Jake. Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I made one last night at the bottom of a hill and was the first of my friends to test it on a sledge. I almost ruptured my anus. Nice, how big was it? I made a 1metre high one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Probably about two foot high, but it was on a mega steep hill and I hit it at a lot of speed. The sledge (a wooden one) turned in the air and I landed awkward on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 got about 7" on the floor here, though most of the main roads are clear so I have been able to get to work so far. I would rather there not be any snow though, I wanna ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 My mates car broke down, we started to tow it but... That reminds me, we (me and the mate who also built the snowman) went to an industrial estante in my mate's volvo 360, for drifting I also had a go at holding onto the spoiler whilst he drove, which was fun!

Dan6061 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Danny - Yes it is. Subaru Justy's are soooo good in the snow! They're basically a Suzuki Swift, but AWD. My mate got one for £100, got it MOTd etc, it just chugs along through everything. Drifts well too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 See your photography skills make a dusting look like a lot. It is actually really bad down here, my road is right near the sea and just never gets much... The journey to the office (10 minute drive) took half an hour and 1/3 of the people didn't even make it in. But yeah, a light dusting on the nearby streets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdoku Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 It's not snow anymore here, the ground is ice. You are actually better off wearing ice skates than shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 My usualy 10/15min drive to work took a bit longer this morning. By the time I got off my road, I was already late! Spent 40mins digging my way through. On the way home I was sliding about everywhere, I don't fit in peoples tracks, so the wheels just bounce off the solid snow at the sides and in the middle. Good fun though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthedog Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Iv'e always longed for snow but since I live next to the sea it's never came but this year it came and i HATE it. I can't go out on my bike because it's so slippy and cold and i just got a new one a few days ago I guess people are never happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I can't go out on my bike because it's so slippy and cold and i just got a new one a few days ago I don't see what the problem is. I went riding today for a couple of hours and plan to go out again on Sunday, I am really hoping the snow is still around on Sunday because its great fun! Today I was out on the XC bike but I still don't understand why I keep seeing people complain about going out on their trials bike in the snow. Trials is all about challenging yourself and navigating your bike over various obstacles, snow is certainly challenging and it creates interesting obstacles! *Note this post isn't aimed directly at you benthedog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Well i dunno about other people, but the weather down here makes riding in a straight line a challenge, trying to get enough traction for anything vaguely trials related is nigh on impossible. Getting kinda sick of the stuff, finally managed to get my car to a garage after about 45 mins of floundering around on icy slopes, i either want a foot of it or none.

Surely it's all about just static hops and learning to put down a smooth delivery of power? I haven't ridden properly in years, but I used to love the challenge of different weather. You just have to accept that you won't be going as big as you usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
