Jake. Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm genuinely up for it, two problems. I'm on the Southern coast. And I'm deaf. If it means I have to travel up North I probably won't be game but if you're serious about this I'll spread the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think you should probably get several riders to do it, I reckon there'd be a pretty big injury/backing out factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 How would being deaf stop you? How fast do you need to be traveling to overcome gravity on that thing? Guiness record territory... get as many riders as you can in a line to go round somthing like that would go down in th anuls of trials history! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyapex Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Leon you are right anyone up for it ? Anyone up for it ? I'll cover travel as long as your not from oz . You'll get free camping a chance to see the whole festival and front row to your de france ! Hopefully you'll get on to and if we've a couple of riders I'm going to set up a full trails course .

LEON Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm gonna guess most people wouldn't attempt it, probably me included, if you don't go sideways enough and hit the ramp on the way down you could ruin your arm for good, or worse. Would you have big crash mats for practice like Road Bike Party? No one's gonna just fly at it & hope for the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think as crazy as I am I'd want to test it in the safest circumstances possible before going at it for real. Wish I had nothing planned and lived closer up north... And gently, because I'm not the best on the phone and he asked to give him a call.

woodyapex Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Plenty of off site practice . Mats too I've done the calcs believe it or not 11 mph is fast enough but at that you be pulling off the top we'd hit it at 17 mph . I've plenty of tractor tires and timber to make a proper event . I think with my full dianize armour on I'm hit it . Fith gear did one in a car double hieght double hieght does not mean double speed it means 4x . Just imagine how high a bmx er gets on a half pipe or quarter pipe . This is 16 ft high and some ramps at 16 ft before they get any air .
