Message: [QUOTE="wayneg, post: 728737, member: 24675"] What about totally flipping the bike?? This shouldn't be counted as the bike fell over itself?? Ha! No I don't fall off so much as you describe, but do tip over a lot. I used to go over the handlebars quite a lot, but since I bought a fork brace (USD forks!) I can't even seem to do that very well any more. Being the sort of person that I am, I still count the minor tip overs as I have a reputation to uphold. I usually only get to ride a couple of times each month, but will be riding a bit more regularly this year because of my enthusiastic brother (shiny new bike :whiner: ), and because we have a better calendar of events this year. For example we have one full trial, one two day trail ride and a twlight trial this month. Also because I won't be going to our National Championships this year because its being held too far away, and I can't be bothered travelling that far - so I'm going to do a couple of the closer North Island Champ rounds instead, which are two day events. Hopefully all the extra practice will improve my skills - or maybe I'll just get more battered and bruised. One thing is certain though - I will need to work on bigger obstacles, because judging from the trial yesterday they are my major weak point, especially rain soaked slippery logs with no run up. :uh: [/QUOTE]
