Gaz M Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Nice one, its good to see you can sidehop reasonably high whilst having the bike more or less standard (from what i can see anyway) get some lighter forks and youd find it loads easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Iv just spent about £200 on bars, stem, cranks and bottom bracket :blink: Yeah the forks weigh a tonne, but im hard so it doent matter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom e Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I made it :turned: just at the time the pic was taken, the back end was still being swung to the side (Y) ← your foot is on the wall mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 your foot is on the wall mate ← Yeah, I agree. If you look, his pedal is facing towards the front, so his back foot would have to be behind him, out of view. :turned: If you get what I mean.

Tony Harrison Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I done a 37" about 2 hours after i done that one... ← For god's sake - don't you go to school... "I did a 37" about 2 hours after I did that one..." would be just a bit better. Why say it was 30"? You put a photo up so we could see how high you hopped. Quoting a measurement doesn't make it any better, and says nothing about the technicality of the move. I know you'd like to share your feelings of success, but honestly, if everyone here posted pictures every time they hopped a bit higher then the forum would just be completely flooded. And yes, ditch the tape measures. We all ride, we can all tell (within an inch or two) how high something is by looking at it. Jesus Christ...

Tony Harrison Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 wouldnt you like to tell everyone you have done that high? ← No, so I didn't... To be honest I didn't think anyone would really care. Still, two pages of replies would suggest otherwise - you seem to have received lots of 'well done you's and a medal. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseytrial Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 oh my god!!! lads chill. Those pict are poo in terms of 'would i put it on my bed room wall?' type of thing, BUT, any picture that shows how your style and tech is improving are really boss to see. Thats why I like to make videos. I think its cool to see how newish riders are skipping levels these days. Look at how the lad is going to his front wheel. Remember back when people would just do em to both wheels and often go about 1 foot backwards (Y) Its good that he done it to a skinny wall too. But honestly I think peeps should leave their dads tape measures in the shed. To me it seem a bit pathic carring a tape measure around when riding. But ill let you off it really is the biggest sidehop you have done (Y) adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
