brake is no where near as good as you think, intact when I rode with him it slipped loads. He rams the front wheel right into the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) I can tell its shite. That gap to front when he didnt pin it into the corner had the wheel slip right on. There must be some trick however, it seems a damn sight better than the ones Ive tried. Or hes really pulling that lever Edited December 10, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) To be fair Sam is a really good rider. You you can't compare Pavels level of riding and Sam's level of riding. It's like comapring charateristics between a carrot and chocolate You won't find much the same. For you clever cloggs out there. Execpt the fact the both ride trials. Edit: thats Sam and Pavel not the Carrot. Edited December 10, 2012 by BradJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 You're all laying in to Dave. Yet all he's done is mention that there is nothing special about Pavel's brake, he just commits like a man trying to see his botty hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 The same to you. Im not saying I commit anywhere near as much as he does. He's on another level. Whys it the same to me ? Your going on about his brake must be amazing.. No if you can just get your weight right over the front then your brake will hold. Sorry if you think I'm implying your crap or some thing. Which I'm not I'm just trying to get you to under stand what I'm say. It's about spatial awareness and the best easy for you to see that is by video To be fair Sam is a really good rider. You you can't compare Pavels level of riding and Sam's level of riding. It's like comapring charateristics between a carrot and chocolate You won't find much the same. For you clever cloggs out there. Execpt the fact the both ride trials. Edit: thats Sam and Pavel not the Carrot. Not saying he's not a good rider. Doesn't matter they are on different levels or not it's stil the same technique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
