Small wall drop

[Scully]

Had plans to go riding on a big building site on friday arvo but the builders stayed to well after 6 so we didn't get on to it. Anyway we found a bit of a wall drop just up the road so we spent the arvo there.

And me over Hursty's Bike:

The pics aren't very good quality at all because I was using our old Canon PowerShot 350. The drop itself isn't very big, 1.8m at the highest point, but it is to flat so I can't be stuffed going any bigger

nice work.
like how u called it a wall drop not a god damn huck!!

[MikeT]

nice work wat bikes are u riding?

[junior]

both of em look like specalized

[dylma]

mmm not bad drop, though onto flat, but hey, its 4 foot, and grass landing.. sounds like good fun!

[Scully]

I'm riding a big hit expert 03 and Hursty is riding a big hit comp 02 with boxxers

[MUNGUS]

really not that special

[junior]

really not that special

BAHHHAAAAAA
i was so expecting that :lol: :lol:

[stacka]

Still....even if it is little its something to do! Its fun its worth it.

[CHEWY]

You spent an arfternoon on that!
There really must be shit all to ride where you live..

[Scully]

By an afternoon I am talking from 5pm-6pm and no the riding where I live is some of the best in the country, I live in Cairns. Its just I don't have my P's yet so I am not in a position to go driving everywhere, and anywhere I do ride has to be relatively close cause hauling a dh bike round takes a lot effort. This is literally 50m from my house and the building site we were going to go to is even closer.

If it is not raining tomorrow I will go to the building site and get some pictures of me doin a gap we made and then post em up.

Amen. Ride what makes you happy.

[MikeT]

yeh at least its better than the crap rom posted the other day nice work man!! 8)

[Grix]

Good stuff dude, looks like mad fun.

Would like to see some pics of you Mungus and the other's that gave this dude a hard time. Least he is out there giving it a go and not paying out other riders...

[snow_rider]

SMALL, i wouldn't do that if you paid me $1,000,000............ok maybe for a $1,000,000 but still

[MUNGUS]

fine ride wat u want but y bother posting up pics of some gay drop?? post pics if they r good and worth looking at. i could post pics of myself but i can't be fucked, if u want some that bad i'll pm them to ya but i don't need to prove myself on the internet.

[Ryan]

Your "gay drop" is another riders major feat of progression and overcoming the mental obstacles associated with doing it.

No need to hate Mungus, everyone has to start somewhere and has the right to be proud when they do something that's big for them. Check the attitude at the door in future, it won't fly here. Take that as a friendly warning.

[MUNGUS]

i don't hate n e one in this thread. i gave my opion on these photos which is all n e one else is doing and i'm getting slammed for it. not really attitude is it.

[Ryan]

Fair enough, but how would you feel if the first time you posted pics on these forums you were told it was "gay". Wouldn't really encourage you to come back would it?

Farkin is for everyone, you're obviously fast, good on you, but it doesn't give you the right to rag on what other people post here. It's that ragging on people that I interpreted as 'attitude'.

[Tomas]

Didnt stop everyone having a go at me tho :shock: .

[stacka]

Hugh, Ive seen you ride, your f#@^ing quick and we respect that, im also sure you can do huge shite too, but if its fun its worth it. What do you do if there's not much to ride, sit on your arse and not bother or go riding for the sake and fun of it? I sure know what i'd do........

[mtbmx]

sick drop dude keep up the good work :D

[johnny]

If you don't like it, DON'T FUCKING LOOK AT IT! If you do look at it and don't like it, SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'm new to biking and I can't do shit yet, but I respect these dudes for going out, having fun and sharing it with others. Just because you can do better doesn't mean that everyone else has to live up to your standard. And as for attitude, yes you had godamned truck loads of it in your post. If you want to criticise, do it constructivly eg: that's not bad, but you seemed to have mastered it so let's see some pics of your next bigger and better stuff.

BTW, if you don't have to prove yourself on the internet, why should these blokes have too?

