Highside No#2

NC · 25th February 2005, 09:11

I achived my goal of full pulling the NC30 apart so I could fix it with the help of my sidekick, MrMelon (he does most of the work, I just stand there and look stupid) Anyway, I have been riding the dyrty ole BMX to work. The last time I did this, I highsided my BMX and had 6 weeks off work to nurse my knee back to heath (it's still not right

) Anyway I did it again, but this time I did my wrist...lol hurts like a mutha bitch..

I think it's karma, cause I have been getting better at doing jumps...not wheelies though

Starter motor, clutch (hamburger) forks and just a general paint and polish.

syncronising the screw things?

In my experience, not many people know what they are doing when fiddling with womens "synchronising things".

The fact that NC30 "just stood there and looked stupid", means they weren't being fiddled with properly.

Take care of that wrist NC, as you know they need to heal properly, or they'll give you probs later!

How do you high side a BMX? Was that on dirt or tarseal? Wet or dry?

Even on my MTB, once when I've taken a sharp turn on dry tarseal when going pretty quick, the rear wheel slid just from the corner speed and lean angle, it still came around nicely cause there was no power (turning the rear wheel wheel) involved.

Or was that like landing a jump wrong and you ended up going over the bars?

P.S. Sorry to hear about the injury. Hope you heal well and fast.

i nearly did it once, fanging it in the rain running late for a ferry when i was bikeless, cut hard left the wrong way into a one way street tryres caught a big white turning arrow and decided to completly loose traction was thinking it was going to lowside, but slid right across the arrow and some slippery seal then gripped in the gutter/curb and bucked around only just holding on
