October 20, 201312 yr Hey guys, Just thought I'd post a video that I uploaded to Youtube of me attempting a Splat. Contains CRASHES. Cheers, Zac.
October 20, 201312 yr Author Thanks. I will keep trying and hopefully post a video of a successful ride soon.
October 21, 201312 yr Author Why make it more difficult by using a tire that's at an angle? No reason really, just thought I'd give it a go.
October 21, 201312 yr Why make it more difficult by using a tire that's at an angle? Because he can!!
October 22, 201312 yr Because he can!! He clearly can't, otherwise he wouldn't crash. On a flat top he can, i'm sure...
October 22, 201312 yr He clearly can't, otherwise he wouldn't crash. On a flat top he can, i'm sure... Touche
February 3, 201412 yr If he learns to do them on an angle, then when he comes to a flat, they will be easy. Good video Zac. I look forward to catching you trying it in person when I eventually make it down to OMCC for a ride.
February 3, 201412 yr well done mate nice vid and keep at it,i like the little shake of the head at the end lol don't give up you will get it in the end,

February 24, 201412 yr Yeah I have mate, was there two Thursdays ago. Had a blast and managed to do ok. I am back there this Thursday afternoon too. I have an RDO so will be there fairly early, maybe around 4:30ish, Hope to run into you. I am on the Scorpa and wearing overboot pants, looking very amateur!!

I look forward to catching you trying it in person when I eventually make it down to OMCC for a ride.Didn't look like he learned anything to me.......needs a smaller obstacle or a spotter for sure. Damm good effort though.
March 3, 201412 yr Author Didn't look like he learned anything to me.......needs a smaller obstacle or a spotter for sure. Damm good effort though. Haha ok then. The obstacle would be easy for me to get up if the kicker was closer to the big tyre, the kicker had to be further back because there was a smaller tyre poking out of the ground making it impossible to put the kicker in the right spot. I don't need a spotter, did you see me hurt myself? Did I break my bike? Nope. I am fully capable of doing this but I just need to get the technique a bit better. Hope to have another go this Thursday.
March 3, 201412 yr I went down last week and managed to have a cracker crash, which I didn't get on tape. Still to check for any damage to the bike. I will post some of my efforts though once it has uploaded to YouTube. I don't think I will make there this week however, but I do look forward to your next installment!
