mikey23 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I was just wondering if anyone has back wheeled onto a rail, then 180ed on it to backwheel and off again. Just with the level of some of the riders in the uk, i thought maybe someone has done it, just i've never seen it before...Probably a stupid topic, but oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 VERY technical move , but would look awesome . Should be possible , just demands astounding accuracy . Felix Mucke , Ali C ?if one man can, its ali Ive seen loads of people have there wheels on two parallel rails, and then 180 and land on rear wheel, but as you said mr hopper, one rail to one rail sounds amazingly hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey23 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I mean as in circular rail, and literally land on it, and turn 180 in one single motion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I mean as in circular rail, and literally land on it, and turn 180 in one single motion..I'll try it on the railway line in a minute, if i can do it on that i can do it on a rail i guess as the train line is both slippery and slightly curved.

JonCongreve Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I know what you mean, as i was thinking exactly the same (i think), and whether someone could. You mean get onto a rail, balance for a bit, then 180 and land on the back wheel on the same rail....? I can do it on a brick thin wall woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Ryan leach does a big railway section on Manifesto looks really cool dead accurate. As for riders in the UK never seen anyone do it would look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Ryan leach does a big railway section on Manifesto looks really cool dead accurate. As for riders in the UK never seen anyone do it would look awesome. Thats almost a challenge I need to get me sidehop gapping the rail lines on film anyway.... f**k it i'll have a go now.EDIT: okay, its really quite hard. I can hop onto the first line then gap to the other, then hop round about 100 degrees, but then i can't gap back. Its suprisingly easy to just twist though as in turn the bike round without hopping... though its easier to pop off the rail.

spode@thinkbikes Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tall_Rob can do it! I'll try and get it filmed on Sunday.I've not seen him do it on anything particuarly high though. I expect he's building up the confidence. But he back wheels it and just chucks it around 180 on the back wheel in one hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah you need someone how can flick the bike round underneath them, definitely Ali C, Felix or maybe Watson could do it...As it is a rail you would need to try it soooo many times...Good topic, nowt wrong with it!Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I dont think it would be as hard as people are making it sound, i think its a lot less insane then sidehopping to a rail, which everyone seems to be doing nowadays..ive done it on a railway sleeper, but that was pretty fat.

I expect he's building up the confidence. But he back wheels it and just chucks it around 180 on the back wheel in one hop.Ive seen it - it looks mega - he did it on the train tracks so it was gap to then turn and back ....but its quite hard and i would say ballsy to do it after uping a rail.

Ali C Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 done it before, not a very high rail though, just a grind one at a skate park. Might get a clip sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQuiT-man Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 well in my opinion its more ballsy, it'd take me a lotta guts to sidehop to a rail, but i used to be able to 180 on the spot on things so i guess seems less scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
