SwissVan Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 there is a time and a place for a pronk... You mean there's hope for us pronkers
SwissVan Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I can't even 'pronk' And you did the Epic.....
rouxtjie Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 You mean there's hope for us pronkersI still do a pronk(like a kalahari springbok) every now and again...small obstacles that is quickly on you like around a blind bend requires a pronk...nothing wrong. Bunnyhop is still prefered, you can clear higher and further...good skill for the quiver.
RockCoach Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yep that is a pronk...got nothing to do with being clipped in or not...Ah okay. Pronking with flats is part of the learning process. I hope that on your skills courses you teach how to repair pinch flats... that hop was slightly short and touched the log Also part of the learning process is touching the top of the log with both wheels as Wessel did there.
rouxtjie Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Ah okay. Pronking with flats is part of the learning process. Also part of the learning process is touching the top of the log with both wheels as Wessel did there.Yea, good idea, you will get a feel for distance / speed / timing required RockCoach 1
DIPSLICK Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 And you did the Epic.....ANY PLONKER CAN DO THE EPIC :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: IM BORED

Super Sywurm Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) NICE!!! I've been riding for a million years, i should try that! Edited October 23, 2013 by Heinrich55
RockCoach Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 As long as it doesn't lead to a tendencey for front and rear wheel casing That log is just under 300mm high I reckon. You expect someone to clear it on their fifth ever offroad ride?

I didn't say I expected it cleared. The effort displayed is very commendable indeed. I was simply saying that touching your front and back wheel on an obstacle one is jumping/hopping can be a bad thing.

It is the first method I show riders how to get over obstacles. Better than nailing your Chainring into the log
Wessel-Louis Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 As long as it doesn't lead to a tendencey for front and rear wheel casing Jip, and wait till I repost here in a weeks time... U won't be talking about pinches then
