hulltrialser Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 ive been looking at all the topics on gaps,taps,sidehops ect and was wondering what is the avarage out there for most people. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minitrialer Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Why don't you do a survey/poll and then get the mean of every-one who asks. That will be the best way to do it, do a seperate one for the new members . Then you can have lots of fun and do cumulatitive(sp?psshh) frequency as well :) .

N.Wood Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 For stock (dunno/couldn't care less about mod :) ) i recon: Static, flat to flat gap: 5.5' Sidehop: 30" Taps: 40" They're my rough guesses anyway. Hard to tell, 'cos for example the gap one, some people can get around the 9' mark, but most are getting just over 6. But begginers are barely getting a foot. So avaraging it out gives a bit of an odd result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiltop Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 yer but the trials forum average becomes a foot higher and two foot longer every time somebody gets the measuring tape out. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I reckon Mods- Static gaps: 6' sidehops: 30" back wheeling(taps bunny hops) 35" Stock- Static gaps: 6' sidehops: 32'' back wheeling(taps, bunny hops) : 38" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon W Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 i reckon the averages are about: static gaps=6ft taps= 38" drops=6ft sidehops=38" rolling gaps= 7ft :) all just rough guestimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 i reckon the averages are about: static gaps=6ft taps= 38" drops=6ft sidehops=38" rolling gaps= 7ft :blink: all just rough guestimates ← I would agree with these guesses, people are pushing the limit all the time now though. People are getting so good so quickly now, its ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Static gap = 6 foot Rolling gap = 7 and a half foot Sidehop gap = 5 foot Sidehop up = cant do that Backwheel (cant tap) = 33inches Drop = 6 foot Thats what I can do ^ Edited June 15, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 just from my opinion, I reckon the above posts are a little bit generous as alot of riders I seem to meet would struggle to tap 3ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) I can lunge the lenght of my bike but im not very good yet. Which is a 26" by the way Edited June 15, 2005 by yoyoyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 On a flat floor, i can 180 gap further than i can forward hop gap. But it's dodge-eeeeeeyyy doing it over a 'real' gap. I dunno,. it's really hard to put avarages on things. If you said like after 2 years riding or whatever, then it'd be a bit more accurate.

thefletch Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 my average Static flat gap: 8ft Front touch: 46" Rolling gap: 10ft Sidehop: 43" Drop: 45" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I reckon Mods- Static gaps: 6' sidehops: 30" back wheeling(taps bunny hops) 35" Stock- Static gaps: 6' sidehops: 32'' back wheeling(taps, bunny hops) : 38" ← The mod ones might be a little low? I'm only saying that 'cos I know I can do more than most of them, and I'm not very good? I don't mean that in a self-depricating way, but I really wouldn't say I was good, but I can 'go bigger' than that? Or are we talking in terms of including everyone from noobs to full-time pros?

JT! Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I can statick gap about 6ft'ish. Still can't sidehop anything worth recording, and not sure about backwheeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 should we all put our highest up and furthest gap and how long we've been riding and then someone can work out the average and average for riding time. right tap 44" (although i can backwheel this high without a tap 2 :- ) static gap 8ft,3 "( we measured lol) pedal 9-10ft (not to sure but its more than i can static) sidehop 35" :"> (although only learnt in last 2 weeks) oh and ive been riding 18 month. and i ride stock.

zoojames Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Guys just wondering, is it really possible to static gap 9ft? I mean thats huge, and flat aswell, I think I was talking to Tunni and he said he was just under 9ft static and he's THE powerhouse of british trials... It makes me laugh when you see peoples msn names such as "9ft static flat gap" when they've been riding less than a year and when you go out with them they can't gap 5ft (Y)" My stats: Drop: 6' 2" Static Flat Gap: 6' 7" Rolling: 7' 6" Sidehop: 27" Backwheel (halfpedal no tap): 5 pallettes/Zebdi 4 pallettes/T-Rex (who knows how high)? Been riding a year and a half, not bad I guess, should be better though! James :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Jack Barnes has gapped 9'8 flat to flat, from rock to rock :- he also recently done the rolling gap in London that Andrew Chai tried, by that newsagent place, done it second time I think.

colly Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 the average rider i would say should be able to do this sidehop up-26'' backwheel up- 30' gap-5.5ft drop-6ft with mods adding a couple of inches onto each, but its hard to do this because alot of people may only ride natural which seperates the boys from the men imo. not saying i do ride natural much (Y) but will be now the summer is here :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
