After bloody Sunday almost two years ago, I just had a déjà vu.

I went back to this spot not having been there for almost half a year. Even though I spent time practicing other things. These gaps felt so much easier than last time. I also lost some of the fear I had doing the second gap. :)

Again, haven't been riding a lot lately. Actually, today was the second time this year as the weather wasn't quite for trials. During the dark days I went to the gym though and did a mixture of upper body strength, deadlifts and squats. I also lost the 3kg the last christmas cookie weighed. I also changed my diet in order to lose some more weight as I got some pounds more than I like.

This, and the new frame I got, made me get up my preferred sidehop wall better than ever. Even though I haven't been riding, I get up easier. I still have to get the technique done though.

I also began to practice sidehops off both wheels as I think that I can learn the basics of it more and faster and also get away with the bad habit of not letting open my rear brake long enough after the pedal kick.. Anyhow... here's the video.
