Tom Perkins Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I went on a vinco the other day. And it felt like a mod, it felt so nice on the back wheel. It was weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passy Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I prefer a lower bb rise with a longish frame feels nice on back wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 But to be honest pete you could bearly ride your bike becuase of the isuess so to be honest you can tell what the goes like surley.Nah petes a pro trials rider remember, by his own admittance. He does a 12 foot drop everytime he goes riding, probably just as a warm up for 16'+ drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZero Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) @ali c : You are just the best Ali! guess the great man is you?Well high bb feels good on backwheel but looks gay sometimes....and it's also hard to bunnyhop i think! High bb is just for getting higher not for fun of bike ridin'! Martin Edited November 9, 2006 by SubZero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Anything you ride feels small so you can go biggerThats cause everything you do ride Pete, is small. Bar that one big drop ive seen you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Oh i'm osrry mr f**king expert! What i mean along with Inur is that anyhting you would of rode before is a lower lower down to the eye thus mkaing it much less daunting.I ride better on my own and with people i trust. For 1 have never seen you do the drop gap at the ancour/memorial like i do.Also your trashing every and any threads here! Grow up, be a man and deal with it. if you need to vent, be more of a man and say it to my face on a ride or when you seeing you misis in town. MSN is okay but still uber cowardly. You've killed this topic now...whoo well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) Personally ive not ridden many high BB frames, i dont fine they make much difference in feel, except when it comes to bunny hops and manuals. Cause of the high bb just makes your leverage less, and so your font doesn't come up as well. Sure with practice, you'd get used to it though.P.S - See you saturday Pete Edited November 9, 2006 by Orgun_Donor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I think he's on about the memorial drop gap, that in another forum he made out that it was him snapping his BB on it, even though it was Rich Pearson. Fair play if you have do it Pete, but get a video of yourself, not someone else :wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be doing a nice gap to rail i've not seen anyone do(think a few have done it though). Altho its a shame I cant see Pete try this gap between 2 benches again. Made me chuckle last time.

Orgun_Donor Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 So you mean from the top wall accross the stairs to the other lowest wall? Or are you suggesting you can go from the top wall to the far edge of the grassy area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
