we took a few bob cat buckets of dirt out of the side of and old shitter downy and it made like a massive bowl in the side... used it as a burm for a while and then just hit it faster and faster and climbed higher into it each time till we were horizontal. Only tip i can think of is pretty self explanitory i guess and thats to make sure you stay commited the whole way through but that goes with anything on 2 wheels... :type:

You dont know about my riding ability. I might not be able to build anything if my life depended on it but i might be able to ride a bike really really well.

uncalled for mate.
y doesn't some one just help him out instead of posting unnecessary shit!
heres some info i found, hope it helps.
Step1
Adjust your approach speed for the desired height. The higher and further you want to ride, the more momentum you will need when you reach the ramp. The wheels should make smooth contact with the ramp instead of smacking it.
Step2
Crouch progressively lower as you go up the ramp. This will allow you to tilt your bike so that it is as close to the perpendicular of the surface. Think of the wall as a steep slope with a sharp bend in it.
Step3
Follow an imaginary parabolic curve as you go higher and lose speed. Continue to crouch lower and combine the momentum with the tilt of the bike to maintain your grip on the surface.
Step4
Extend from a crouching position as you reach the highest point on the wall. This will allow you to keep pressure on the wall as you come down.
Step5
Ride down if the wall is not too steep. Otherwise, you will need to pull the bars so the front wheels come off the wall.
Step6
Adjust the bike's tilt to vertical as soon as the rear wheel loses contact with the wall and realign it so you face the exit and land clean.

Maybe he's a decent rider, but is unsure of how to go about this, and was hoping he could learn from someone on here who has wallrides dialled. If someone is asking for help, and you aren't gonna offer advice - instead of having a go at them, just don't say anything at all. Also, some of the most helpful riding tips i've gotten, have been from so called "randoms" on here.
