Today I... (brag thread)

Dude, 4 feet= 48" to pedal, right? Ryan Atkins has hopped 43" to tire,
which means he can probably hit somewhere around 50 inches to pedal.
Which would mean you're in Ryan Atkins' league. So are you really
almost as good as Ryan Atkins?

My son learned to jump mount today... It only took him like 5 tries to
hit the first one... and he is probably hitting 75%+...

I... um... I got three turns backwards and 3 idles... 🙄 (man I
need to work hard to keep up with him...😄 )

A hickflip? Is that when you rotate your hillbilly 180 degrees in
midair?

I got in four idles for the first time; I usually do three and
fall/shoot the uni out behind me. I also learned how to keep going
despite pedal strikes when I really lean into turns. I got off a few
really, really low hops today too, for the first time. I never could
land one before. That was all this morning before going to church,
too.

So, I think it would be pretty cool if there was a thread here for
people to brag about the tricks they've just learned or the
height/length they've just hopped without having to make a new thread.
I'll start.

Yesterday, I transitioned from one-foot riding to one-foot idling and
back again for the first time, I seat-out hopped up a curb and rode off
for the first time, I came closer to a suicide mount than ever before
(I can do the jump onto the pedals, but only if I hold onto the seat),
and I went in a backwards circle with a smaller radius than ever
before.

So, did you pick up a new trick today? Finally make that six-foot
static side hop? UPD for a stupid reason? Post here!

Nice going Eric! You'll have to show me those new tricks when we ride
this Tuesday! Well I just got back from Moab Muni fest, and I kinda
learned something new.

A film crew from Mountain Dew was there filming a lot of us and asked
me if I could/would hop down a ledge at a skatepark that was hihger
than I've *ever* hopped...so naturally i said yes!

I was pretty scared but tried not to show it as I side hopped about 4.5
feet down, and landed it first try! Whew! Other than that both Eric and
I learned recently to mount to one-foot pedalling both from pedal to
crown and then mounting first with one foot on the crown directly to
one-foot pedalling. cool!😄

I rode my skinniest skinny today. I put down 3 star pickets end to end
and rode along them. They're about 4mm wide. I feel special.

Edit: Oh, I also hit a 6ft gap SIF for the first time without not
failing at it. It was 2 concrete slabs with grass in between them.

The other week me and Andrew Carter went to a bike trials comp. After it
we both spent about 30min to an hour practising riding a really skinny
cable, we both mananged to get to the end, it was about 3 or 4m long
and wobbled like crazy:eek:

Today I got a new personal record riding backwards - 4.5 revolutions.

That's great. And Yes I'm envious! I should practice going backwards
more. Then maybe I'd get it.

Good for you!
Question.. is a pedal strike when the pedal hits the ground? I'm
guessing this happens only on smaller wheels..

My brag? I split my right knee pad yesterday. Why is that a brag?
Cause it didn't hurt a bit. 😄

Today I one-footed wheelwalked about 4 or 5 metres. Very good.

I'm also getting close to seat-wraps and I tried grinding a rail
today(didn't get much distance, but it was fun nevertheless).
