Cool Shawn! The height of the obstacle is large, however. but for me, the height of such an obstacle is not yet real. by the way, I posted a video where I hop over logs, as you taught.
awesome to see how much you are improving throughout your videos. where are you from because it doesn't seem like you have a vast number of streams and natural hills. doing an awesome job though. keep up the hard work and looking forward to the next upload
U.S. Indiana. We mostly compete in Michigan, but we did just compete in an event in the southern part of our state. Riding the slick rock and hills there was a challenge, but a lot of fun !
Yeah I tried a bit too hard to save the bike this time lol. I was hoping to drop down and spin the bike around. Works great,except when your foot gets caught on the bike and you go down with it ha ha. Yes always learning ! I'm working on a vid from last weekend, but if you check out 1st year moto trials channel you will see some good moments of "learning" from both him and I this last weekend. :)
Awesome stuff mate. That failed attempt would be because of the lack of approach speed and the small wobble. Not having a go at you just trying to help. Bloody massive steps 😎👌
Sam no worries :) . Love the feedback and discussion ! The one thing(I'll reply in the private group too for discussion and learning sake) I'll disagree with or clarify rather would be approach speed. Pre-GO for something like this I don't think approach speed matters all that much. Well other than for a low end rider like myself where speed = balance and I need all the help I can get there. Post GO yeah I had too low of RPM ( so too little energy/lift/momentum) and combined with poor body timing and the slight wobble yup that's what did me in. The vertical part of the wall is smaller than mine at home, and this had a nice ramp to redirect you upwards. That said because of the terrain the wall appears much taller then my wall, got in my head, and I fell apart on my timing and revs the first few times due to lack of understanding and commitment.
@@sambrown1779 none taken Sam. Like I said discussion is great and the more we voice opinions the more we learn and the more we all have a chance at understanding things better :). Fundamentally everything you thought watching was right on :) the difference being( and I hope Neil will speak up and clarify for sure on the group page) would be speed before GO vs after GO. To much forward speed pre-GO would mean less snap out of the clutch pop, slower rotation of the front wheel as the energy would transfer to more momentum forward vs more lift, and a greater chance of rebounding off the face, or causing the bash to hit because of more forward energy vs more upward energy. At least in my mind which may very well be incorrect. Honestly though Sam never worry about offending me or hurting my feelings. I love the comments and the chance to really think things out. Please always speak your mind freely in all things. Again the more we talk through stuff be it trials or all the other cray-zness in the world the more we learn,grow, and understand :) .
..and you didn’t even swear!
Lol!
recomend you to go faster mate, but nice job

Awesome! I will be sure to check it out 😁.

Nice to see how you bailed out. I probably would have frozen, stuck gripping the handlebars for dear life. Learning, learning all the time!

@@shawnmcginnis2508 yeah sorry. Just what I thought when I watched it. No offence meant ✌️👍
