Dwayne@Southamptontrials Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 morning all just getting back into riding and looking howmuch things have changed when i used to ride the big moves were like 50" sidehop, 48"tap around 9ft gap and mostly done by the likes of cls, benito and hermance. whats the trials communitys understanding of the biggest moves currently happening? and who by? sidehop? backwheel? gap? and any others, would be interesting to know as im really into the dynamics of trials and looking at various aspects of riders and why or how they go so big, currently studying physics so this goes hand in hand (A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Sidehop: +60 (Damon+others) Taps: unknown but I have have done 53 so I assume again near 60" (TRA/Gilles?) Gaps: Definitely +10 (Tunnicliffe) maybe 11 now? But we don't care for this anymore, it is more the line that goes with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact they seem to be much more popular than taps nowadays, and probably higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I got told last night that Carthys doing 66" sidehops which is HUGE! I've seen Damon do so pretty big bunny hops to back but don't know the measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Taps: unknown but I have have done 53 so I assume again near 60" (TRA/Gilles?) It's funny how Vincent did close to 60" in an old AndyT video from Colorado. I think sidehops have been taken to extremes over the past 10 years, taps haven't changed that much.
