Bike Mob Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Should be a peace of cake on a 26'2r then... of course...it's much easier to learn on a kids bike / BMX
lock Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 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..
Guest Omega Man Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 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.
Hairy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Just another pic as I am still hyped from the ride

Hairy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 where can we sign up for some of these lessons? Looks good and great fun I will check with Johno if he has a gap in one of the two classes left. gwhite 1
LazyTrailRider Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 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!
gwhite Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I will check with Johno if he has a gap in one of the two classes left. Thank you, learning to jump and land safely is a priority for me right now
Hairy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 The glory behind the pics belongs to MockTurtle :clap:
Hairy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Thank you, learning to jump and land safely is a priority for me right now Don't worry about the launching part .......
gwhite Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Don't worry about the launching part ....... Hahaha... so is the landing the more tricky part then?
Hairy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 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
