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. Hope you enjoy (the picture, if not the prolix post). Comments always welcome.
