the artist formerly known as ish Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 That's the good thing about being a works rider, who cares how much you lot have to pay for them, and if them young HS riders are eating candy, I'll swipe that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich lin Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 That's the sprit Isherwood, You shameless moneybags profiteer. ax, no the book sold out years ago, you can still buy the great Bernie book though. Also take a look at the Ryan Young video, it's really good. I'd like to see Ryan do an expanded version of his video, taking more time with the basics and the advanced stuff. One tip for sure, if you ever get the chance to do the James Lampkin school, DO IT! It's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Lane; what is the full title of Bernie's book ? And a ? for my memory banks , When did all the hopping start ? cause I got away from trials right about the time Bernie became champ or the begining of that year... and at the time I don't recall hopping at all. And it was all slow and controled no stopping at all...... Glenn Edited June 7, 2006 by axulsuv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich lin Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Glen, I stopped riding for nearly 20 years so I've got a big blank in my trials timeline. I have seen Bernie hop a little back in 79 without stopping! So I give credit to him, I even have it on VHS tape. My guess is when they changed the rules from the Scottish rules or classic rules as I like to call them to stop and hop without penality. Maybe someone else can fill you in on that detail? I don't remember the exact name of the Bernie trials book but it is available at Whitehorse press. I think it's really a better book than mine.
