1 ft closer to my New Years’ resolution
January 5, 2008
I made quite a few resolutions just before the turn of the new year, and one of them was to do a 5 ft drop at Gangsa. It sounds pretty ridiculous now, but if I don’t set the bar high, I won’t push myself.
Today, I’m proud to be one step closer to achieving that. I am clearing the 1 foot drop with ease. Now, to go a little faster, and I’ll move on to the 3 ft drop.
Raaaaaaaaaaa……

kuen: a bit…. but those are the only heights available at the moment at the dirt jump area. 1,3,5,and 8 i think.
iwantatibike: the picture made it look fierce, it’s not that difficult actually.
waynep: yes yes, photography level 2. you’ve improved…

woooo… its a good start. try to lower your seat next time, it would be easier to handle if u miss cue… try to lean back abit more, if u r dropping 3 feet or more try to land both wheels at the same time..
yea… have Fun!!

cheryl: i’ll try to go down on sundays with wayne. Wayne’s resolution is to do down to gangsa more often.
passerby: thanks for the tips! yeah, i’m trying to master the 1 ft, gain the confidence, go a bit faster before attempting 3 ft.

I’ll probably give the 1ft a try - Thought about it extensively (that’s how scared I am) after we saw it the other day….
I don’t think I’ll want to try the 5ft one though.. As Chi says, I’m into ’self preservation’… HAHA!

hmmm… maybe you can ride a little faster so that you’ll not have too much impact on your front wheel when you land. Drops are very tricky cos if you’re too fast you might lose control when you touch down, but if you’re too slow….its going to be real bad.
