Eddy Gordo Posted January 28, 2018 Share Thanks, i won't be riding a Dh bike till july. I'll☺ only get on a bike after 9 weeks to be safe. Just gonna use a trainer in the meantime and keep my fitness up and physio therapyYeah, trainer will be the best option. No impact on the arms from the jarring effect of mtb. Wait so 4 or months then do some road loops or even better hill repeats. Tar will be alot better than gravel. Andrew_Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted February 1, 2018 Share Here my 2 TI plates. Went in on tuesday.i can already move my arm normally and hold a ball in my hand.Looks good - be grateful the growth plate is not impacted. Get well soon - spend some time on a trampoline when you are recovered - will help your falling skills. Mongooser and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirkitech Posted February 16, 2018 Share Bunny hop on a track bike is always tough. Very little thinking done before attempting this!I've never (yet!) ridden a track bike- why is it tough? Is it more tough compared to a road or mountain bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi-h Posted February 16, 2018 Share I've never (yet!) ridden a track bike- why is it tough? Is it more tough compared to a road or mountain bike? yes... its equally simple to pull the bike up with your cleats on any bike, but that's not a bunny hop... This technique is suitable for jumping up a pavement if you're going really fast, but will never allow you to clear a sizable obstacle... a real bunny hop requires a motion where you lift your front wheel into a manual and then launch yourself off the back wheel. Any bike with an aggressive geometry (TT, Track, Road, Gravel, XCO) is hard to manual, so it's hard to hop. Guys like the Martyn Ashton made it their claim to fame to do tricks on road bikes and are able to do this, but it's much harder compared to a BMX or slack geometry MTB. You'll also see that the guys doing tricks on road bikes always lower the saddle, its virtually impossible to bunnyhop or manual a road bike with the saddle adjusted for race day.
