What these guys are doing is mild compared to what the best are doing in various "pro" competitions in the US. That's scary stuff.

Re: PESO - The Mount
The bike's moving longitudinally (in the same direction) to the rail. So the bike never "hits" the rail, just those big "pegs" sticking out from the wheel axles. cheers, frank On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 8:50 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > Actually I had this process in my imaginings.

Re: PESO - The Mount
Actually I had this process in my imaginings. I wasn't thinking in terms of pegs. Now tell me, if the bike hits the rail at a right angle, how does "the right peg slide up the rail?" If you've had enough of this Frank, just tell me so and I'll leave it there. :-)) Thanks!!

As you can see the left peg of the rear wheel will be on the rail. To get the right peg on the rail Mike has to bring the front wheel way above the rail and land it "just right" so that right peg slides up the rail. The end result is the rider sliding up the rail on his axle pegs, not using the pegs on the same side as usual, but on either side of his bike: http://mondociclismo.blogspot.ca/2015/06/mike-on-rail.html There's a name for this stunt but Mike hasn't answered my email request yet.

PESO - The Mount
This is not the best shot the day (I think that goes to Tailwhip, posted yesterday), but it's sort of a follow-up to Monday's Mike on the Rail: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/06/the-mount.html I was trying to explain to Jack why the stunt is hard, and maybe seeing how he has to mount does visually what I couldn't textually. As you can see the left peg of the rear wheel will be on the rail. To get the right peg on the rail Mike has to bring the front wheel way above the rail and land it "just right" so that right peg slides up the rail. The end result is the rider sliding up the rail on his axle pegs, not using the pegs on the same side as usual, but on either side of his bike: http://mondociclismo.blogspot.ca/2015/06/mike-on-rail.html There's a name for this stunt but Mike hasn't answered my email request yet.
