March 3, 201412 yr 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. I think he meant that's why you need a spotter
March 5, 201412 yr Author 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! Damn, crashes are the best part! Saw your video, enjoyed watching it. Cheers, see you there soon.
March 5, 201412 yr Author I think he meant that's why you need a spotter Yeah I suppose, but even on the big obstacles I do I prefer not to use a spotter because they get in the way haha.
March 5, 201412 yr Yeah I suppose, but even on the big obstacles I do I prefer not to use a spotter because they get in the way haha. When I am a spotter for my riding buddies, I stand just out of the way. I am there for "confidence boosting". Yelling things like "You can do it!" and "Really give it a GO!". And when they don't make it, I point and laugh. I have heard rumor that a spotter is supposed to "catch the bike", what is that all about???
March 6, 201412 yr If you catch a bike from your mate, and he gets hurt enough so he can't ride it anymore, you get to keep the bike, so I'm told...

My buddy Biffsgasgas has a Gold frame Raga now..... Hey Biffsgasgas I think you should try an 8 ft step this summer..........I'll be your spotter!!!!! Edited March 6, 201412 yr by zippy
March 26, 201412 yr Author Hi guys, finally was able to upload a video. My computer doesn't like to cooperate with me most of the time. Here is the successful splat with a few crashes too. Cheers
