That's right, after all this time of trying my arse off to get my knee down, I've finally done it! And heaps of fun it was too.. Also, wheelies are coming along way better, but I got too cocky and fliped the bike. I was able to get the front wheel to stay up in the air for a bit longer than a 'jump', so I thought I’d give it a bloody good tug since half my problem is not giving enough balls.. So I did. And just as the revs went up and I tugged, the back of my mind thought – fuck, too much. Then it came up and disappeared while my hand was going for the back brake. Next thing I know, me knees and wrists get a beating, the helmet bounces down over my eyes and I see the bike bounce off.. And I’m on the floor.. Bugga. Was fuckin funny tho, and I will be doing more wheelies. Hopefully not as many flips tho, cos that kinda hurts. Thought it was a pretty good superman impression tho.
It's great that they're only mini motos! A bit of gravel rash, fires right back up and we're off.
Postie is holding the record tho, for the most 'off's'. Including the record for breaking something in the quickest time since we were kids. He found the only small pot hole in the road, ran over it, got a tank slap/speed wobble combo, and it was just all over rover.. kinda like that clip of the dude on the black bike in the Isle Of Mann TT that goes over the bridge and stacks it. Yup, that's Postie.. Also the first to get his knee down, and the first to fall off the most consistantly, but not for trying
WRT was also kind enough to pick us and the 3 motos up, and we all strolled off in search of the carpark we ended up at. Wearing his gear (as we all were), we decided to have a quick race. Bad idea when you've got a flat rear. But we did anyway. Coming into the last corner of the carpark, the peg digs in, and he and moto part company. Right in front of me. I got away with it, but pulled my leg a bit. WRT went for a wee roll, in his new jacket and managed to poke a few holes thru it and obtain a few bruises.. He has 3 jackets at home (one new and two old), and he brings his new one... durrr....
Anyway, that's been the shannigans of Postie, WRT and Buggy over the past couple of nights.. One thing that we really need tho, is a bloody good place to run them. We had a poke around some kart tracks, but they're all locked up pretty well. Most carparks are small and hazardous, so everyone else who has these, where do you run them? Wanna get together some time and show us how you fall?
don't know why we haven't got any shots of WRT btw..
