Still trying to learns barspins and tailwhips tho... 

Backflip is done on a foampit, havent landed it to dirt yet, hope to do it at some point since i´m kind of a weekend rider, i go out 1 or 2 times a month hahahaha

[𝖙𝖋𝖈]

Nice, looks like fun trails.. Forget barspins and tailwhips!

I don't have any pics but I used to race BMX when I was young, then 24" dirt jumping, then back to BMX dirt park and street, then back to cruiser then MTB then BMX again.

I hurt myself too much, I realised I need my limbs to function for work or I'd be out of cash and unable to pay rent I do miss it though.

[Braap570]

Looks like fun trails dude!
I'm ridin' too. A few years ago mtb 4cross races and now i just wanted to fly some more...
Just bought the new Specialized P-Slope last year. Because of University i didnt came that often to ride, so ive no pics right now (but they will come )
Do you dirt jumping brakeless?!

[Mace-x]

@fats
Nice dude!
that´s why i keep it as a hobby, a mate of mine is super awesome riding but he has kind of a living of it, i dont, i´m a 3d artist so i rather keep it as a risky but kind of safe hobby xD
i do use my limbs but i´d really like some tailwhips and barspins hahahaha

@Braap570
wooow, specialized p-slope rocks, cant wait for pictures!
i wish i had money to buy something like that <3
yeah, i ride brakeless, it´s better, once you commited you cant bail or you go down hard hahahaha, it helped me alot.
altrought i did put a brake on to learn flips, they are fucking scary! hahaha

[teeds]

ehehe I'm no crazy air born dude like you Mace  , this is more me -



and a crap quality vid from a few years ago, but you get the idea -

Ski lifts - bliss

@teeds
that trail is looking like much fun!

@mace
i just ride brakeless in parks with my bmx... with my pslope my eggs are too small to ride without brakes

i just found a very very old little funny thing from me and me 2006 Specialized BigHit :

It was a bad idea at this time to ride there haha

lol, slippery but mostly soft   

[Mace-x]

@teeds
i´d love to ride trails like those, i live mostly on flat parts and downhill tracks are crap here, i wish we had a trail or something like that
looks like super fun with friends!

those parks with elevators and stuff must be a freaking dream!

@Braap570

lol, nice faceplant dude! xD

altrought if you use your pslope to trails/downhill you must ride with brakes, at least the rear one

[Mace-x]

second, landed a flip on my face and boom:


bye bye fork 

my face is ok tho, i guess i preffer to break my fork than my face hahahaha

Holy! Better that crack in your forks than your skull,  you must have hit hard man.

Anyway moving on .... So new forks then 

[Braap570]

So guys, i made a new pic of my speci pslope...

i like that sooo much with these halo whitewall tires.

in 2 days im ridin this beauty at the german fourcross championship.. ill try my best haha

[teeds]

Nice ride Braap, I was gonna say pity about the white walls but each to their own

Good luck with the 4x!

[𝖙𝖋𝖈]

Yeah good luck braap! Me and some friends used to ride a fair bit of BSX back in the day around the UK, not sure it's even called BSX anymore but it was 4x slalom / dual. Good times!

[Braap570]

thanks guys for your wishes, they helped!
as you can see it was unbelievable muddy and i only had one tire left who isnt a slick



and under these conditions i rode with my halo dirt tire on the back wheel and was the only ride in my age with a single speed bike :'D
so all the ppl thought: omg that will be an epic fail from him... but i tried my best, and in every race i made the second place. so i came (for the first time in my life) to the super final... was third there but got a damn blockpass in last corner.
so i endet up in 4th place in the german championship in my class and im super stoked!

[𝖙𝖋𝖈]

Wow congrats man! That's a great result.. Single speed all the way man I loved all my SS bikes over the 26" with gears.
