Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

[Mica]

Ok , so the awesome local council have finally finished a perfect wall ride on a new bikeway underpass. All things going well and it fucking cooling down in brissie late this arvo I will go smash it out and get some pics....

The ribs are ready for some more punishment, first ride back since the big off on the knolly about 4 weeks ago....

At God speed......

I know exactly where you're talking about....

I dream of a quality pump track appearing next to the dog park down there.

I'll keep my eye out for the tyre marks, I've been eyeing that off with some interest since I noticed it during construction

You are on it..... It is way too fucking hot to session it at the moment and there is a fair bit of vert on it too now that I had a closer look, really need the rubber to hook up, supposed to be cooler tomorrow and I get an early mark off work so could be the day to do it.....
And yes a pump track would be perfect there , natural slope even if wanted to incorporate in a build....
Perfect spot.

Yup, photos make the world spin around.

I know right? I'm sitting here with nothing better to do than scapegoat binners pics and it's killing me. I'm struggling to put the energy into my legs and walk up the street for a crepe.

I'd say excuse the crap photo but I don't mean it because I put down a whisky and picked up a bike on a rainy night for you guys so be happy you got anything....

just one thing missing from the photo...come on binner, we're waiting (which translates too "I'm too old and brittle to give it a go")

 

[pink poodle]

That wall is begging for it!!!

 

[Tubeless]

Mica, you've left your lights on...!

 

[Ultra Lord]

Looks sweet.

Hit eeeeeeeeeet.

Didn't take the whisky with you? Booze is what makes street riding.

 

[binner]

Picture perfect

Here it is in all its glory, really vert, really gotta have speed n momentum to do it.... It's K rad time....

 

[pink poodle]

Thanks for the pics! that thing looks sick. Is it ridged? or just some tricky light/paint? Might be a job for the bmx...

When doing a fakie, how can I keep myself from tipping to one side ? I'm still learning them, so I can really only get about 3 cranks in before I fall to one side--it's almost exclusively my left side. I am regular footed. My wheel base is fairly long for the bike but I can get over the axle easily enough. I just can't seem to keep upright. Any tips ? :help:

Can someone please do a huge huck to flat at railway square in Sydney CBD? The big kicker things that are at the start of the bus stop. I think of it every time.

If you're running brakes and not looking to roll backward for days, wheelstand to 180 and out. Also try pedalling forward with more force to pull the bike back up from falling left.

The big Junction of all major streets..? Damn intersection is always busy. I've wanted it for years. I often wonder about a 2am raid...will need a good night time camera.

 

[Ultra Lord]

You gotta time the traffic lights and hopecars stop. I did it once, they do.

Expect abuse.

Yeah. But you weren't weighed down by a bell and ID...

I'm thinking 2 flanking bikes as wingmen, timed lights, and heavy bus traffic (due to their slower acceleration).

Is the kicker smooth or a bit awkward?

I can provide accommodation withing close proximity....
You bring the stunts.
Yes the kicker is very smooth long easy down sloping run up to smooth landing on road.

I'd say it would be easily doable in the wee hours.

 

[pink poodle]

Accommodation? Do you work in a hospital..? I live on the train. I foresee a night run. The kind that finishes at city extra. Why city extra? Because nothing else is open!
