spode@thinkbikes Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Wow. Drops. So skillful. I hope your wallet can cope with the extra strain your bike is taking. Not to mention your spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Wow. Drops. So skillful. I hope your wallet can cope with the extra strain your bike is taking. Not to mention your spine. yeah i went through a stage when all i was doing was drops. the highest i got was 9ft 2". they get boring. climbing up something and dropping off it. there isnt really much skill involved either. drop arent reallt to good for your joints, wrists and ankles either. me knees starting hurting off drops so that cant be too healthy.

spode@thinkbikes Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Well. I've slipped a disc, chipped my spine and had several other back issues and I'm only 21. Causing yourself unnessary damage, is erm, unnessary. I watched that video with that guy jumping off a Lorry the other day. It's in slow motion and you can actually SEE the whip-lash happening. Seriously. Now, if there is a get up before the drop, I can understand it. And large drop off on to sand or grass is always fun as the ground is a lot softer so the impact is minimalised.

emery Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 what you mean drops are unskillful it aint the hardest thing but trials does involve dropping off stuff like you ride uo to a ledga will you walk off it then so you don't get hurt there better for learning drop gaps and all that basically are something to do and I can get up stuff and go back down but drops are fun. Oh I've been going for about 3 months abd I've done about 6.5ft toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock trials the real sport Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 There not that skillful but you do have 2 have a certain amount of control on the back wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Well, anything in trials is skillful. But dropping off something in comparison to backwheeling a rail is a no brainer. Huge huge difference. I would say the trackstand is harder to master than dropping off something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Yer ok you win :) what so just becuase it's easy you don't do them it's like skating pops are easy but there still something lol And thats like saying oh pops are easy but not compared to ollieing down a 20 set while doing a 360 flip. see what I mean there still a trials thing :P toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
