One small step for most.... one giant leap for Trev

[Trev]

Ok, I thought this was week I lost my b*llocks.... Not really an excuse, but I still have a lot of neck pains from my slam at Corby a few weeks ago. These are normally little twinges that end up in full pain by the time I get home. Also I'm off on my hols in less than two weeks, so slightly paranoid about getting any sort of injury.

Well I've got peg stalls pretty much sussed. Can pull them practically everytime now. So the next step for me was to do it on the Charlton Spine. Superfly & TwoBob have been telling me to try them for ages. But I never had them sussed enough to brave it on the spine. Anyway, last night on the platform side, I was pulling them perfect every time. But every time I tried it on the spine, I bottled it. Every single blooming time... 

Tonight at Skaterham, there's another trick I always bottle. I've managed to pop out on the vert ramp a few times now, but always bottle dropping back in and end up sliding my bike down followed by myself. Paul Meacher has been trying to get me to do this for weeks now. Tonight he said he was sure I was gonna do it. After bottling it so many times tonight, I finally did it. Nothing spectactular. Didn't ride in or peg in. Just a basic drop in starting with one foot on the platform and easing myself in. Like I say, nothing spectacular, but a big step forward for me. So many thanks Paul for helping me get past one of my stumbling blocks.

Well done Trev 

Its funny on my MTB I have no rear, but I just can't ride a BMX anymore, I bottle it every time 

So I don't try anymore 

[pickle]

well done mate!   

[Trev]

cheers guys. it was only a simple thing, but if you've seen how much time i've spent stuck on that platform you'll know how much it means to me.
it's really stupid when you see how easily everyone else does it and i'm still stuck up there

[pickle]

mate....i've never seen it.....but i'm sure i wouldn't even have the bottle to get up onto it! let along drop in and out of it!! 

top stuff mate 

[evamedia]

Stumpy

[Trev]

Well done mate, jump the Charlton spine next week?

That's another one that's been bugging me for ages too.. I'm hoping if i can peg the spine, by actually being up there might ease a few nerves.

[darkersomeday]

yes trev!.......

goodstuff mate, get in there

[muttley]

I bow down to thee................git!! That means i have got to do it now 

[Bananaman]

Well done Trev 

Its funny on my MTB I have no rear, but I just can't ride a BMX anymore, I bottle it every time 

So I don't try anymore 

Chris I have exactly that same issue, I can go balls out on my MTB on most down hills and jumps but on a 20" no chance am all over the show, I recon its cruiser time for me

Nice one on the trick front Trev

[oberonspacefruit]

how high is it trev?

[Trev]

how high is it trev?

It's only 11ft, so not exactly the heights of Creation or Corby but still high enough for me to have bottled it for so long.

[oberonspacefruit]

11ft is high enough to fall on your head from. add the height of you standing on it and that makes a fair old drop.

[yoda]

Hahahaha nice one Trev keep pushin it man   

[superFLY69]

this is blinding news

well done trev

this is the pace at which anyone who knows you would expect you to progress

onwards and upwards bro!!!

[OrgasmDonor]

im shite scared of heights and could get on top but really took something to concentrate n pop back in, it does feel good when ya do it, nice one dude

[aerostylie]

Trev, was it peg stalls you were doing on the mini at Creation...I think it was and you had em nailed...about 12 smooth ones in a row

[Trev]

Trev, was it peg stalls you were doing on the mini at Creation...I think it was and you had em nailed...about 12 smooth ones in a row

Yeah. That's the one. I've been doing them for a while now, but they were hit and miss as to whether I'll pull them each time.
Last Wednesday at Charlton I got them completely sussed so that I could pull them almost every time. So at Creation that's pretty much all I did... So I was hoping to peg stall the spine this week, but I bottled it every time.

[subversion]

Well done Trev! so peg stalls on vert, 50-50 grinds on the mini's & footplants over the spines are all coming next dude
