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?

is that not just a bunny hop?

Maybe! You tell me! I'm clueless. I normally try to keep both wheels on the road and spinning, or at least thats my normal riding strategy.
I think you overtook me just before this happened actually...it was around about 5.45 last night.

Besides, wasn't it you who had a minor oh shit moment with that oncoming bus on Tooley street a while back? I've already spotted you..you're old news now mate!

The higher the number is better?Lower number is better, as in road racing. Cat 1 > Cat 2 etc. There's a thread about it somewhere, but it's basically a kind of rep rating to inform buyers whether your for sale thread is likely to be straight.

Not my fault you didn't respond to my telepathic DAS. I'm starting to think you're not a Jedi.

I want an avatar of a squirrel. Not that one stop in the spokes. Just a squirrel that doesn't look lame. Anyone got anything?
(extra points if he's holding a polo mallet).

Went stale, am waiting til I can get (y)east for a hipper one.
Sorry to everyone for my outburst last night.
Neil - again I offer an apology to you, if you wish to chat and bury the hatchet please contact me.
I dont want to be having running battles with people on here any more.
Regards
James
