Is it too death?

Recommended Posts

Post a picture of a spot that you want to ride but it's just too big for the skills you have. Obviously needs to be a bit more interesting than just a wall. Maybe you see it has potential but you just don't know what could be done with it if only you had the skills to hit it? Is it too death? Could somebody ride it?

Just need to get some photos now...

Death spot #1 - up onto high ledge and drop off - I imagine it might be a hook, but quite narrow up there, not convinced it is doable. If it is doable it won't ever be for me.

Death spot #2 - probably not that death, just needs a bit of speed and a big hop with enough momentum to keep rolling up. Manual drop off. Certainly not going to tackle it myself anytime soon.

Death spot #3 - not death if you can do it, but I can't. Like to think I might be able to one day. Also bigger blocks left background.

Ok I admit I felt disappointed with my last post in this thread in the could this cause death if tried department, so here's the spots I was more thinking of when titling the thread but have only just got round to photographing.

Please excuse terms used to describe spots.

Spot#1 I'd like to see Sam Pilgrim ride full send, bomb drop from wall up top.

And this trials line at the top in the car park, just take a broom/spade for dog shit and broken glass etc.

Spot#2 various death options, from death gaps, death drops, and stairs-to-steep-death-wall/ramp.

Final spot, a death gap drop onto skinny wall for the pure trials riders.

That death slope thing above, I've seen evidence that it may in fact be TOO DEATH. Kinda. Evidence by omission. Some riders put a video in the UK Trials Riders facebook group, it must have been too death for them because there ware not clips of them even considering riding down it from the top. Iz disappoint.  I imagine it being absolutely terrifying on a proper pure trials bike even if one is a competent trials rider though.
