How to do airs

[Trev]

all riding i do whether it be at charlton, rom, legacy or any other park is fun for me.  i don't compete anymore, so i don't have to practice for hours on end just to make sure i can pull my routine cleanly.  if i don't feel like riding, then i don't ride.  if it starts turning into a chore, then you can bet your bottom dollar that i will stop riding.  like you say, we're all getting old, so i would not waste time doing something in my spare time if i didn't enjoy it.

by the way, picking peanuts out of poo doesn't seem like fun to me... 

i don't care much for bowls or tiddlywinks either...

I think we might be misunderstanding each other.

Of course riding is fun you big oaf, thats the first and for some, only reason we do it.  I'm in love with it. And I agree completely, the minute it stops being fun I'm packing it in.  It's happened to me 3 times over the years.

But if you want to learn airs  (like you said)  then you are going to HAVE TO put some graft in.

[dirtyvans]

haha funny thread

trev you can learn to air the charlton ramp, the same as any vert ramp, just carve it more, its not that different

also we have a nice 7ft quarter in brighton with vert on it, for that up and down feeling 

[TwoBobRob]

Good point.  Cherry picker drop in for him tonight then.........

[loosenut]

trev mate i feel your pain. superfly paul spent about 2 hours solid trying to teach me to air the charlton ramp, and in the end i still couldnt do it. and he probably wanted to kill me. we agreed that i'd have to unlearn old skool up and down the ramp airs but i seem incapable of doing it.

anyway for dunmow location check here http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=16056.msg171217#msg171217

BUT

the skatepark seems to have been rebuilt and the quarter is gone!

[Trev]

i think i'll have to retrace my steps...

[muttley]

Good one last night, but if i dont get peg stalls soon i think Superfly will kill me........................then Rob 

[Trev]

i must have tried about 60 peg stalls last night before pulling it.  i didn't even take that many attempts to pull it when i was learning it.

[muttley]

Tis getting a tad annoying now

To be fair Trev had a good go last night, took a fair few slams too.  He also got ripped over this thread though.

[TwoBobRob]

I think everyone had a good go last night, as is the way usually at Charlton.


Apart from SuperFLY.  He's a pussy.

Those slams hurt in the morning.  Lots of bruises around my back / hip area.

I think I took that honour last night.

[TwoBobRob]

We're gonna have to start giving it to him over those nosepicks.  He's gonna be stuck where he is forever unless he starts crashing or pulling them...
