lol at atx john. if you wanna hardcore huck it lauch it and no-footer to flat but otherwise try and get a little speed into it so you have a lesser chance at nose-diving it.atxjohn said:hmm i guess you will get closer to being a girl if u dont drop to downslopes. :? what ever floats ure boat buddyandrew said:trannys are for girlsBender is CRAZY said::?: How do you land a drop to a tranny, on a hardtail.

(dansitions = dangerous dan's stunts with almost uphill landings off 20ft north shore drops)
yeah chewy nailed it, regardless of what some people have said here, there are different techniques for different style drops. it is much better to start small, learn the technique and then move up in size. perhaps watch a mate who has done it already and watch his body english over the bike and visualize yourself doing it first. and what ever you do don't panic once you drop off, panic seizes the mind and you can't react to whats happening.CHEWY said:thats a decent sized drop for ur first time, id suggest doin some smaller ones first, and make sure u have a feel for how much u have to pull up at different speeds. it may sound stupid but its probably better to get a feel for it by droppin off curbs and trying to land both wheels flatBender is CRAZY said:The drop is probably 1.25 metres to 1.5 metres, and it will be my first
yeah that's a wheelie drop, more trials style. you need momentum off bigger drops to land smoothly. to try and explain technique is tough. the best thing might be to get some videos and watch what they do and take note of the drops size and set up etc. perhaps put two pinic tables together to give yourself some rolling room. with enough momentum and droping your arse off the back of the seat without pulling up too hard you should get the feel. find a small natural drop with an tranny to practice dropin to tranny. good luck, you'll get it. just be patient.Mahoney_007 said:what about smallish drops with no run ups? (eg) picinic tables. I did my 1st decent drop of a picinic table yesterday (only about 3 foot or so) but the bike only just fitted on the table, wheels were touching either edge, i just sat on the seat a wheelied off the end.
I got to thinking maybe that technique isnt the best since if i go bigger i will probably want to lower the seat, if the seat gets to low i cant stand it on its arse as good (unless I stand on the pedals) and i dont really want to go trials style with the bike hanging fully vertical below me?
Any comments?
