Ben@LeicesterTrials Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Unlucky, I wheel spined on a drop gap about 4 days ago was of a 7ft wall to a pallet about 10ft the gap was. Me and my mate was just messing around on it, We both knew the wall was quite slippy and he said to me one of us is going to wheel spin soon.But like a tit I said we'll be alright , well I wasn't I was just pre loading to gap and stomped hard on the pedals to gap and I just wheel spinned like f**k, landed front first straight into the pallet. My bike was alright but I sprained my wrist quite bad Still hurts now but should be back to normal after a couple of more days Also I left of the flat when I was pinch gapping before, so thats probbaly why I did wheel spin anyway Lesson learnt.

RobinJI Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Teaches you to run Tiogas! Nah, seriously, they suck majorly. I cant ride in the wet in the slightest with mine on the back, I just wheel-spin on anything and can't trust it.Unlucky about the wheel though, hope the new rim does you better, I think with any rim that would have at least severely flat-spotted it! And an even bigger bugger about the forks, as there a bigger price tag to replace.Good you walked away unhurt though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
