Well i hope you do very well! the training you put in for it it unreal!

So mokwepa, remember when you put the video of you doing the big tire?? Well, i thought wouldn't it be better to analyse your technique if it slowed down, so i did a little editing!

You Sir, are very boorish and rude!

Thank You for noticing!!!

Fact: females have a smaller head, 90 degree angle from top of head down to trunk, have tits between the front legs (not like a cow at the back, at the front like a wife ) and have a attitude similar to satan..

I think you just decribed my first wife.......

Jimmie

thats actually not bad technique.

rob

Indeed it is not! Mokwepa, if you need or want any other videos slowing down for you so that it is easy for people to look at technique and whatever, just let me know and i will do it for you!

Thanks bud.

My phone allows me to slo mo my vids an I cant even tell you how many times ive watched my own vids in slomo. I chech my own techniques and go from there. I have noticed that on my japzaps, I load the suspension plenty on the first bouce and not enough on the second. Thats why im battling getting enough hight out of the back wheel.

Problem is, I can see what in doing wrong and understand it but actually doing it is another story.

My spelling is up to sh@t tonight, too many hops I guess

Lol.....zippy, you are one sharp dude

Back to trials: I am soooo looking forward to sundays trial in Magaliesburg. I have put in the peg time and trained fairly hard since my first and feel that ive made some progress. I can turn a bit tighter, balance a bit longer and generally feel a bit more comfortable on the bike. Realistically, im not expecting to win my class, but I am hoping to place a little higher on the grid. Guess time will tell if ive been practicing the right stuff.

Today and tomorrow im just gonna practice the basics then friday and saturday will be travelling (800km round trip just to ride in the event )and making sure my bikes in tip top condition for sunday.

I don't think "sharp" is generally used when describing my mental factulties. Now smarta*** that I have heard many times.

Good luck at the trial, have FUN!!!! (does always seem more fun if riding "well")

Thank You for noticing!!!

Jimmie

I only notice because I also am Boorish and Rude!!!!! (just try to cover it up) :boobies:

Hahaha, zippy those are too funny!

Mokwepa, i think it is the best way to learn by watching yourself in slow motion you can really see what you are doing wrong however actually improving even though you know what is going wrong is still pretty hard hahaha

Well today I decided to skip training and rather prep for my trial on sunday (my first REAL trials event in a great location). I didnt want to risk breaking me or my bike before the event.

Today I washed the bike good and proper, cheched all the bolts and bits that come loose, cleaned the airfilter AGAIN and sorted out my spares, fluids and tools. Also washed my helmet lining, gloves and other bits of kit. My sexy Beta pants are clean and ready for action.

Saturday, ill be replacing inline fuel filter, putting on a new chain and checking the float bowl and jets are clean.......then.......ill be ready........oh yes, polishing my hand me down novagar boots tonight.

Yes, im a bit anal with the prep but it leaves me with no excuse when I ride like a plonker.....then I must just train harder if I do.

Cant wait, getting super excited.

Where is the trial at??

A place called Magaliesburg, the super duper trials spot in the part of sa that I live in. Its apparently the best spot in our parts. Rivers etc. From what ive been doing prior to trials, it should be heaven. Im expecting to battle a bunch but I just look forward to the terain. Getting bored with my training spot after seeing it every day. Need to rearrange my obstacles I guess.

Ps: boots are polished to their best.

Wow...lots of activity lateley... Riding with elephants must be rad!!! Id love to prance around those landscapes (in an armored 6x6)
