To bad that there's people in front of the camera in the landing. I guess he hasn't cut out the inner wall in the rear rim and drilled some extra holes to save weight.
When I thought that I've seen it all.... He jumps so f...ng high that it's serious danger if falling. And the taps, the front wheel touches way beneath the edge and he just fly up over it.
Wow, the sidehop where you have to stand on the rearwheel was impressive. When you loose a chain or a break you realize how much you use them without thinking of it. I tried to run without a chain and damn I had to concentrate on not pedalling.
You are not alone. My GU26" is almost impossible for me to pull up in speed when I get it up it goes quite well to keep it there. My inspired is much easier to pull up but I have problems with the sideways balance it's like I can move my knees how much I want turn both bike and bars but I just falls to the side. But after a year of training it starts to go better and better. A little clip of me riding my inspired doing two manuals some other streety moves. About the best manuals I've done so far.
