hi,
I was wondering how far people can gap. On my Monty x-lite(20") i got a 68" gap(5ft 8") flat to flat. Thats like the most i can do because i almost hit my legs on the bars. I might be able to do more when i get my vitamin frame because of longer wheelbase and shorter back end.
Cheers, Josh

back in the day when i used to measure out gaps and move pallets out accordingly i cracked 2m, whatever that is, 6'7" or somthing.

sometimes I can gap about 5', and other times only a couple. Do you ever have those days when things just don't feel right? I certainly do, most of the time about 5' or so is my limi. But I suck at rear wheel stuff, even on the RAVen 5.0!! I'm getting better and more consistant though on this bike. Very stable and comfortable feeling.

My record is 8 1/2 feet, but normally around 7 1/2 feet..
just keep practicing and it will come- I have only been riding 8 months, but mainly practicing gaps, etc. I ride 20" and 26", and i find I can gap a bit further on my 26", maybe that explains it

I can gap about 2,5 feet and considering that I have rode trials for 2 months, I think it's quite good result.
I think 7 or so? Meh, now i measure how off camber the take-off is.

i stopped doing big gaps, now i've lost it. i could probably do 6' or so. my biggest was a while ago, pretty close to 7'.

my record is 230 CM but I had to hop off backwards, on a good day i should make like 220 pretty constant I think now?

Yeah you could call it that toby........ i wont. :P call it the 5 point exploding heart technique!
actually no thats what i do to ppl who beat me and then they take 5 pedals their heart explodes.

Just to change it a bit.........what about rolling gaps? Never tried any myself, but I'm sure many of you others can do pretty decent rolling gaps....
