At last.....
« on: March 20, 2009, 02:08 PM »
This is a bit embarrassing  :-[ , you guys have been at it for years..me I've just been trying it off and on since I was about 49...

I was never going to manage it on a 2006 haro sport...ever.


today for the first time ever...on  haro group 1 I finally managed to do a bunny hop  :-[

It wasnt high (over a kerb) and it wasnt smooth...but at least and at last the bloody back wheel came off the floor  :LolLolLolLol:

I was a bit disappointed though...no one got pregnant through my effort at radness...guess I'll have to try harder next time....or maybe just use my willy instead  ;)

Ray tell me you had your Skyway kit on, go on tell me.

Sadly not, to be honest that would be disrespectful to the true pioneers of BMX...of which one sadly I am not  ;D

I guess when you're a kid, you have loads of energy...if you get it wrong you do it again and again until you get it right...if you fall off or whatever, you just get up and carry on as if nothing had happened...

Trying it at age 51, you get tired  ;D you do a couple then say... 'right, that's enough of that, let's go get a Beer'  :LolLolLolLol:

I've got a feeling we might have a nice Summer this year...just to get a job now and then life will be good again  :daumenhoch:

Well I've been trying, and indeed the back wheel leaves the floor.  I get the feeling the handlebars aren't in the angled correctly in the stem for this particular trick (ie too much towards ns rather than os) as the back end keeps trying to swing round...

I'll see if I can find the right size allen key and have another go tomorrow  :LolLolLolLol:

Nice one!!! Never too old to learn something new.

First time I did it I thought a squirrel had got pregnant from watching my radness but it just turned out to be a bit of hazlenut wind! Keep trying and you'll have someone pregnant soon as!
