Whats the problem u may have loadsa mates to ride with and measure your improvement by, but were i live i am the only rider so i dnt have a clue i jus wana kno how i am doing, compared to other people. also this thread may give other riders who have been ridin for the same length as me sumthin to aim against?

Cheers matt

Well, their problem is most likely that they don't believe you, because for 5 months of riding that is VERY good (for urban anyhow). Or that they think those accomplishments are "lame" because after 5 months of riding it appears you haven't touched a piece of natural, which many here consider "true" trials riding.

You sound like you are from england, which makes me say you have FUCKLOADS of riders. If you aren't from england, then I'm sorry. But if you are..


Good heights and things, which mean nothing for trials.

 

[BiKe4EvEr]

yea, so you measured wrong. see the topic which explains how to measure!

 

[streetnutter]

the problem is id love to do some natural but there is none near me. And i have improved the way i have because i just practise and concentrate and believe i can do things i did 3 foot today and couldnt believe it but i did it cos i just think wot im doin rong and change it. I like ridin on me own cos there is no pressure and u can concentrate but there is no1 to improve with and watch to get inspiration. All i have done is looked at things and said next weekend im gonna do that and then just keep tryin till i do.

And yes im from engalnd and there is riders i know but are to far to just come out for a ride, there is no local riders i can just go out with for n afternoon ride.

 

[streetnutter]

I just cheked the measuring thread and it looks like i passed with flying colours.
But if your being picky ok i did it wrong the wall i did was 37" so 3 foot 1 inches tall sorry for the mistake?

Cheers for pointing that out matt

umm...how do you do a jap slap without a front touch? :joshers:

 

[streetnutter]

erm i dunno sum1 told me straight to bak wheel is a jap slap so if its not then i can go straight to bak weel no front touch 3 foot

Cheers matt

 

[ascentrek]

is it just me, or are we getting a mass invasion from T-O.com? Its funny how the terms defined on that website depict the people who go there.

You call it "Japslap". I call it: WHoa, I fucking made it! Lets getta beer.

 

[ascentrek]

Oh my, can I have fun with this one too?

I've been ridin for 5 months, I'm only 5 foot 3 and am ridin 26".

Sounds like you've entered the porn business.

Well now. You've just begun. Finish these techniques and check back with us later:

Drive your car 145 mph, backwards
Drink 6 guinness, stand on one hand and sing 'beat it' by michael jackson
720 endo to an olly grab out snitch snatch
remove the decimal point of your drop, and make it 55 foot... oh, and you have to land it smoothly
y-up, z-up, and 7-up

 

[streetnutter]

erm wtf is T-O.com i was talkin to a rider once and i said i hopped to bak wheel and he told me it was called jap slap now i kno it isnt .

So what do u say wen u go straight to bak weel with no front touch?
