so, trikes compared to quads for larger jumps, quads are definitely the better choice then?
i dont mean safer.....if i wanted safe, i would have a bike, as i been riding them all my lifei mean like, does a trike just handle jumps not so well compared to quads?
i have noticed that the front will absorb alot of a jump, and the back will bounce off it, and that can get you into big trouble if your not careful.
My apologies for saying they aren't "great" racers, that was uncalled for on my part.I was more or less talking about the Marty Harts, Steve Wrights, and Danny Coes, etc. of the past. The quads were going deeper into the turn getting more acceleration/speed to hit the jump, where as the trikes were cutting the inside. Without having said it....the trikes if suspended correctly, and with experienced riders could do the double the Quads were doing in the vid. Not saying the guys in the vid weren't experienced. ; )
It did sound like an armchair response, but that I'm not.It's great vid!
Again...my apologies if I offended anyone.
