Summit mount eversest with a kicker, pedal like a demon and then send as many bars as you like until you feel comfortable. By the time you hit the floor, you might of accumilated at least a few hundred. All you have to do is land it

When you do hop ones pull the bars round to about 120 before you let go and then with your catching hand try and catch quite early it just minimize the amount of time the bars are out of your hands for

Lucky bastard haha units sick i have been told that trying them into foam doesnt work though as you are in the air for a lot longer than like a flyout etc but enjoy unit its such a rad park

I'm spending 7 hours total on trains to ride there haha...you should come...I could maybe get u a train ticket for £19 return?

Yeah i'll just do them on a flyout at unit...foam pits scare me to shit haha...i always end up hurting myself

Although i did "try" one when i was there for the first (and only) time, got both hands off and the bars like 270 around then chucked the bike away and slammed my hand off of my stem

Thanks alot, your help was very useful

Tried a couple of hops, f*cked up my knee pretty bad

yeah man ! get some knee/shin pads for xmas ! i can only just do hop bars without ... i still have very little confidence haha,i would not even think about a fly out bar spin with out pads

bobj (Dec 23, 2011 at 14:25)

I do have knee pads, i just don't wear them on street rides which is stupid

Going to start wearing them now that i'm getting bars

henry-turner (Dec 23, 2011 at 14:27)

I've got 661 veggie knees, and i wear football shinpads which work fine for shinners, but there is a gap in between. I've got demon dirt jeans which are very stretchy and made for riding, so i'm sorted

bobj (Jan 20, 2012 at 15:12)

you can still put your left foot down. or use a bike rack strap so that you can still get your foot out but it'll keep it on a bit haha. just an idea...
