Revolver

Last year's DJ ride in portsmouth! That was good fun, hopefully I can go again if there's another one.

You want a smaller bike? Get a 24". It's like a mod, only not a kid's bike.

Naaah, I can't be good. I know plenty of people that shit on me for gaps. All of the guys who I normally ride with, in fact! Haha, but yeah. It turns out I've been riding for like 3 years. I progress slowly because I don't like to get out of my comfort zone, but I'm trying to push myself out of it a bit more now.

If it's as big as you make out, you need more time.

It's actually the other way around. I stare at my landing point thinking GET TO THAT f**kING PLACE and ignore my wheel placement. I know this is wrong because when you watch super-ultra-pros they look at their wheel, and to be honest I should look at my wheel too because I don't 100% pinch gap. YES! I'll try to get better at nearer gaps. Else I'll end up learning how to gap and not how to land! Can't be having that.

And then I've got a second screen with nought on it. It's on wallpaper slideshow though so this isn't my only wallpaper. But look how CLEEEEEEEEEAN IT IS!

Not without taking it off to weigh.

Progress update: Now my wheel touches the pallet, and I can gap sideways a bit. Still not landing on it though!

You could try a swampthing and a thinner tube? I'm using that right now. With a dual ply tyre you don't really need a mighty tube as well.

Cheers, I figured as much so I've tried that way so far. When I do it right I'm facing 1 or half 12 even, but if I point too sideways I find when I set off I turn mid gap and end up closer to 3 oclock. Haha, it's already an improvement, I can touch the pallet when I get it right, and that's without max power or the hip thrust! I'd better stick to it and get them all in at the same time.

I'd better get this angle thing going then! I get the feeling I'd naturally turn to the right, have my front foot towards the gap, should I avoid that? As for TGS... I'm a fan of lines, but I'm not really good enough to do the ones I see, you need some degree of TGS POWER to do lines.

Ok, thanks for that! It's a nuisance knowing this is the best I can manage at the moment, when other guys can gap much further with the same effort. That tyre's a bit weird for pressure. I had a holy roller on last, and it was easy to tell where was right, but with this tyre it's got super stiff sidewalls and it's making it tough to find the place between solid and rimming out.

To be honest, I'm satisfied with the performance of my koxx yellows on a dead grind, so I rarely regrind.

Avoid LBS for trials specific stuff. The two main advantages are, if you do it yourself you get the skill, and if you do it yourself it's free. The bonus reason is LBS do a lot of road and MTB work, and never any trials stuff so it's new to them.

More tips, more tips! So far - Learn to do the angle gap thing everyone else does Preload like I want to pull my joints out of their sockets Violate my stem

Hello guiz. I can't gap for shit. This video is proof. Observe how I put in substantial (for me) effort and fail to make this 6'9" gap I set up. Please to explain what I can do differently. I just hope I can translate it into progress! http://vimeo.com/20902268 It's converting. It'll be done tomorrow.

Krisboats is stronger than he looks, this man can lift rocks that take two or three people to lift otherwise.

I thought we called this 'pigeon'?

Balls. When I went, you had to be careful getting in but all the spots were clear. There was also this fat bloke on a tiny motorbike. It was funny because you knew he'd maxed out the suspension. Poor thing.

THreaten him with extreme, obscene, other kinds of eme, violence.

Cool!

I believe it consumes large amounts of bandwidth as well.

Haha, ok, I'll let you off.
