Bike Mob Posted June 11, 2012 Share Should be a peace of cake on a 26'2r then... of course...it's much easier to learn on a kids bike / BMX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock Posted June 11, 2012 Share of course...it's much easier to learn on a kids bike / BMX I know! The speed needed to clear stuff on the smaller bikes sometimes scare older folk.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega Man Posted June 11, 2012 Share of course...it's much easier to learn on a kids bike / BMXDunno about that. a bmx is a lot less forgiving than a mountain bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyTrailRider Posted June 11, 2012 Share Nice pics Hairy! I've also started biting the bullet and learning to jump big stuff lately, have always sucked at it... That little logged kicker next to the DH hip jump in your first pic is the perfect starter for those a bit nervous, there's absolutely no way you can get into trouble if messing it up. It's freakin' ridiculous how much easier the big stuff is on a proper DH bike, I took a Giant Glory for its 3rd outing on Sunday, the launch below can pretty much be hit flat-out without much consideration with so much bike underneath one. That being said, my brother launches this particular one with so much speed and boost that he bottoms his Boxxer on the (flat) landing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Hahaha... so is the landing the more tricky part then? If you land in a controlled manner on your wheels no. If you land on your face in an uncontrolled manner yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
