have you told anyone that you did an up to rear wheel 45" high? ok, i'll tell them.
kevin did an "up" to rear wheel onto a ledge that was 45" high. nut job.

this is a shot of former world champ (only time rainbow stripes mean fookin manly as hell) Kenny Beleay of Belgium hooking something about 6 feet tall. French Crazy in the membrane rider Giacomo Coustellier has done an up this big to rear. when i saw stuff like this at worlds i crapped my pants. seriously it went in my eyes, my brain got what just happened and i just started pushing.
and here is a shot of Frenchie Magee- Vincent Hermance at the end of a hook to rear on a verticle wall in Paris. this one is at least 6 feet also.
ok, now i am depressed because i have reminded myself that my 45" to rear aint poop compared to the world class guys. too bad they wont even see it coming when i kick their butts.... in a few years.... yeah right. 
here is the shot of my previous biggest up taken by matt lovewell, i think it's already in here somewhere but it's a nice reminder of how hard it was and how easy it seems now! 42-43" tall.

and something funky but fresh- Josh Stevenson pulling something i did recently over a year ago! diggidy dope? i think so. crappy screen cap by me.
i forgot to add this- in uci trials rules your pedals/bashring/crank hitting is counted just the same as your foot going down. you take a dab for every time metal hits so they do everything all rubber. that means when they are hooking, they are only touching tires to the rock/wall. gnar. so gnar it makes me sick to think about it. i only have to go about 18 inches bigger to get to what they are doing! too bad that's a big 18 inches eh?
thanks spomer for the camera/other advice and for the big ups plug!

dude, you did FORTY FIVE INCHES!!! that's so sick regardless of frenchie le leeper!!!
could you just put rubber all over your bike so they couldn't count the metal-dabs? seriously.

also, how do you do a 6 foot up??? doesn't that mean your vertical leap is about 6 feet? that's recockulous! is his back wheel higher than his head when he puts the wheel down 
haha, good thinking on the rubber coated bike idea... but sadly uci would call that crap just like disk brakes in cx. lame.
for the peeps that dont get how a 6 foot up is do-able: when you slam your front wheel into the wall, it transfers the forward momentum into upward travel. so basically when you get four or more cranks in on a trials bike you are going full speed. if your timing is good and you dont die when your bars/fork/wheel explode when the front wheel hits you get launched up like a kicker... only there is no kicker. its hard and i still get dj pee pants scared at the move.
damn euros. some day i will be that good!!!! word shawn. i think i just got a gl-2...?

i see, so it's like riding up a 6 foot quarterpipe w/ 6 feet of vert an 0" transition
nutty...that vert slab hook thing is gnarprickulous!

Did you order it?!
i just blew way past broke about 9 hours ago. sick. now i just need another 700 for that darn lens.
spomer- you pretty much got it right with that description
here is an old school screen cap from the grommits (remember that movie? exactly.)
casey fukano at Cook park in south denver.
Well lets see here...current camera+ Lens+ ebay= New lens and maybe other toys!
ok, this isnt bike related but it is without a doubt the coolest thing i have done in weeks. months even. this is from my physics class today- we are learning harmonics here is as good of an explanation as i can come up with: an oscilloscope is a device used to measure the frequency of sound waves. a small piezo electric crystal acts as a microphone and when it is impacted by sounds waves it its compressed and generates a very tiny electrical charge. this charge is measured by the machine and translated into a visual wave on the machine's screen. we got to mess with this thing today in physics we were supposed to find out the frequencies of various tuning forks for this lab. needless to say i didnt do that. here is a screen shot from the program we were using of what a small piece of a fart looks like to this machine... it was hilarious. i almost pissed my pants i was laughing so hard.
Hey, try an 888 fork and send us what that one looks like. Tip: It'll sound better without the axle in it.
Dave
i dont have an 888 but if i come across one i will try it. i did do it with a rock shox fork and it came out looking like this:
by the way- for the blind: that post is a joke.
BWWWWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

valentine's day is a descriminatory holiday. it helps to have a "significant other" or "better half" or what the hell else people call their special friend. shouldn't there be an anti-valentines day where all the single people get to be cool and crap? probably not. im just out of my mind because i spent hours today putting 7/8" holes in my rims- trust me, next seaosn on the world cup DH circuit all the playaz will be doing it.
