ilikeriding Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Some good riding there, can see you getting fairly good, perhaps leave on the slo-mo and maybe a little more variation on the moves, bunnyhops, sidehops, front gaps ect...

Maximus Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 hey guy's you devon folk. ok rice riding, this is my view, i think you should get different gearing on your shogun gimp as i looks like its holding you back, you will be able to gap further if you gearing was higher, and would Alex be more comfortable on a 20" don't take that in a bad way i just think you may be able to flick a 20" around with more ease. nice any anywaysthat's what i think any way. do you do any comp riding? its good fun come along.max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikeriding Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) So what tips/hint would you give me to gap further and jump higher?Well blatantly practise, crates helped me alot. Try and bend your legs as much as possible on takeoff, and throw yourself forward towards the bars, it helps to be more comfortable on the back wheel. When youre about to land push your legs out as much as possible but try and keep your arms closer to the bars, it means your weight will be more towards the front of the bike so youll be able to case it moreso but still pull it off.
