niconj Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Took about 100 tries to get this one but I got the hang of it now. Edited December 16, 2016 by niconj 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) I love this sport. Two days ago I tried my first 180°s and today, after not having practiced for two days, I still got better at it. I just have to find a small curb I can land on with the rear wheel and make the spin.

It actually took me only two real sessions to learn it. You have to be able to do a decent bunny hop though. The first session I did everything wrong. Then I had a look at this video. It's in German though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviesdt Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yeah, my German is a little rusty I'm afraid! Looking at the vid and yrs, I think maybe I need to do a short tight manual to 90 before hopping. That sound about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the vid and yrs, I think maybe I need to do a short tight manual to 90 before hopping. That sound about right? It's more about the curve you ride before actually taking off. A 180° isn't really a 180° but rather a 100° or something. What I found incredible is that if you look over your shoulder when spinning, it works a lot better. You also need to yank the bars in the direction you want to spin and then initiate the bunny hop (this coming from someone who just recently has learned to do 180s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it didn't take you much time to adapt to the new frame. Very cool vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the bike it's perfect, just how I wanted it. In terms of adapting it's fine, only got to get used to myself again now. I don't really feel the same on the bike at the moment even if my level of moves are similar the way I am doing them doesn't feel as natural at the moment. Time off the bike has just resulted in work, car, beer. Hopefully now Karl is slowly recovering from his back we will start getting to ride together more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Have you heard of a thing called the UK it's always crap. It more so just changes in how warm or cold it is than dry days. It is all an excuse for @Dman and I to head on our annual jollys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
