I went to Swinley, however I think I will try somewhere in Kent this coming weekend - Swinley takes an hour to drive too, and then two hours to drive home from, and the driving to riding ratio is not great.
I rode the Scalpel into town this morning, dropped it off at LMNH for a suspension service with Mario.
On the way I entertained myself by jumping over sleeping policemen, different coloured bits of tarmac etc. I noticed that my hop technique has a glaring problem- pump the bars, pop the front wheel as I move my weight back, as the rear wheel comes to the obstacle rather then jumping up and bringing the whole bike with me I pull my feet up under me. This brings the rear wheel up and clears the obstacle, but means I don't get anywhere near the height that I could do.
How do I break myself out of the habit that I have formed?
