    bar spins?

    All my friends told me it would be difficult, but I learned flatground barspins in like, 20 minutes. That said, I have been riding bikes forever. Hop bars are proving more difficult, and I am not getting any thanks from Minor Blackout (my bike) for dropping her repeatedly.

    Mx grips?

    I am not a big fan of lock ons. I think I may just go with longneck xls: That is not my bike, but I do like to wander my hand position. I got so used to it on road bikes that it annoys me to only have one spot for my hands! Cutting the flanges off of my grips helped, but I want the freedom...

    Why is my image data quota next to zilch? Sorry the pics are so low quality. The bike came pretty dialed right out of the box. Just needed a few things put together like pedals and front wheel. Thanks to Dans Comp or whoever sets up Stolen's, probably qbp. Anyway, I took the brake off, cut...

    Has anyone tried motocross grips on BMX bars? What about ATV grips? I am looking for something really cushy and big.

    Pump Track Politics

    Start a professional trailbuilding company that is licensed bonded and insured. Offer to do the work, not as a volunteer, but as a "professional." You will get paid! Or you can donate the labor and get a tax deduction! You just have to play their stupid bureaucratic game to win in this world.

    Pot

    Play this with the Infected Mushroom song above as the soundtrack. It is like Dark Side of the Moon and Wizard of Oz. Everything times perfectly. Seriously.

    This song is about as intense as a run at Whistler.

    Coin Bar End

    I've done the coin thing before, and it definitely works. You need to hammer the coin down to the right diameter so that it is a perfect press fit. I am just on the lookout for cool ideas.

    Official commuter thread

    I commute a lot. I don't have a car, my job is only 7 miles away, though. I used to work 20 miles away. That was a killer commute in SEP OCT NOV DEC in Seattle. Blech. I was really really strong from that and working ft.

    Coin Bar End

    I remember hammering coins into the ends of my bars once a long time ago. I also made a barend for my touring bike out of some driftwood while touring. Anybody have cool barend mods they would like to share? I have been thinking that endgrain hardwood ones would be cool, or maybe simply money again.

    Micro gears. YAY or NAY

    Micro drive is lighter, less likely to catch your pant leg, and clears lips and ledges more easily.
