Last night, on Lower Road/Surrey Quaysish area, I saw a large pothole infront of me and lifted my front wheel as I normally do to avoid knackering my rim.
What actually happened is that my front AND rear wheels hopped about 5 or 6 inches off the ground and I cleared the pothole in entirey!
I wasn't sure this is what happened but when I got to the lights, somebody asked me how I did it.
Sadly, instead of looking cool all I could say was "I've no idea mate!"
So...how did I do it? I want to learn how to do it on demand...it was awesome!
Is it as easy as raising front wheel from road and then jumping off the cranks when they are horizontal?
