FS2019 Silly Rabbit Trix Pointless Prize

[drevil]

Biking’s more fun when you pepper it up with silly trix. I’ve come up with a list of Silly Rabbit Trix listed below in increasingly difficult order:

1. Ride Up Curb
2. Ride No Hands
3. Bunny Hop
4. Ride Down Stairs
5. Superman
6. Ride Up and Along Embankment
7. No Hands + 1 Foot
8. 10-second Trackstand
9. Hop Onto and Off a Bench
10. Ride onto, along, then down MBT walls
11. Ride (or Hop) Up Stairs
12. Ride completely up MBT Metro Stairway
13. Ride completely down MBT Metro Stairway
14. No Handed Hopping in a Circle
15. No Hands + No Feet

The harder the trick is, the more points you get for each. You can even get “Drop Bar Double” points for most of them if you do it on a bike with drop bars and tires <32mm because that makes things a lot harder IMO.

Demo:

https://vimeo.com/306827601

I’ve made a chart that lists descriptions, qualifiers, points, if it gets Drop Bar Double points, and possible real life uses:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18b_I67_tOgHcYLJImxpbuKF0ZykJGFeQewpjEhmekvA/edit?usp=sharing

As you complete a trick, I’ll add your username to the spreadsheet.

Some rules:

1. For the trick to count, you have to post a video (or a link to it) in this thread of you successfully doing the trick and riding at least 2 pedal strokes after completion. If you crash right after the trick, sorry, it don’t count.
2. The video has to remain up here until the end of Freezing Saddles 2019.
3. Only tricks done after the official start of Freezing Saddles and the end of the day on 3/19 count for this competition.
4. Only one of the attempts counts (the better one) for each trick. So if you do a bunny hop on a flat bar bike, then later on a drop bar bike, I’ll count the points for the drop bar bike since it has higher points.
5. Don’t sue me.
6. You have to wear a helmet for the trick to count.
7. For the timed trix, don’t slow down the video.

The guy and gal with the most points wins a pair of Trix rabbit socks (as seen here). If a tie, the person with the most style wins.

EDIT 1/3/19: I’ll be adding more tricks, and don’t mind suggestions. If I add more, I’ll be adding it to the spreadsheet, on the list above, and a video of me trying it myself.
EDIT 1/7/19: Added “No Handed Hopping” and “Hopping onto and off a bench”.
EDIT 2/25/19: Added “Riding along the MBT walls” and “Going Up or Down MBT stairs” (https://vimeo.com/319485697)

Backward Brain Bicycle – Vicegrip made one of these. I believe Phoenix has one too.

Ha! Thanks

Everyone’s a contender! We can session (practice or attempt) silly trix on group rides. Ask me how, but I’ll be honest, I’m a terrible teacher because some of this stuff is so ingrained I forget details when trying to explain.

Yeah I get that. My son has always had numbers & math in his head – and when my daughter had an awful algebra teacher in 8th grade & I asked if he could help, he admitted he had no idea how to explain any of it because he’s just always gotten it. Of course. He works for Google now….

You have an advantage in that what you’re tryna teach is physical, so we can watch you or your videos and have a shot at seeing what you seem to be doing… And that’s all right here in the prize planning. You did a really nice job.

Hop onto and off of a bench:

Hop no handed in a circle:

BTW, if you look at the reason for this and the hopping onto/off a bench, they’re both real

The recliner – feet up on the handlebars
The backseat driver – riding from the rear rack

6 points assuming my form is good enough

I awarded the points for this prematurely because it does not show you riding for two pedal strokes after completion. I forgot that part of this trick is to get back on your pedals, which isn’t easy. That said, I’ll let you keep it since it was my bad missing it. Everyone else needs those 2 pedal strokes after this trick!

I think the best course of action is simply that everyone in BAFS2019 gets a free 2 points.

Pretty convenient that you used a video with the head cropped out. That’s clearly me.

All the points for me.
No hands, snow, night, drop bars, pannier on one side, double length (12seconds+).

Since you asked nicely, I will gussy up your points, but mostly because you did it on snow on a road bike

This would be a two-fer: bunny hopping up stairs

I already assumed it, but yesterday I had a chance to try silly Trix on a skinny-tired drop bar road bike. No surprise, it is much, much harder. This is my buddy’s Moots VaMoots which is a couple of sizes too big for me:

I want to see someone do this

I got Shepard into the mix. Double points for this bunnyhop:

Shepard and Jo M go down stairs. Shepard gets drop bar double points:

@drevil allegedly shot the video of me making several attempts at doing “superman” on my road bike, with bar mitts, though it seems he may have experienced technical difficulties. If it helps, there were multiple witness to testify that I didn’t crash right after planking on my ISM Adamo saddle.
