the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2009 at 4:46)

derekt (Sep 8, 2009 at 17:55)

you need a bigger jump lol

+ 1

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 8, 2009 at 18:09)

well my friend fliped this exact same jump perfectly first try so i dont think that is the issue.

+ 1

derekt (Sep 8, 2009 at 18:26)

yea, but it'd be easier to learn on a bigger jump cus you dont have to spin as fast as possible

+ 2

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 8, 2009 at 18:28)

yeah i agree. i have a tendency to spin very slowly even when i am doing 360's.

+ 1

derekt (Sep 8, 2009 at 18:30)

yea, I dont know much about flips because I dont really dirt jump any more and dont have access to a foam pit... try not bar humping so much

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2009 at 12:48)

you should try some on dirt. i am pretty shure that you had them a lot better then me into foam.

+ 1

recklessness (Sep 9, 2009 at 12:51)

I plan to. Keep in mind I am an old hack who needs to go to work the next day. I want a perfect jump for it before I'm attempting them. I am in no rush, but I 100% plan to land one on dirt.

+ 1

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2009 at 18:14)

yeah i was in quite a rush to try them to dirt because i wanted to do it before i sort of forgot how to flip again lol.

alltrail (Oct 6, 2010 at 20:10)

yo if your tacoing your wheel u gotta get a more solid one and u gotta use a jump with a steeper angle

+ 1

josh-stp2 (Oct 7, 2010 at 16:04)

he knows a lot more about bikes and building than you do. and it has nothing to do with the angle of the jump. so get oudda here

+ 1

the-ultimate-cyclist (Feb 16, 2010 at 17:16)

thanks.

+ 1

vano (Feb 17, 2010 at 4:19)

think about it, if you built a landing that is sloping down you wouldnt have to spin as far to land flat on the landing. If you spun the same amount with a landing, you would of nose dived into the landing but maybe made it.

+ 1

the-ultimate-cyclist (Feb 17, 2010 at 13:32)

yeah i know

vano (Feb 17, 2010 at 13:41)
