Mr Motivator Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I can bunnyhop, jump, ride park and spin my UCI bike just like any other short street bike I have had.Once you get used to it you will be able to do everything you once were able to do on your little bike.

the judge Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Depends what you mean about a uci bike really e.g. a super-long vinco with high bb, or say a 1065 control. I've got a 1065 control and it's still bunnyhoppable and I'm sure I could do quite a lot of street stuff on it if I had the skills. Bucky also rides one of these and he's a street beast!!!! Have a look at this video to see some of his riding (manuals, bunnyhop gaps etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasil Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Thank you for vid...Under UCI I mean something like bb+1 stays 38 wheelbase 1080-1090...depending on fork(1075 official but measure shows these wheelbase) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 get a long bike, you wont look back.I went from a 1010 leeson to a 1095 control, much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 download the new TRA austria video from the video section, those bikes are both around 1100 and they do 360's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 download the new TRA austria video from the video section, those bikes are both around 1100 and they do 360's!Yeah I know. When Thomas Ohler did that 360 up a curb at the start I was all like "what the f**k?" So yeah, you can do the same stuff on a long bike, it's probably gonna be a bit harder to spin and bunny hop but easier to sidehop/gap/tap etc. You pays your money, you takes your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 hehe nice at the end Tomm you pays your money you take your choice iv ridden "street" orientated riding on 1100/1065/1075/1080 wheelbase bikes for the last 2 years its fully possible, just like most people say some of the street moves take more to do, but its possible.Waynio........................

Vasil Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 yeah Ohler's spin is awesome.And I thinkalso a big advantage if you are enough tall to be able to spin the biek easier...Anyway first get to uni and if succes then i will get the frame...I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wana do both and my idea is that if you are not a small guy you can spin bikes easily and look Ohler did that ...I try out long if not works change but that little diference will help a lot at natural and don't think will change much in my street style.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 no T-F, helpful as ever.I cant see why its not possible, aslong as you dont go overkill the stem. ATM I'm running a T-Rex wth a 100 x 7 onza stem, and I'm slowly managing to pick up manuals, My bunny hops are improving. I can do a few streetier things on it. So I don't see at all why it's not possible Try it and see what you think, You can always sell the frame on and buy something else if your not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 It's obviously possible as shown by Joe Maher like I said before.Most will find it harder to manual and gap and such but it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I have a Czar 1100 (long) version and I can spin and manual fine on it. Check out my latest video hereIt doesnt take long to get used to either, but that may have been the case because I am tall, I dunno. Long frames with bb rise are good for everything really, just give them chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