Go stand in front of a mirror mate.

[hursty]

yeah man, u sed it
thats me on the white bighit, i thought it was a chalange (havnt been into riding very long) the drops we had planned on doing were twice asa big almost, but we couldnt acces them. o well
shit happens

[MUNGUS]

never said they had to live up to my standard whatever they may be. i don't think i do have attitude so u can toungue my brown. why should u be able to tell me what to do and how to do it. y create a false little world on here and tell everyone that everything they do is awesome if its not?? fair enough for them going out and doing it, i would have ridden it as well but its nothing impressive so y does it require pics on the net?? if i don't like wat i see for watever reason i'll tell u that, i don't care. u have your opinion i have mine.

BTW, if you don't have to prove yourself on the internet, why should these blokes have too?

does that even make sense?? if it does someone please explain it to me cos this guy isn't making n e sense

Go stand in front of a mirror mate.

again, wat is that meant to mean?? all i would see is myself so wats ur point.[/quote]

[Tomas]

Everyone on here has exactly the same rights to post pics. I enjoyed watching them. Granted gus hucking a 30x30 is cooler, why put him down. He's putting in the effort to take/upload/post photos to amuse us. Its more than your doing. How about some constructive criticisim?

[roasted]

righto mungus...

1. He's new to riding. Lay off him.
2. He's riding. stop paying him out.
3. Look at the title of the thread. I know you werent expecting "gnarcore ><7r3m3 hux0r1ng", Just for a chance to victimise another bloke.
4. If you dont like it, dont bloody post! just say something like "I dont realy like drops to flat, but keep it up". The guy states clearly that its small, and that he is new to riding.
5. well umm....















asshat.

[hursty]

yeah mungus you mongrel

[MUNGUS]

watever

[mtbmx]

everyone stop havin a cry who cares if mungus doesnt like it then he doesnt like it people post to see wwat people think of thier pics. if you saw a pic on farkin off a kid hucking a gutter would you ssay heaps mad dude keep up the good work no ud say someting else like thats ok umm yeah :roll: so maybe that wall seems small to mungus and seems like a jaw drop to you but who cares you post to give ure opinon on it so stop having a wang

[LTR]

Well i reckon its pretty large... well done mate!

[_J_]

thats just a huck to SPLAT :shock:

[johnny]

fine ride wat u want but y bother posting up pics of some gay drop?? post pics if they r good and worth looking at. i could post pics of myself but i can't be fucked, if u want some that bad i'll pm them to ya but i don't need to prove myself on the internet.

Mungus I'll try to answer you without getting all worked up like last time. Your first sentence: Y bother posting pics? Because people like me wanna see 'em. Judging by the multitude of positive responses, so do many other people. "gay drop??" I bet that drop wasn't so gay to you when you first started riding, allow others their learning curve too, and if they wanna post them, I wanna see 'em. Second sentence: if they are good and worth looking at, who are you to say what's good and worth it, I don't see moderator or administrater under your name..... Third sentence: but I can't be fucked, well other people can, that's what this section of the forums is for. No one is forcing you to browse it! but I don't need to prove myself on the internet, but you are quite happy to use the net to put others down, how cool :roll:

Dude, you don't have to appreciate other peoples efforts, and you don't have to hack on them from a safe anonymous distance either. It's funny how people become that little bit more confident and outspoken when they don't have to face someone (yeah I understand the irony of hacking on some one on the net for hacking on some one on the net....). You don't own or moderate this site so why do you think you can tell people what they are allowd to put in the pics section? Yeah I know I don't either, but I'm only suggesting you be decent and encouraging instead of a faceless bigshot/hero.

Judging by the responses here, I don't think I'm in a minority opinion...

So as I said go take a look in a mirror......so you can see where the problem is.

