A yardie is short for Yard glass which is filled with beer and drunk to celebrate you 21st usually about 2.5 litres take about 3minutes to drink But I have seen one done in a minute. Mainly a english and colonies tradition sorry.
Don't wheelie drop unless you have to just drop and position you weight better start off with curbs and progress from there or you can bunny hop off which can put you in a better postion ( some people do tend to loop out on landing. a wheelie drop is wasted on a bmx as they are more manuevorable.
My back trail x4 is about 33lbs without pegs it has 48's but tubular cranks and is is said to be light by other riders standards.
Happy 21st Hacim are you going to do a yardie.
Sounds like something In your metabolism is out of kilter as All though you are exercising at Quite high intensities you are not refueling you glycogen using your fat stores. Try some lower intesity exercise and perhaps eat more fat (good stuff though) Perhaps this will reestablish your fat...
When you guy's talk about finding a new max in Races, there is another factor you must consider which is cardiac drift where hr even max increases as the blood gets thinner due to dehydration.
A Heart rate monitor is a useful tool but is just that a tool, They are best used as a guide but they...
you are probably performing the valsalva Maneuver which is natural and safe (unless you are elderly or have blood pressure problems) some point in the squat you are closing your glotus(?) and exhaling from the diaphram to strengthen your abdominal area, This will make you feel dizzy as It...
Cheers for the advice I think I'll try training with contacts in so I don't have any "suprise's" on the day. I'm aiming to have fun but I wouldn't mind making the top 3rd of the Individual's so I'm training Pretty seriously.
I am considering doing an Xterra festival with a 1km swim 30km mtb and 11km run. one of the main things I am worried about is that My eyesight could be a lot better and I need to wear my contacts but don't they get all messed up and fall Out in the water. Is there a way that I can wear them...
I've rolled my ankle pretty badly about three times now remeber
R.I.C.E. and as Giantdhrider said get a brace. When it heals up and the swelling is down you might want to work on your flexibility with stretches or you will risk further injury.
yep I got a pair they came stock on my backtrail x4 they seem pretty sweet but then I don't go very big but do weigh a lot so they should be right. I think they are probably the same as mx-22 but OEM.
180pounds i'm not v/good with imperial or what ever but is that about 90kg you are probably big enough to def consider 14mm as a good idea. but then at the end of the day it still comes down to smoothness etc my friend ways bout 75kg and he used to replace 3/8 axles almost monthly. there is...
If you do find the axles do break in the rear because it is still a 3/8's at least you have the option of buying a proper rear wheel = 14mm with strong axles, have fun on your bike.
Exactly right pnj weight has nothing to do with it when it comes to manuals my bmx weighs about 35lbs at the moment and that is stripped.
to make manuals easier to do you could try to put your bars back a bit my preference is about an inch back from directly in line with your fork this makes...
3/8 are allright but it really does depend on how smooth you are as a rider. But for me 14mm or nothing as I way 105kg even though I don't go to big because I suck.
How is the rear axle converted? is it a thread on 14mm converter thing that goes on the 3/8's axle or someting else.
just play around and try out stuff that you feel comfortable with when I was learning to manual I would try for one carpark space and then 2 etc or for bunny hopping put something down and try and jump over it my personal preference is sun bathing chicks or empty beer cans
nice looking trails you got there. keep them secret or they might get plowed as ours did because little groms started blabbing and mums started worring, so diggers started destroying and riders started crying.
