mokwepa Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Everything I hunt gets eaten. Those horns were cleaned up but is not considered a trophy but it is to me. Ive hunted with every weapon under the sun and am currently keen on hunting with a spear but am yet to be successful. Im a patient guy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Messed around with the basics again, doing lock turn zig zags along a very worn down road. The closest I have to pracrice camberd turns. I go as slow as I possibly can and pause when the front is in the dips and pause at the apex of the turn. Also gave bunny hopping a try. Low for now but managed one or two decent ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr neutron Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Good turn practice drills, Mokwepa!! Keep that up! That looks like pretty tight turning, and you have a bit of uneven, up & down hill terrain to make it more difficult. Cool! To me, your Bunny Hop looks better than what I do. I still have trouble getting decent height out of my Bunny Hops most of the time, and doing them wrong as I do wears me out quickly.... In the Ryan Young video, he breaks it down into the details of a Bunny Hop very well. But that part about jumping forward and kinda pulling the bars with you (paraphrasing here) is where I really screw up. My jump trajectory probably doesn't resemble "an arch" (arc?), as Ryan says it should look. Uncontrolled floundering most likely....... But I can see where getting this technique would be helpful for other techniques, like the Jap Zap maybe. And it is a nice way to clear smallish logs that lay across the trails in between sections & etc.. Jimmie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Morning. I did a few that felt really good and looking at my tracks in the sand, my distance is about a meter that both my wheels are off the ground. Im attempting to do the same thing but land on the back wheel. Almost like a rear wheel hop but on a weelie. I just cant get the hack to come up though.

mokwepa Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Had a quick bugger around now.....starting to get some decent hight with my bunny hops. What ive also been doing is every now and then im practicing hopping the front wheel. My theory is that it should be relatively easy to learn but give you a major advantage setting up for lines or obstacles even at clubman level where hopping is not required. Today it kinda came together.....doing a endo and swinging the back out to the right then following up with 2 or 3 front hops to the left, I can turn 90 degrees on the spot. I can only do it to the left for now and only get it right about 50% of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
