haha I sure will!

I doubt I will be able to get that high on a cement wall since it has less bounce.

I have only gotten about 2 inches about handlebar height on cement, while that was like 4-5..


edit: why the fuck is there a crease looking thing on the picture. :down:
o well..

Speaking of your bike. I am leaving right now to goto UPS to send your stem.

Read the thing Pancho said in Kamil's topic about touch ups. I tried it like that and it came nice and easy.

quarter pipe...

edit: Also I dont have my finger on the front brake at all, that helps me alot..I have more pics but you can't see the height very well..

... i think that is all i have to say.. i got some major catching up to do, i've spent the past few days riding in my back yard working on gaps.. no run up to practice touch-hops.

get a harder gear, kamil. I seriously think that gear is way to easy, or mine is way to hard. :dunno:

when i got the WI freewheel i decided to go back to 18:12 so i guess i don't have any more options, i haven't been able to get out much this week... and my backyard blows for run ups.. i'm gonna practice alot more this weekend. ./me hopes.

jesus aaron... 43 inches to REAR? You're the best..

I seriously think I've forgotten how to ride.. 4 weeks without a bike and counting.

You live in trials capital of USA, Patrick, how can you go 4 weeks without riding! It was 42in and rubber tire, im sure that helped.

20:17 Is that very hard? That is even harder than my gear (I think, my mind and gears dont udnerstand each other) and I thought my gear was pretty hard!

How is the WI, kamil?

the WI is working pretty good, hasn't skipped yet... i don't think.. i think i'm ignorant, cause i can't really tell too much.. i just assume that i'm getting better, it might just be the extra engagement. who knows!?! better yet, who cares!

Good question aaron.. My damn wheels are still being built up. It took forever for my dx32 to get here and now I'm having a local rider build them for me.. I'm sick of not riding. Making me crazy.

Also, I'm not even sure that my new Try all rim will fit my DeSalvo, which means I would have to wait for the Coos to arrive.. which could mean who knows how long...
