Game of "B.I.K.E." - beginner version

[Cascadia]

I could only get up to about 18". I feel like I could do more but I think the full suspension is killing me. Not allowing me to get all the pop I need cause it compresses right before. I took my bike in to jdub (John) at Bingham cyclery today to get a full tune up. Should have it back tomorrow for the next trick.

18" on a full sus is impressive!

This weeks trick is a rear tire hop and ride away, five minimum.

He was going to do the bunny hop 180 so this is a step back

12.5" not bad for in the dark with no run in.
I tried 18.5" but when I landed I broke the barrel adjuster on my rear brake lever since I have to slam on the brakes to keep from hitting the trailer I figured I had better quit for safety sake tonight...lol.

Leave it up to me to procrastinate ha. Caught this on the way home from work, only thing I had in my truck worthy of bunny hopping was an ammo can. What are they like 7.5"-8"? Sorry I know the video sucks, bunny hopping isn't really what I'm best at.

Good stuff! Post #1 updated.

2 people are out of the game. Some people's trick dates have been bumped up a bit.

I agree, it's pretty cool way to connect with people and get outside. Not quite as much fun as a live game of BIKE at the skatepark, but it's a close second.

I know everyone except dugfab, gertsch, and unstuck. I'd like to meet them soon. Maybe we'll have a giant "live" game of bike at the end of this, where we can only do the tricks listed in this thread. That'd be fun.

 

[jeeper]

Ive only met 2 or 3 of these guys..

 

[Rock Taco]

I'm out of this as well. Bike is fine back is not!

 

[sixstringsteve]

bummer.

 

[gertsch]

why do I have a k?

Oops, my bad. Sorry about that. Fixed.

 

[gertsch]

Thank you

 

[sixstringsteve]

Thanks for catching it. It's hard to keep track of what I've marked and what I haven't. Keep an eye on your score everyone, and correct me if I made an error.
