danny B Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yep, in the rain. Wasn't vert, but fooooking big. Still need to edit that footage into a vid when I get time yep the problem tha i was having on that day was that the weather was defo kicking me in the balls lol i couldn't get any traction because i was coming almost out of a rut in the mud almost as deep as my tyre and now i fly that tap every time easy lol and it is only just off vert btw but i think anything over 58 in comp situation isn't worth tapping you may as well hook it because it is sooo much more consistant but it is 68 or a little lore but it i huge..

Waynio Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 trials isnt about how big you can go, its about how much fun your having. i have much more fun pushing myself than stood in front of one bloody wall and thinking "this time its going up" id rather relax and be a bit more creative.owt above 60 i knock down before i try tap it, makes more sense, a bit like that Box in japan, take a gurt run at it, and knock it down!!!! me and brumotti were having a right laff wi that box!!!!Waynio.........................

I have some vid footage of you hitting that (i think) was taken may-june time 2006.Its a huge rock, only just off vertical. I remember the first time i rode there with Dan, it blew me away this rock, i just couldnt get anywhere near it, no way no how! I could've been there all day running at it!Dan floats it to rear, an yeah he taps it.He has a couple of huge taps set up in his back garden as well. But like he says, anything over a certain height you then need to change your technique to make life easier for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
