Looks fine. Reckon I would clean it every 2 out of 3 attempts. But would prefer to ride it on someone elses bike!
Reckon he's have cruised it if those wheels hadn't blinded him!
Sorry yes I did mean TEEJ. Mate lighten up were all in this together.
LOVE 2 WHEELS.
So you are thick as well ton?
Ever get the feeling you have been had?
TJ, i think the 😆 face gives away the fact that ton might be messing around? just a wild guesstimate here. dont take life to seriously, no one makes it out alive anyway 🙂
Sambob.
Every get the feeling you've been had?
Hmmm I dunno. Would be good to see it from another angle - difficult to judge the steepness.
He hits it at a fair pace and I wonder if that's cause it is too steep to control speed.
But like I say - difficult to judge on the video really.
Where is it ton? Leeds area (I'm local)?
could you ❓
No
Have you a vid of anyone actually getting down it Ton ?
Piece of piss.
lowey, you may get a chance to show me in the not too distant future 8)
Looks ridable, if a little slippery. I'd give it a shot. There's something vaguely similar up in the woods near me.
Oh go on then
No one seems to have got the fact I was on a wind up. Ton posts another ego stroking " look how gnarly me and my mates are" clip. My first post is a gentle tease
TJ
Ok - so video flattens everything but like your last one it doesn't look anything special.all rollable.
got any tough bits ton? Or is it all mincers like me?
Much as I thought Ton then has to come in attacking me saying how I couldn't ride it (Not that he attacked anyone who did say they could ride it).- not that I said I could of course. Then he has to try to justify saying how crap I am. I don't know why he sees me as such a threat.
Obviously I was too subtle. I knew Ton wouldn't get it but I thought others might
Pearls before swine
yeah right teej............. 🙄
TJ - wtf?
I'm not a fan of Ton's willy waving £££ posts but I didn't think this was one. Genuine question I thought, and looking at the vid the rideabiility is certainly debateable given others' contributions.
Then to get all uppity and backpedal that actually it is you that are the mastermind troll on out to wind up ton ???
Sorry but you are coming across as rather paranoid/stupid here.
and for the people who asked, it is in calderdale, nr crag vale.
Rode it on my unicycle, it's in Calderdale, nr Crag Vale. </end of thread>
banter banter banter...ho hum
I would have said last week.. yup.. and also the yup to the last vid.. BUT.. I failed very miserably and more than a few times on much lesser obstacles this week..
Rode it on my unicycle, it's in Calderdale, nr Crag Vale. </end of thread>
Unicycle is easier anyway, you don't have to deal with the seating/attachment/centre of balance changing as you go over 🙂
But back to reality...
Sections like that I find particularly easy, possibly my best bits, I can generally move around them fairly well and pick a good line. If you ask me to do a 2ft set of doubles I'll crash and burn, but technical downs are kind of my forte.
Unicycle is easier anyway
Agreed, it was toooo easy on my standard [i]uni[/i] rig so I removed the pedals and saddle to spice it up
😆
el_boufador - so you know my intention better than I do? As I said - too subtle perhaps.
nope, i couldnt ride that
I recon I could ride that...price of failure is (relatively) tiny. Why did he try to put his foot down?
[EDIT] okay, now I see. Looks like he came in a little fast and sort of pogoed on his front wheel (which must've been un-nerving) and then tried to bail...understandably.
I could flip that.
Could I ride that?.possibly.Would I ride it?.No chance,I may scratch my bike :-).Or,perish the thought,get it mucky 😆
The most important thing: Was his bike OK?!?
His bike wasn't ok at the start with those gopping coloured rims 😀
I would struggle walking down that 😯
I'm a singlespeeder.
I can ride anything... 😀
Would of been less bouncy if he went down on a pogo stick. Looks like he needs to set his shocks up right 😉
not my idea of fun riding, more akin to trials than a good sunday blast. fair play for having go though.
Helping to bring things back on track......
Could I ride it.....No
Would I like to give it ago.....Yes
Would it all end in tears and a trip to A&E.....Probably 😆
in answer to the original post
could i ride it? Yes?
Would i ride it? I'd have a go. If I fell off I'd have another go.
Would I film the TJ/Ton bumfest on the way? No. you're both as bad as each other.
Now calm it.
Probably
ould i ride it? I'd have a go. If I fell off I'd have another go.
😆 😆 Is there a day that goes by on a bike that you DONT fall off Chris? 😆 😆
Ps. Come on guys, some of the tags are abit harsh.
ton - just go away and stroke your ego elsewhere.
To be fair, it's Ton's thread.
Bloke tries to ride very difficult rocky chute.
Bloke falls off.
Bloke gets mocked for his choice of rims.
Other blokes argue pointlessly.
Only on STW eh?
Only on STW eh?
Wrong. We haven't gone completely off on a tangent for once!
He seems to leaning very far forward for a steep descent.
Nope, as before I would mince down it and probably end up the same way as the guy in the video!
Looks to me like he decided he wasn't going to make it after the first step & goes to put a foot down. From that point onwards, there was no way he was going to manage it, but also wasn't in a great position to stop gracefully.
That's the kind of thing that i do - shame he didn't fall to the opposite side though.
I would probably think about riding down it for 5 mins, get to the top a few times and stop, then just carry on the ride annoyed with myself for not having a go.
Aye, he lacked the commitment. Once you've started down something like that, you can't have a rest like this kid's trying to. I learnt that one the hard way!
Could I ride it? Yeah, probably
Funny, this is my favourite post
"He seems to be leaning very far forward for a steep descent"
WTF is that supposed to mean?
Id bet £50 that knowone on here could get down that, without bailing!
For the "one foot" guy it has a two foot step down onto another rock which at the same time you have to slide your back wheel down to the side to straighten up for the next big ****in rock!
stick to your trail centres!
best tag.......tj mcbackpeddle........pi55ing myself at that...... 😆
Possibly - have ridden down similar things in the past successfully. My first attempt would probably end up like his. Hard to say from that angle as everything looks different once your up on the bike.
Another 'could you ride this'
Yes. Whilst noshing bingo and fingering my bum riding backwards.
more importantly..is that Frank Skinner making a cameo appearance at the end of the vid?
