mr neutron Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Nice work (again!), Mokwepa!!! Any chance on one of the longer logs that you can hop up on it, and then ride the length of it, and hop off? I have an old maple tree I decided to save from being firewood that I attempt that on. It's close to the same diameter as my front wheel. Makes a nice balance & double blip (to get up on it) practice drill.... Jimmie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 HOPS?........Dont mind if I do (and Katie of course) .........Cheers boyz! Mr N, I am able to ride along my bigger log quite easily so what I now do is ride up my smaler tire then onto and along 2 Bruno busting drums () and onto my concrete basin and hop off.

mokwepa Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hi Rob214 Ive known Katie for 10 years, we go waaaay back. Shes been through hell and back and is still a trooper, never passing up a cold one My pops had a ride today, well chuffed with the old man. He did some fig 8s in the garden and just had a play. Weve been warned that our next trial this sunday is tougher getting from section to section compared to riding a section. Its held in magaliesburg were they hold our nationals and is apparently the meca of trials spots in my country. Hence the excitement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasgasturners13 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Wow, just read all of this and watched all of your vids Mok, Absolutely great progress! I wish i had somewhere like you to train! I only get out properly once a week which in all fairness really isn't good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Howdy guys I had a great ride today after a 6 hour gamedrive. Im a bit buggered now but I had that good feeling when I hit the kill switch for the last time. A buddy was watching and took the vid so I had some inspiration to try a little harder. I got 4 more telephone poles and used 2 to make a ramp but im not sure what to do with the other 2? This vid is a truer representation of how I ride, nothing fancy and also no cutting out bloopers, just a short ride and a start stop on the cells video camera, no cutting or editing at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy100 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Some sweet riding there! The progress being made is outstanding! I just wish i could practice like you can, even just three times a week would be good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I had my firts spectator today but he thought I rode like k@p so just strolled on by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy100 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Wow, seems like such a beautiful place to live! An area to ride, a place to live and a surrounding of some outstanding animals! Very rude of him to not stay for the whole show though!

mokwepa Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Betaboy: hi, how you liking the 2011 290? That bike is my plan for next year when I get some tom together. My plan is to learn on my current 07 then get into the current decade and try creep forward to a todays bike. I never thought I would gain the enthusiasm at the age of 31 that I had at the age of 5. This trials thing is awesome and can be done as a one man sport. Im loving it. Mr N, here is my balancing act that ive set up. I had some shockers to the bash plate a fewr times today but this vid is cut and shows what im hoping to do each time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy100 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Finding it great, in fact i have only rode it twice! I just can't get out on it, i have no where to go! Here in the UK it is really hard to find somewhere to practice and the garden isn't big enough so i am a little stuck:( But the bike itself is great! Just wish i could ride it more!
