Alright, hopefully I can get more hours at work since its summer now, If I get the cash (my new hobby is eating all my green , hundreds of dollars at a time.) I will either a. fix up my joker, or b. buy a new bike, either a bmx or mtb, I have not decided.

but on days with no wind, or riding with the wind, I can carry coasters for a LONG time. (600ft+)

Maybe BMX bike seat standers are easier... for some people, im like 6', and its uncomfortable as hell to stand on the seat, and when I try to yank up a wheelie, it goes right over.

I see eye to eye with you on that hang5 vs. endos thing. I could carry hang 5s for a LONG time, but I never measured them because I didn't consider them "endos", and endos were the things to have major distance on.

 

lol, wait till you see the full vid :YEAH :YEAH

 

Damn I need to get my bike fixed! I need someone to record me so I can bust out all kinds off combo surfing. I can do one footers anytime I want to and I hardly ever wreck unless im not looking at the handlebars.

 

my bike was only 100 bucks, i've only bent a rim once, and it was so slight that i was able to use a marker and a creaseant wrench to straighten it.

although i have gone threw 2 right shifters, 1 left shifter, 2 right levers, and one left lever.

i also bought some 3 1/2 inch rise bars (my back was killing me)


also, for seat standers, you gotta use basically allt he rear brake to keep the bike from looping instantly

 

My bike was $275 and I bent the rear rim every 3 or 4 180 endos . the front rim would just get bent from doing too many endos and not letting the rim cool. After a few endos one day, I took out my infared temp gun, the rim was 254F, and I don't even ride the brake untill the last few feet.

 

it's your boy dustin franklin:




and me!



one handed circles

 

sounds like a brake pad problem to me


also, check this out:

I just use a creasent wrench to tighten the spokes, and i tape a sharpie to my brake pad and slowly sqeeze the brakes while the front rim is turning, it shows the high spots pretty accurately

 

How many times did you crash those before you got them down good? I tried one handed circles one day, i don't know how many attempts at it I made, but as soon as I would take my hand off, the bike would all of a sudden shoot right when I wanted to go around left, thus throwing me off pretty much.


Seemed like a I was coming in too damn fast problem to me

 

in order to get them like that, you gotta let the bike fall inwards and pull the handle bars out, i got 1/2th on my first try :YEAH


lol, you get pulled by a car or something?

 

No, that would be a little overkill... just a little.

 

i think you'll like tihs one:

 

Do a seat stander circle, it shouldn't be a problem for you. Ive gone around 3 and a half times on the pegs, so a seat stander should be somewhat similar since you dont have the ability to pedal.

 

working on the SS circles, gotta learn to steer them better though, they are alot less stable then a peg wheelie.

 

Ok, back on topic now. Anymore comments?
