Hog's first Dirt Jump!

[Bos]

Nice one Hog!

Just be careful on the left line at the Spruit! That table top is alright' date=' but the rest of the jumps are dangerous. They're step down jumps and the spacing's not right. Jumps in a set should get longer or stay about the same length. Those get shorter Step down jumps can cause really sh*tty OTB crashes... nobody likes a scorpion grind

 I never knew thats what Its called.. but when thinking of it It makes sense

heres one.. well almost

 

Stepdowns are defiantely not the way to start, You got that right Brad..

you need good bike control and a good Idea of what the lip does, also It tends to get you nose heavy as the arc continues further than normally..

Yes, I checked the rest of the line and decided not to push my luck, but just getting the feel of the take-off and landing on the small one felt great.

Seeing as there are freebie test rides.? Can I test one?? I'm very gentle on bikes... ?(You'll have to sign a disclaimer in case the frame breaks though)

I think that frame can handle pretty much anything' date=' so sure thing! Bring the Shiggle, I want to feel how it behaves. Maybe HR can bring the other Chumba as well? Maybe on Sunday morning, at the park? [/quote']

A few moths ago there were some amazingly high jumps at Tokai forest. there is still a nice ramp there which is pretty high.
