started riding the (small) kicker ramp... UK!

[teapot]

nothing special at all but here's a few pics of the first sessions on the kicker riding the klx. it was worth the wait been down twice for an hour or so... really predictable jump- although i still managed to land on my head and bend my gear lever and bars! just need some trails to keep it company now!

maybe some more gear?
and probably just keep riding it and push your self to got faster and move the ramp back more and more. once it gets back fr enuff u'll have enuf air time for some nice tricks

cheers brad, yeah definitely just learning to clear the thing before i try any tricks! hopefully have the crf50 on it soon the klx is just until thats ready.

i wear my knee/shin pads under me jeans and tech 2's, the body armour will go on when its a big enough distance to justify it
