Filling my tyres with water The MTB long jump challenge of doom! I experiment pumping my wheels with water and jumping as far as I can off an MTB kicker ramp before getting a puncture on the spikes! Would you ride like this?
I thought that filling my mountain bike wheels with water and seeing how far I could jump off a portable MTB kicker ramp would be a good idea and my word was I right! I started off the crazy ride by taking a part my bicycle pump and filling it with water before pumping it into the tyres of my Haibike electric enduro MTB thus increasing the weight and making the characteristics of the bike change drastically. After putting roughly 45 litres of fresh water into the wheels it was time to build the MTB hopper kicker ramp with some magic and lay down the spikey long distance stick! The aim of the game was to see how far I could jump with the bike weighing a lot more and when I do finally get a puncture I wanted to see my tyres squirting like a water jet, but was that going to happen?
The distance of the gap jump got massive and I was pushing the limits of my bike with the heavy landings I was giving it and with the added weight I was quite worried to see if the forks would survive the thrashing! After some sending and some epic GoPro slow motion the inevitable happened, but how far did I go?
I hope you enjoy the video!
