Haven't had time to ride for two weeks as I had to write my thesis... Went out today and it was raining. I still like this bike more than any bike I've ridden so far. I tried to do small up to fronts out of a bunny hop and it didn't take me long to figure out how this works. I have to get the technique dialed a bit more and then I'll go over to some higher walls.

I went out on a mission to see how high I can really bunny hop onto something. I ended up at 75cm which is more than I expected. I think I can even go higher but as it always is, it's not so much a matter of being able to do it rather than having the fear of actually doing it.

I got myself an Inspired Fourplay. 

This is the result of the first proper ride with this bike. I f**king love it. Even just cruising around the skate park is more fun than the TGS I attempted to do these past months. I have to admit though that sidehops and gaps are horrible in comparison to my Rockman.

I am still getting my bunny hops back. This is why I didn't go to a higher wall. I want to get the technique dialed first. I can probably jump to rear twice the height of the bunny hop onto the wall (which isn't really high anyways :D).

Manuals are kinda weird as I keep falling backwards and have to pull the brake. Problem is that the MT5 with Trialtech pads is so strong that between slightly slowing down during a manual and blocking the rear wheel is just 1mm lever pull.
