i have one like that just near me in a park but nobody has the balls yet, even on my super 8, maybe its because its surrounded by bushes we dont want to land on.... but one day we will overcome the bush fear

should u land backwheel first?

No, off drops like that you generally try to land face first to avoid bottoming your suspension.

:lol: lol thats pretty good :)

Either Backwheel or bothwheels at the same time I say.

Ya, it depends on the landing... if it's a tranny, both wheels at the same time, but if it's to flat (which ideally you wouldn't be doing on a duallie), I much prefer to land sharply on the back wheel and let the front down slowly.

I'm happy to see no one has said to land front wheel first. Your asking for trouble if land drops like that. Both together or back wheel first if you can bring the front down without slapping it.

Depends actually, if it's a smallish drop with a very short tranny, I prefer to nose in so that both wheels can actually land on the tranny rather than having the front slap flat ground. Sort of like dropping into a quarter.

robree you're a tool. you can't do it on the creek side unless you drop into the creek side.

Glock

11-05-2003, 12:01 PM

i must agree, especially considering that i took the photo.....

Mr Mister

11-05-2003, 12:03 PM

and also was that on the bike you're selling? can't be in that good condition if you dropped 10ft and the crashed into the concrete at the bottom of the creek

Mr Mister

11-05-2003, 06:43 PM

yeah put some pictures up or tell people to go there when you do it so we can see it. like physco did. besides why would you do it on a hardtail anyway?so do you have any knees left?

Glock

12-05-2003, 03:24 PM

ok so maybe the drop was more like 7 or 8 ft, but that doesn't mean anything because...........ROBREE IS AN ASS CLOWN. are you saying that you dropped off the tank, and then onto a wooden board that lay across the creek? hmmmm. i think i might need to reiterate something that i mentioned before.........ROBREE IS AN ASS CLOWN

robree

12-05-2003, 05:07 PM

off the tank to the GRASS Tranny then across the board to get across the creek part. WANK

phsyco Miko

12-05-2003, 05:54 PM

i dont believe you have done that drop . you would need a pretty big board across the creek because the tranny is rough and on a hard tail you would get bounced around a lot i have looked at that side and not good mate.

IF YOU PUT UP A PIC OR PM ME TO TELL ME A TIME I CAN WATCH YOU DO IT (IF YOU CAN)

It's amazing how you can view these pictures seeing as the links are completely dead. Lying about seeing pictures that no longer exist, in a 2 year old thread.. that's even more stupid than the initial grave-dig.