PS If some dude posted a pick of himself dropping off a gutter I wouldn't think "oh derr" I'd have a gigle and think back to when I thought that was cool too. The main reason people hack on others is to draw attention to themselves. Mungus, by the sounds of what people are saying you sound like you can ride like the clappers. Good luck to ya, but you started somewhere, and thought you were shit hot then too. Be cool man, and let others be cool :wink:

[roasted]

ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!!!

thank you for that johnny.

[BiG BirD]

i can still remeber the time i did my first 5 foot drop i was shaking after it. :oops: i was so stoked at it.

keep sending the pics! no shame in being new to riding. and keep it up regardless of what people say.

[MUNGUS]

fine, i really don't care that much n e more. just find it bizare how when i post my opinion, which might not be positive, ppl start having a go at me cos it doesn't agree with their opion on something. Maybe i just tell ppl wat i think, i dunno, but i'm not going to put on some little act and say"oh thats awesome!! post more pls!!" if i don't view it that way. I'm not trying to be a big hero in this at all. dunno where u got that from. they posted a pic, i said it wasn't that speacial and then everyone gets stuck into me. i stick by wat i said no matter wat the rest of u think. i am buggered if i know how my riding comes into this at all but i don't think it matters, all i said was wat i thought of the pics which is y they were there in the first place

[bazza]

awesome bro. what suburb are you living at? i saw a nice looking construction area in between these two suburbs. same name different last bit. ah thats right trinity beach and trinity park. is that where your place is? anyway have fun riding and i might see you racing sometime soon.

[BiG BirD]

all i said was wat i thought of the pics which is y they were there in the first place

i know its your option and yeah its not amazing drop as i look at it, but hey when i started i had no skill and would have taken ages to get the balls to do a drop like that. everyone starts from the same point EVEN you.

if you think its crap express it differently. your just making yourself look like a tool.

[johnny]

i can still remeber the time i did my first 5 foot drop i was shaking after it. :oops: i was so stoked at it.

:D Yeah man, I remember my first wall ride and I'm still stoked (that's cause it was only two days ago) :lol: :lol:

[Tomas]

Or back when you had just started, stacking off the small log jups and little jumps.

[Butch]

nice work , when i did my first 5 footer on a fluid 3 ,i felt over joyed , keep up the good work man , dont let downies put u down , also u might wanna get some shinnies , pedals kinda tear the crap out of ur shins

[Ryan]

Lets make this totally clear for you MUNGUS,

We've never allowed people to hack on newb's on these forums, because it discourages people from posting their photos and stops them from coming back. These forums are meant to be a community, not a place for internet tough guys to prove how much better they are than new riders by slagging on the pictures they post.

If you want a forum where you can anonymously hack on people from a safe distance without people questioning you by all means fuck off and join;

http://www.pinkbike.com or
http://www.nsmb.com

Stop trying to defend your position. It's indefensible. You acted like a dick and in trying to argue your way out of it, you've made yourself look like more of one. Take your medicine, build a bridge and get over it.

[Dreggsy]

Good on you for posting your pics.
nice to see your triing new stuff.
younever know by posting pics like that
some of the better riders might be able to help you out
by telling you that you if you are in the wrong position or the like.
keep up the good work and remember start off small and slowly move your way up the wall to the higher section.

now go practice your manuals.............

[hursty]

iv been off the highest part
just had the very front of my shoe just on the pedal so it wasnt a nice landing

[Scully]

Yer I have shinnies but they were round the frame i think. wasn't to bothered bout wearing em but. Yeah I hit that other gap which was about a 2m drop and 2m in lenght across. little bit of a sketchy landing but hey I pulled it off so I did it again and again.

Pics?

Couldn't pass that one up :P

[Scully]

nup but i promise to take some on sunday. was on me own until me mate turned up and didn't have a camera with me anyway.

But the next time i take pics it will be on me parents good digi camera and they will be clear as.

[Byatch]

more power to you fellas.
i'd be stoked with a 1.8m drop.

now all you need to find is a 2 metre drop.......

btw, the shinnies help nil when they are around the frame. unless you want to protect the frame's shins......
