Wing

Wasn't sure where to put this, but it's a weird request. I'm posting this up for Will, who is heading to Colchester as he's doing a demo there. One of his mates, who is participating in the demo has no bars for one reason or another. If you live near, or will be in the area at some point this evening and have a spare set of bars you wouldn't mind them borrowing, could you call Will on 07817789766. Thanks for your time.

When i was learning to bunnyhop i learn to lift the backwheel off the ground first. When setting up: Have the cranks parallel to the ground and angle your feet a little so that your toes point towards the ground rather than the way you're facing. Also, make sure that your foot is placed so that the ball of your foot is in contact with the pedal (the part below your toes). Now to do the actual moevement: at first, shift your weights forward and lift your legs up like you're kicking yourself in the back of the head. Once you get the feel of this, you won't have to exaggerate the motion so much. The next step is lifting both wheels off the ground: For this, you will have to keep your weight in the middle of the bike. 'Crouch down and lift explosively' in order to leave the ground. Lift on the bars to lift the front wheel, whilst simutaneously gripping and kicking up the backwheel with the same principal with the step above. To do a pedal bunnyhop (lift the front wheel first): I found that if you shifted your weight back as you lifted the front wheel, you could get extra leverage to lift the backwheel as you got extra momentum from shifting your weight forwards by exaggerating the motion. I hope this has helped, i've just typed up some pointers that would have really helped myself when i was learning this move. I haven't checked the bunnyhop section on trashzen, but it's probably more useful and i've wasted my time.

Nice vid chris, looks like you've improved a lot. Looks like you've completely lost the mad hops too

Peter is from St. Neots (modrider666 on the forum) There's also a few riders from Cambridge if you're ever tempted to come down this way

I had this problem too, but i didn't need a new lever. I took the old one apart and cleaned everything out, was as good as new

Nice vid, looks like you've improved a lot since i last saw you ride some very nice stacks in there too - good effort!

Looking good Will Suit the pure nicely

Cool vid! Wish i'd gone with you and will now

Sweet, i'm looking forward to this. I'll try and be up for 11.

It's a bit short notice, but me, Craig and Hugh will be riding from about 2.30 onwards.

Sounds good, i might come along for a while in the afternoon

Hey, Anyone up for riding Colwyn bay this friday? I'll be at the station around 2.

If i can get the day off work i'll definately come along

yep, thanks guys, awesome ride. Distinct lack of people, but there was some SICK stuff going down. Oh yeah, i ended up riding on my own.

On closer inspection, you'll find that they are specially hand selected springs from the local mackay's hardware shop, they were more tightly coiled which should make them work more effectively :) I got a set of pawls from my lbs (which will also includes springs), they don't usually stock them so may take a couple of days to order them. If you aren't sending your wheel off, i have a set of pawls and springs you can have for £12 (how much i brought them for) as i no longer own a hope hub.

I don't actually know off hand, but this might be helpful: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....=35813&hl=spoke You'll have to work it out though (Y)

wooo does that mean i have a lift you can backhop? :huh:

I'll be out, so should the other local riders, not sure why they haven't given a reply yet (Y)

Yeah, i will have my bike with me. I'm doing linguistics, although i don't think i get to know what college i'm in yet. yeah should be cool to meet up :(

I'm in the same position, except i'll be at york uni for my first year :)

Listen to Todgeman :lol: Olly, does that mean you have this week off? When will you be in town?
