Actually it looks like he might live. Who is that? It's pretty big.

[Battlecat]

That looks like a really fun road gap

was he trying to 360 it?

that would be rather large

[Shocker]

i've spent so long trying to figure out how you got yourself in that situation...but i cant soooo what exactly went wrong?

[SEKTER13]

Well from "what a 3 is not supposed to look like" im gonna take a guess and say he started to bail before he got the rotation around, is the rider ok?

[Troup]

but i cant soooo what exactly went wrong?
What do you mean?

[Shocker]

well looking from the pic, it looks like the bikes upside down and hes still holding onto the bars... thats why im confused.

[Squampton]

yeah i'm confused too. I've look at the vid of it and some vid caps and basically what happen was that the run up was very short, the ladder to short and slightly downhill. So i had very little set up time and when i went to rotate instead of spinning flat or nose down the front end came up and i bailed after getting just past 180 cause i wasn't feeling the rotation. i tried it twice and got the same result.

[Squampton]

oh, i get it, look really closely, the bike is upside down but it is closer to the rider. i'm not holding the bars, the bike is just falling like that

[Squampton]

here are some vid caps

Who were you filming with? Wasn't sure if Warwick and Ted were still doing mtb films...

[Painting_of_Rebelion]

it looks like you're leading with your head by pulling your chin up... try tucking your chin in and down and "through your left armpit... I'd almost say that even tho it's gonna feel totaly counter intuitive, you need to be pushing the nose down as you come off, and pull more with the right hand than the leftto keep the bike a bit flatter... all just suggestions and things I found when trying to get 3's down...

that's one balsy trick IMO, but it looks sick... congrats and keep at'r cause it's gonna be sweet when you nail it.

cheers

Dave.

[Squampton]

its really just lack of set up time, otherwise it usually spins flat and easy. And ted has branched out on his own

[menehune]

thanks for the update.
