Rich Pearson Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 About 8ft off the top of my head, but its not distance thats fun more what you're landing on that makes it cool. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 i agree with mr travis on the forum tape measure.10 foot for example...tunni does 10"4 on his latest vid.9-10 foot is maaaassive.id like to know sizes of natty gaps (off pointy rocks etc). i've seen stan and ali c bust out some rediculous ones.craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_fred Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 gaps to front are most definately the way forward.not sure what i can do on flat, prob about 4-5 inches less than i can do to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Only just learnt so only got up to about 4 foot which is preety dissproportaiate to being able to do 6ft + on flat to back wheel but it will come with practise.And its so true that gaps to front feel so nice especially when you pull a smooth wheelswitch.

26inch Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Do people actually go out with tape measures and measure everything they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 OMFG! gaps to front are amazin BUT only if there NOT to a role. not cool!!i have VERY strong felling about how they shud be done drop gaps to front bakk Do you mean, like hit front and then throw it to the back, rather than hit the front and then kind of roll it through to the back?

Bessell Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 IF what ash saids is right theni can do it about 9-10ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Do people actually go out with tape measures and measure everything they do.Mine personally was just an estimate and a very fair one at that. I very occasionally measure a gap with my feet going on the concept my foot is about a foot long. I gotta say I dont think its cool when people whack out a tape measure for everything Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 fondest memory was tarty doing one in mansfield (i think) and his drilled 321 wheel collapsing. laughed quite a bit that day!Yeah, it was. On Queen Elizabeth school. Hahaha, that was awesome - proper out of the blue . With those 1" hole he used to punch into his rim's it was pretty expected, hahaha...I'm pretty poor at any sort of gaps really, even though i can go a little further to front. Like Ali said, when you get them perfect they feel awesome .Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben@LeicesterTrials Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) i won't lie... im shite at front gaps probably get about 6ft No your not, if you keep practicing them you'll be going huge soon your allready getting about 6 and half foot and you've only been doing them for about a week or something like that.Glad I've gone back stock, can't front gap a mod to save my life Edited January 19, 2007 by Ben@LeicesterTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I tried my new stem and it gaps lovely, only problem is that you have to go a long way up during the gap and it feels like your wrists will explode on landing.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
