the Splatter

[typeone]

[Falko]

I assume the name comes from the aftermath should you screw it up?

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, I do not believe I will ever splatter.

[McBiggity]

Yeah, I do not believe I will ever splatter.

I have.
Well, my bike has. I was not still attached at the time.

[Paul_E_D]

I have.

Ha, I *may* have launched my bike over a rock without me a few times. So, the splatter is not hard, it's staying on the bike that is truly difficult.

[Chippertheripper]

I've seen this move a few times. And I've always wondered why the wayward bike and rider didn't just try for an easier line up/over/and around whatever was in their path.

As for actually trials riding my 300, I don't know if my wallet wants to support all the smashed pipes that would go along with the learning curve. Plus, I can't think of one place on the entire netra circuit where a platter move would be the faster line. Unless there was carnage stacked up at some stopper somewhere.

[Paul_E_D]

It's not for racing, it's for bragging rights. You have to admit that it looks impressive.

[Chippertheripper]

Certainly.
There are races where this is applicable, I'm sure, but I haven't ridden in any...yet.

[Imbeek]

Doesn't look like a very inviting place to land with his body if he screwed it up...bunch of sharp boulders

LOL totally F that even when I was younger and stupider (sic)

[Paul_E_D]

Certainly.

Do you even splatter, bro?

[Chippertheripper]

Do you even splatter, bro?

Once. I have just over 13yrs left in my legal obligation.

[Paul_E_D]

I'd say he can splatter

[typeone]

love the trials influence that has come to enduro/off-road over recent years. aggressive finesse

[breakdirt916]

wow, someday!

I love how much a bike is capable of...rider is really the limiting factor...you don't even needs a trials bike

and you know I wanna check out bishop...no CNG stations out there though...that's a "rent a truck or go with a friend" weekend

1. Hips in line with rear axle
2. Leg pump
3. Handful of throttle.
4. ???
5. Look for broken parts

I was in a trance watching the first video last night, as he's repeating the move over and over. I found myself slowly evolving mentally from 'no way' to 'eh, maybe I could try this once'. Then they went back to normal speed right at the end, and I realized I had completely forgotten it was slo-mo. My delusions of grandeur evaporated.

LOL, The move itself I have used many times, just not in the context of a tall rock in a pile of smaller rocks on which I have to stop.

A dragon's back on a MX track is a perfect example. Splatter over it but keep rolling. no risk of toppling like a jenga tower.

[carsick]

Who's got a boulder I can borrow??

[typeone]

i got a boulder you can borrow but you gotta find your own kicker.

[carsick]

I'll just use the last rider to try it.

[typeone]

[breakdirt916]

dang when you add in the sound n revvs you see how aggressive that finesse is!!

gotta commit...I'm out!

If you haven't watched the Jonny Walker segment in the Moto 6 film, then you are just doing it wrong.



I'm pretty sure that kid could ride a harley down the edge of a razor blade.

[Paul_E_D]

We'll just pretend we didn't see that.
