patches Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 ok, Jarek, I found a place for you to attempt your backflip. I was speaking to a guy today that's big into trick BMXing, and him and some of his crazy buddies went to Jozi X (across from the bike park) and were busting back and front flips off a huge jump into an air cushion. That is probably the safest bet for you. There's a big hill to run in from (ensuring adequate speed), the jump has the geometry required for flip tricks, and there's a safe landing option.
patches Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 patches: hotdamn you guys have all the good stuff hahaha! it's to makeup for the fact that we don't have mountains
King_Crispy Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Dude, are you just taking the piss? If those are serious questions I would not be trying to backflip just yet...+1Still nearly p1ssing myself with your chirp.Dangle, also a good one. I haven't even had a beer and ALL you guys are funny tonight (and without the std bickering that follows)
King_Crispy Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Who's driving the ambulance???Let us know when you try...
Moolz Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Make sure no one has a video camera for those flips you dont make...Good luck mate! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw_Im1oIYIw
jarek.pski Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 Ok I think the voices here have been divided pretty evenly I don't care if I've been riding 4 months or 4 years, spines and skulls break just the same. I'll take u up on your offer Patches as soon as I'm back from EU, cannot afford to injury myself now

I'll take u up on your offer Patches as soon as I'm back from EU, cannot afford to injury myself now I hope you're talking about the backflip into the air cushion option... cos I want no part in anything other than that, hahaha!

jarek.pski Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 yeah I meant that... then at some point we get rid of the cushion I'm sure you will attempt jumps into the cushion as well
patches Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 yeah I meant that... then at some point we get rid of the cushion I'm sure you will attempt jumps into the cushion as well haha! probably not! The vids I saw of guys jumping into that cushion, were vids of pro BMXers who can pull off a backflip dirt-to-dirt. PLus I saw the size of that jump ..the thing stands over 2m tall and they're clearing a gap of atleast 8m. Cushion or not... it's still pretty scary! haha! But I will tag along to document on camera, haha!
Edition 507 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 So is this off for the time being? I was hoping to sell you life insurance and a medical aid policy before hand

jarek.pski Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 My discovery started on 1st June so I'm ok life cover as well sowi to dissapoint
missionS Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Normally I don't like telling people what to do and try keep my nose out of their business but I have to give my 2cents on this. Jarek.pski I strongly recommend you to re-consider this attempt of yours. Rather come and join us at the spruit/DHL line and learn how to jump first. Attempting a back flip whether it being on dirt, water or some kind of cushion is no small feat. Seeing a fellow rider go down is no fun
Tumbleweed Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Dude, seriously, can you even jump a bike? I mean, if you struggle to ride over a bridge at the Cycle Park, you are looking for hospital time.
