NEW VIDEO: I learned new stuff! (Quickie)

If it makes an old man like you feel any better, you're better than I
am! 🙂 Congrats on both of your newfound skills!

I seriously doubt that! I know it's the other way around, but thanks for
lying to make me feel better! Lol!😄

Nah man, I'm seriously one of the slowest learners of my age group. Been
riding for almost 9 months, and still haven't messed with crank grabs
or kickup mounts. I just like riding (plus I hate heat).

I hear ya. I hate hot weather riding too! AndI also like simply getting
on my muni and simply rollin' down a non-tecky single track for miles
and miles while taking in the views!🙂

hey nice job. The kick up mount is alot of fun and looks very impressive
to non riders.

That crank grab with going to rubber, will let you do ALOT more trials
lines that have high jumps. I am looking forward to seeing some in your
next video😉 .

I still can't keep my balance well enough to do a *pedal* grab to
rubber; the crank grab is way more stable for me at this point, but I
really want to learn the pedal grab next.😄

Nice progress Terry. My only wish is that I lived closer to you so that
I could ride with you sometime. I'm going to have to try both of these
the next time I'm out riding. If one old dog can learn these tricks,
this dog should be able to learn them also. Really enjoy your videos.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll bet you could learn *both* of those things after a
little practice. For me, it was mostly thinking that I couldn't do it
so why try! Then I just decided to go for it. That kick up took me
waaaaay more than four attempts (as in the video's subtitle, "fourth
time's the charm!) to land it. Probably more like 50! That I couldn't
do the crank grab to rubber was also all in my head. I thought that
since I couldn't compress the tire, how could I jump up! The hard part
was learning to keep my balance once I landed on the object, by keeping
most of my weight on my left side. Also, I'm old so part of it was that
I was afraid to fall and get hurt! Again, I just went for it.😄 Now go
out there and try it!:p And then post a video! Good luck...you can do
it!

don't think of it as being old, think of it as being 'well matured' or
'wise' compared to geological time you're probly less then a
millasecond! any ways you should make a longer trials vid now that
you've mastered the force.

EDIT: sorry I ment crank grab

That's a cool way spin it!😄 I gotta remember that!🙂 I'm gonna put
together a trialsy type course in my backyard-that way I can, (and no
doubt _will_) make tons of mistakes that (hopefully) nobody else will
have the misfortune to witness!

I can't do a kickup mount either 🙁

I can go from pedal/crank to rubber though.

Nice job on mastering *-both-*, Terry!
