October 22, 201312 yr First double blips and slowing down what looks like a splat. As the title said. Feeling a bit mor comfy on the bike... I look at myself and notice how i can improve... But really appreciate your advice... Hows that move in which i hop up the ledge called? splat? and what if i touch the ledge with my front wheel a bit to aid going up?
October 22, 201312 yr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTSd4MbzoGc&feature=youtube_gdata_player Hey bud, this is the move that alot of us are striving to perfect. ....the japzap. This is one of the best vids showing how its done right. With your splat attempt, try place a small kicker rock just before the ledge, that should lauch your rear tire up and into the ledge. I havent even tried a splat.....im stil working on the japzap.
October 22, 201312 yr Not to bad ...... if you are a girl ....hahahh No need to speed at the log, sloooooow approach, lift front wheel to touch log mid height or a little higher as wheel touchs compress rear, feather in the clutch add more revs as suspension is rising fully engage clutch and lift up on bars and lift up on pegs with your thighs , this should see back wheel rise up high on log and not thump into it, keep front wheel elevated with this combination, do it with the right timing combination should not feel the hit of the back wheel and you should not make that log rock and roll, practice timing over and over till you get it sweet.
October 22, 201312 yr Dam, my thighs dont reach my pegs.......im never going to get it right Mybe I should try my boys oset 12.5 Edited October 22, 201312 yr by mokwepa
October 22, 201312 yr I think the technique on the bank is called "just hit it", it's effective The log you have a good double blip going on, I find it hard to time stuff, it seems to happen too quickly to put the movements together sometimes When I watch an expert they pop up on stuff slowly and practically stop on top of the log on the rear wheel and I am always amazed
October 22, 201312 yr That is some good advice right there. Ive always tried the japzap with a half decent runup and felt more speed is essential to get up a decent step. Today i tried a short runup that obviously slowed things down and what a surprize, the bike just hopped right up there effortlessly. Then to confirm, i took a long run up but at snail pace, and same thing. slowing things down helps a hell of a lot to getting your timing right.
February 20, 201412 yr Hi baldilocks Im friends with him on FB. His EVO is up for sale, he says trials is just not for him. He has done a few stunt shows and seems to be more focused on that. Due to a trials bike design, he says that trials bikes arent great stunters for his style of riding. I suggested that he keep the EVO and do something different with it, like kit it out for dedicated stunting ie: pogo pegs, weelie bar etc. I recon it would make a great stunter due to the power and weight, kinda like freestyle bmx on steroids. Anyway, trials is just not his thing.
