DAMN Reunion 19-21 May 2017
Re: DAMN Reunion 19-21 May 2017
There was a guy that was going to take my ZRX... I don't remember his name, as I might have had a couple beverages at that point. I need to get in touch with him because he still hasn't shown up to take it.

Nice!
I was smart going over the logs like that, or just too lazy to want to pick my bike up?

But they were easy tipovers... no big deal. I know what I am going to practice at Jed's.BamBam wrote:Ok great, now I am afraid to wheelie over big logs, too

The key is to tag the log with the front wheel just after you start to wheelie. If you don't do this the wheel almost always slaps down and causes you to loose a lot of momentum.BamBam wrote:Ok great, now I am afraid to wheelie over big logs, too

If you tap the front wheel the log will transfer energy causing the front to float up so when the rear hits it levels the front and rear as you clear the log.

looked to me like you mastered tipovers.

Well said.....In the trials world that is known as a double blip. Most common used and first thing you learn to do.beejaytee wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 1:34 pmThe key is to tag the log with the front wheel just after you start to wheelie.

Re: DAMN Reunion 19-21 May 2017
Yep, that's one of the techniques that was taught at the ryan young trials school. I don't think I've had the opportunity to use it yet (there's never a log on the trail when you want one). I've gotten over lots of logs without it but it did make log hopping a lot easier on the vintage yamaha trials bike I rode a little bit at the school. After I've applied it once in real life I plan to start calling myself a trials technique based rider... ;) It's the only technique that my tiny brain retained from the school in the "that looks practical for regular riding" file.beejaytee wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 1:34 pmThe key is to tag the log with the front wheel just after you start to wheelie.
