hmmm, so much for a joke. sense of humour got lost along the way somewhere. he did clear it pretty much every time though so its not that bad heres a couple more pictures of the rest of the sidehop... he wasn't very happy...
picture of my mate dean landing on a wire from a sidehop. i don't know how many of you have seen the pic of benito riding on the marker tape but i think this makes for a new jesus (you have to have seen the benito pic to understand this) here's a picture of him actually going over it this time
that does look a really nice bike but the reason why i was looking at the zona is because the python is probably going to be a bit expensive. it is tempting though
just thort i'd share a picture of me doing a sidehop on 6 pallets. its bar height which is around 38" on my bike. its not a great pic but im more bothered about the sidehop then the quality of the picture
yeah not a bad drop. i never like dropping any height like that. like the others have said, wear your helmet and lower the front wheel more, makes it a bit nicer
yeah backhopping is probly the best to start with. the best thing you can do is keep trying everyday. use little pedal kicks and release the brake when you do so on most of the hops because it keeps the front wheel up in the air more easily. your weight needs to be further back than you'd expect so make sure your not leaning too far forward.
hi, ive got an onza t-bird at the moment but am looking for a new frame soon when i get money. been thinking of the zona zip because it is cheaper than the python, does anyone know the geometry because i havent found anywhere which tells me yet?
