Here’s a cool action shot of me doing a tire grab on my coker. I think I got about a good foot off the ground.
I took the shot with my new digital cam that can take 5 quick burst shots on the timer. Again, I had to greatly reduce the resolution to post it here. I love my new toy!
Static. I’ll have to try it rolling also! Here’s a quick youtoobie of a few other shots. It was really took dark in my back yard so the best pic is the first one I posted.
Last pic of Morty was taken yesterday with the same camera.
It’s funny looking back at what I was saying in 5/06; I was really finding it hard to believe that anybody would/could ride a coker offroad, or do anything extreme with one! I’ve lived and learned haha!
You should be able to. Lower the saddle so you can get plenty of knee bend, reduce tire pressure to get some good “bounce”, and use at least 152mm cranks for good leverage. Then go for it!
Haha, I remember trying to convinced you to go with the airfoil rim (you did) because even though you claimed you were never going to go offroad with it I knew it would happen. Happy new year.
Great shot Terry. Congratulations on getting sponsored by 661, ADT, NO ING and Everlast. Did they pay for your new digital camera? Keep up the good work.
Here are a few taken today (1/1/08) by Rod Wiley, at a place in Chatsworth, CA, known as “Whiz bang”. Amazingly rocky/technical, with boulders of all sizes to hop on/off, gap…as far as the eye can see! You could spend a lifetime here and not do the same line twice!
This one is another coker tire grab overlooking the area.
