360 nosepicks (on a mini, to fakey) put me on my arse a good few times this week. Id like to get them again.

Too many tricks are on going but Im trying to get real locked in toothpicks. Ive also got back on to trying framewhip nosepicks. I always give up after not getting very far. I figure that if most kids can do them now without front brakes I really should be able to get them!

Icepicks (or attempted icepicks) always used to jar the fcuk out of my knee. Now it's repaired, I'm interested to know if thats still the case. If they don't hurt now, then I'd like to sort them out.

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #9 on:** September 05, 2008, 10:17 PM »

Jedi - I'll see if I can set it up. Afternoonish session?

Chubs, howdy mate. France was very good thanks, nearly nailed myself in the head with my trials bike - so I had to throw it down the hill unfortunately, so its not looking quite so straight at the mo.....

I did hear about your manual slam, yeah.... hehe..... which hurt more, your knees or your pride in front of the lady??

jedi · « **Reply #10 on:** September 05, 2008, 10:18 PM »

lazychubs · « **Reply #13 on:** September 05, 2008, 10:21 PM »

Bushwacked · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2008, 11:04 PM »

Step ups!!!

Seriously I'm trying to get more air when I go over volcanos and jumps - just trying to get the feel for the bike more. Also bunny hops - haven't quite got them just yet.

macky · « **Reply #15 on:** September 06, 2008, 12:51 AM »

360 Spines and volcanos for me.....

done a few little spines... like corby's...

But they terrify me... i never really had a chance to ride them bitd!!

and everyones try'na get me to do it all the time!!

keep thinking i'll either clip my back wheel on the coping or i'll get it round to back wheel landing and loop out!!

scary...

Whips too... but i'm always trying to learn them..... never gonna get em!!

jon foz · « **Reply #16 on:** September 06, 2008, 01:03 AM »

after the 24 year lay off Ive been trying to start easy...................and its not :(I managed to nail the old rockwalk last week and me and a mate knocked up a little bunny hop stick,I got to 16.5 " and felt like I was about to die,going for 20"next week,wish me luck

Voodoocars · « **Reply #17 on:** September 06, 2008, 06:45 AM »

I dont have a specific trick in mind.I dont really want to learn tailwhips or bar spins 'cause they dont interest me.Its a general thing really- get higher on vert,air higher on 1/4's and I want to be able to 'ride' a park by transfering from here to there like the kids do.I was doing quite well at creation until they moved all the chuffin' ramps around.As for vert,I seem to have more off days than good at the moment. ???I did ok on thursday tho' so as Yazz and the plastic population said-"The only way is up!"

tricknuts · « **Reply #18 on:** September 06, 2008, 06:55 AM »

one handed pogo hops

and air out of the coping and to go over that spine thing without hooking up or landing on the flat bottom.

subversion · « **Reply #19 on:** September 06, 2008, 07:23 AM »

No footer nosepicks
smith -270 in (off the peg like a rock walk)
tailwhip nosepick to fakie

harris · « **Reply #20 on:** September 06, 2008, 07:29 AM »

anything for me at the moment 10 mins rolling about and im in pain
my limitations is just small ramps carving and having a laugh on vert low but building back up.
i have to decide how far i want to go but silly stuffs a no no
sat here this morning im in pain again so not sure if its gym work i need or they are just creamed again
but just being able to ride with my mates will do me .man im so gutted being like this i could scream n cry.truth
