Then move to the "unsafe" landing. The amount of lean and/or pull will vary depending on speed, approach angle, landing angle and lots of other things. But be sure to film it. If the video is spectacular you maybe be able to recoup some medial expenses with it. Oh, and stay in school! Matt |

If you're asking these questions, my advice would be to start with something smaller! Not that I drop off anything big these days, but photos of me 20 years ago show that I was leaning back and pulling up to keep the bike level in the air. That principle, in theory, should work whether it's a kerb you're dropping off or 5 ft. -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |
