yeah the photo of zac  is deffo  mental  you really have got to stand on the edge of the pool to appreciate just how rad that is 



but i also like this photo  dont no who it is  but you can tell its done at speed by how far hes traveled and how far hes gonna go and if he dont land it how much  it would hurt

that chad pic is rad, many peeps into big bunny hop pump air style these days[ nowt wrong with that]out of non vert stuff
some new school riders cant handle the vert as their too used to pullin out these days, the white bowl is a good lesson in how not to pull out ,
proberly gonna get ripped now

Totally agree Rory and I'm the other way, I struggle to get air on mini ramps etc. because I'm used to letting the vert do the work for me, on minis I just hang up and die!

They really are my Achilles Hell!

Sounds cool to me mate......I just really have a problem with them. I think it's the pushing the front end back down that causes me the problem. It just seems such an alien concept to me - bizarre!

Sorry to hijack....so here's a pick of me from 1981, posted this in the freestyle section too, jumping out of a bowl in Newquay! I know there 3 pics together but it's the way I scanned them, it's the bottom pic I'm on about.

I struggle to get air on mini ramps

I never aired mini ramps until I started riding again in October 07. It's just a big pump at the bottom and an american bunny hop out of the coping. I think I'm too old for vert now, just not prepared to take the pain anymore.
