So following the tips from the video steve posted I was able to bump up to 13" in 10 min without hitting as I went up. New goal 20" by next Monday.

But in my mind the clear winner of this weeks challenge goes to Dj

You tell DJ that nobody likes a show-off

i am going to practice so I can do more that 3 1/2 inches high without crashing. We need a fat old guy competition you young fit guys SUCK. I belong to the useta-could group.

 

[Cascadia]

Hey you'll still smoke me on a dirtbike any day.

 

[sixstringsteve]

bump. weekend reminder to get this trick done. I almost forgot.

 

[sixstringsteve]

post #1 has been updated. Let me know if I made any mistakes with anyone's score.

 

[Gravy]

Sooo crap weather out.

 

[sixstringsteve]

My arms feel like rubber after practicing for 20 min. Sad reflection of how weak I am. I ended up doing a lot better than I thought I would. Video coming soon.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I really pushed myself on this one. I feel like my body might be able to do an inch or two more, but my brain can't handle it. I freak myself out and it's getting to my head, so I stopped before I hurt myself.


At around 14" I had to completely change my technique and timing. I'm not used to the timing required for the bigger stuff. Hanging a towell helped a lot; I was having a tough time judging the height of it without it.

Wow killer work Steve. And nice bike. I have been looking like a derp riding around my block practicing bunny hops over the lines in the sidewalk ha. Bunnyhops are not my forté.

Well done Steve! I need to get going on this trick.... I hurt my hand at work yesterday and haven't tried to ride on it yet.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thanks guys. Kyle, I'm sure you could jump higher than me if your hand were normal.

I know what you mean. My neighbors that were driving by would stop to watch to see if I could jump it. I don't do well under pressure.

 

[rholbrook]

Steve, you're the man. That was sick. I was lucky to clear the 3 1/2" set as the minimum. I hurt myself. Slide off the back onto the rear tire leaving a skidmark on the Berrys I crashed trying to learn how to Hang Five and now the inside of my foot is black and blue. The wife says to hang it up. Nope, can't get shown up by Harrison.

 

[Cascadia]

It's going to happen someday Russ. Just don't give in.

 

[193kyle]

OK, I spent a couple hours practicing today, got up to 26".
