hiya! for Oliver looks like more of timing issue, and not high enough revs when dumping the clutch. When his front wheel touches the log he is still in movement forward, when he should already be jumping off the pegs and up (like you do) and dumping the clutch hard with high revs. keep up the good work!
During the slow motion part of the video, it's hard to understand the timing of the blips and the release of the clutch. I think that's one of the areas where I struggle.
It is very hard and timing is extremely precise. It has taken me months to sorta kinda learn it. I will say I originally thought it better to try it on "bigger" logs knee high to waist high due to them having a bigger area to impact the front tire. It takes a huge effort on the jump and really commiting to letting the front end compress. So I found that learning on 6-12 inch logs where the bike could land front wheel on top in a more vertical motion was better even though the target was smaller. On the smaller stuff gravity helps compress the front end and rear end as the front end touches down on the log which then in turn allows you to focus less on the compression and much more on throttle/clutch timing and your hop up. Lastly I'll add go SLOW. It seems at least for me I needed to go much slower than I thought on the approach. On the small logs you should be almost stopped when the front tire touches. If you arent you will roll off before you can react with your hop and clutch drop. Good luck and remember this is one of those techniques that really comes down to milliseconds perfect timing instead of just half second perfect timing lol !
Oh and the newest vid on my page shows the largest log I've worked up to and has both normal speed and slowmo if you want to take a look. I have since learned to be able to hold the front end level on the back side, and am currently working on being able to hold it up high. Good luck !
Thank's
Very good editing
You keep things simple
Both of you are very good and have a maturing technic that help me a lot in my achievement.
Finally someone explain it in real slo-mo! thank you!
Very nice explanation! Will you publish next videos like this with that nice explanation of common mistakes and how that should be done properly?
Do you live near Gdańsk? If so, I would be happy to join your practice for a while just to observe how you ride and learn from you.
Thank you for your help
Your best vid yet!
very nice video thanks 👍👍👍👌👌👌
