Lawnmowerman Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hahaha you pleb. Get a proper chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 ahh, nice to see a full length one on the way. From what i've seen I like your riding, don't know what it is about it, but i like it. Maybe i'll work it out once you get the full one up. Those dismount's of yours could be handy some day though, keep practising!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hahaha you pleb. Get a proper chain The chain's fine, it didn't snap, I'm just literally a pleb Well, it was 'cos my chain was uber slack, I think. Note: Both times, someone said "Your chain looks ultra slack." Both times I try doing a gap after, I nearly castrate myself.Maybe riding alone, or getting Mat or Ben to stfu is a better option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Ha ha ha, you've got them dialled, onzaboymark signature move??? I think so. i'll be expecting some of those landed in your feature length vid, find a massive drop gap, lean ridiculously far forward, kick into your bars, realise if you don't do something you will die, extend legs, pull frame to bollocks, put feet back on pedals, lean back, land smooth, You should call it the : ridiculouslyfarforwardkickintoyourbarsrealiseifyoudon'tdosomethingyouwilldieextendlegspullframetobollocksputfeetbackonpedals It will be next months sidehop Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'd had a pinch flat earlier on from sidehopping to backwheel in a groove tighter than your mum's chuff, and when I'd put my wheel back in I was slack, and as a result, the chain was also slack So it's all good.'cept for the deathness. But yeah, I'll have to go back and make that gap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 The law of averages suggests I've gotta land a gap at some point if I send it often enough? On the plus side, the 'bails' section's pretty much taken care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Allah be praised for low standover frames ... neat bail dude , quick reflexes . Kind of the sign for an experienced rider is watching how he bails , a good rider will recognise disaster and bail , where a n00b will try to go down with the ship .I will await the video with great interest .

Mark W Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Haha, be prepared to enter Disappointmentsville That's the only thing that's stopped me doing one earlier is just that I'm aware that I'm not that great, but people seem to expect good things.Ah well, we'll see eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell-Bikes Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 lol, ur galsses probably fogged up, thats why u couldnt see the landing so chickened out and bailed.only joking! u could pull a no footed gapor you were trying to fly?!

Mark W Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 please please please dont edit the final video with media maker bails should be a laugh though Unless you fancy giving me Premiere, you're gonna have to deal with it Bongo's vids are all cool, and they're all Moviemaker specials, so meh it took me about 5 minutes and a few approaches to find the link nice evacuation skills there any other vids (old ones?)edit: reminded me of when i was learning taphops... and the fork got fed up Yeah, I saw that in a "bails" vid that we were both in. Looked pretty savage. My forks tend to snap just level with the bottom of my stem. 3 and counting. Woo My cat-like reflexes are hard-fought I properly faceplanted a while back and basically mashed my nose off my face (incl. half my glasses getting lodged in my face. Compound fracture ahoy), so I'm primed, ready for most gaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 actually on the bright side you did 2 quite nice "bails" that could easily have been a face breaker or a baby stopper, ive seen worse cahins snapping up 2 pallets so nice bails!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Williams! Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 even though i always seem to argue with you i cant wait for the video the riding looks like its goner be beasty and maybe your problem is with your preloading! an i bet you will learn when you actually smack the shit out of yoru helmet or your balls go north!

Mark W Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nah, it's just f**king up Like with the pallets one, that was like one out of 6 or so attempts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Allah be praised for low standover frames ... neat bail dude , quick reflexes . Kind of the sign for an experienced rider is watching how he bails , a good rider will recognise disaster and bail , where a n00b will try to go down with the ship .I will await the video with great interest .An even better rider can reailise that he's bailing and still manage to recover it somehow and land the trick. I've landed a gap when a freehub blew up before, and also landed a chain snapping when i was hopping off a rail. I'm not really a good rider though.I'm loving the way your ankles kind of flop about when you land and they don't get hurt, its crazy.
