  1. Afaik kliponoff do a swan neck rack
  2. I always use super unleaded for my bike and it runs sweat. Aint you supposed to run a min ron of 98?
  3. That sounds very intresting and something i can do at home when unable to ride! Will have to try that one thanks
  4. that bike is wicked i want one lol
  5. Probs put kickstart on wrong. Does it sit right when against the engime? Might need to rotate it a few splines
  6. Just read. Not nice that for a day of fun as you say to end your life, must of been a tough guy to continue riding after breaking ribs!
  7. Dont you just have to hit your back wheel 80/99% up the rock to bring the front end back down?
  8. Grasshopper haha i like it! Wait so im not to use my clutch between step one and two? I stuggle more with smaller rocks as they take no effort and you can just ride up them so cant feel if your doing it right or not
  9. Yeah ive only been out about 4 times as my bike was in bits for over 7 months lol. Its mad how quick you get back into it though! Say hi if ya see me up charltons, always up for a natter and meeting people and trying different things im game for most stuff ill attempt out
  10. Hey, thanks for the explination. Ill try all of the help youve given me and hopefully get the hang of it! I really want to buy ryan youngs dvds as i know theyll be helpful but its just having the spare money at the min as ive had so many things to buy. Wish i bought it last year instead of getting the around trials dvd
  11. Ill try that next time im out but whenerver i do that i always come to a deadstop and nearly go over handlebars
  12. do you see what i mean about how i cannot get my back wheel ontop of it? using the rear brake to slow it down like in the first videos with the pipe seems more controlled but only when practicing on those pipes.. looking at them now over video it seems im more just riding up them rather than using technique? can anyone spwend any time to explain what it is im doing wrong? not enough power? bending knees? leaning back? front wheel placement?
  13. sorry for all the post but i can only post 2 videos per post
  14. notice how more faster i am and less controlled? well ive been trying to use both techniques on a rock and cant do either and im baffled as to what i am doing wrong. i cant seem to push up onto the rock to clear it.. it all happens so fast and i feel uncontrolled and cant seem to slow it down, if i do i dont even get half as far
  15. ok so i went out and got some videos to show you what i mean this is me using my back brake between blips notice the pause? and this is with not
  16. i dont attack it hard and all i give is the very smallest of blips. am i doing it wrong maybe by loading my front suspension too hard when just setting my front wheel on the rock? i feel as though as soon as my wheels on the rock i have to blip my throttle again to go at it otherwise ill be too far forward? today when using my rear brake i felt i had that slight little bit more time to get into position to push up the rock and try to use more technique than power. i dont want to pick up bad habbits though so whatever works for me isnt the option i really want to take if its wrong. check out this vid at 40 seconds in to understand what im trying to explain.. is that really done without any rear brake use? it seems as though theres a point the bike is stationary with the wheel on the rock before he goes up the rock even better toni bou himself... the first rock. its as though theres a slight pause before you begin the second part of getting up the rock. i cant seem to get that position, my bike seems to be constantly moving forward maybe its the position of my wheel? im trying to touch it at the peak of the rock, the corner as much? should be be hitting it further down so i cant ride forward from it?
  17. Feels as though it gives me that slight amount of time to get mt body back and low to actually push the bike up the rock
  18. When watching people who can get over rocks, double blipping they make it look so slow and their body doing the work and not so much the power of the bike.also how theres a split second they leave the front wheel on the rock it looks like it aids them to keep the front wheel up when ontop of the rock. For me it all happens so fast but Ive been practicing today and the way im doing it i blip once to get front wheel on rock then touch back break to slow the bike after you raised the wheel then go again with another blip and push up with my body. I feel more controlled and it doesnt seem everything is happening to fast. Is this the correct way using a slight bit of rear brake after the first blip once the wheel is on the rock
