it was a good day for some LA street riding as well...
what part of LA are you? i've heard there's some good street downtown and have been wanting to check it out, but have no idea where to start.
Why don't you ride street?
No good reason really, except that I like riding and am better at riding trails. I spend most of my free time doing that. I'm not really into a lot of the tech street stuff... I'd rather be flying through the air. I have tons of respect for people that are good at it, though.
180's are funny. When I learned them regular i could never pop them, but when I learned them opposite I seem to float a lot better. If I'm 180ing up something (or down for that matter) I prefer opposite. Much to my chagrin I learned tailwhips and x-ups opposite as well, and trying to learn them the other way is a pain.
Quoted for truth. Get them dialed then they are super fun. You can throw them into ANY line.
I wanna get them down, but haven't gotten around to it. Mostly cause I'm riding a frame with a 21.5tt and have basically no foot/tire clearance, so I have to keep my front foot pointed up alot in order to clear the tire when it comes around. I wish I had gotten the long frame...
Hey man I had the same problem with my p2 a while ago. I just got a 1.95 tire up front and now I can do them all day. but its kinda scarry because I always seem to hit my foot when I x-up on jumpI wanna get them down, but haven't gotten around to it.

Indeed, seems that it would be hard to find a good tire in that size as well. My foot always buzzes the front tire on x-ups, but when I pinch the seat to throw a barspin I am leaning back more so my foot usually seems to be out of the way.
Small block 8 ftw
I would still be sketched riding a tire under 2" in the front. for the back it would be fine.
What do you mean you're moving there? Are you going to work there?
nah he's gonna live in a dumpster and be the crazy guy that the kids are always creeped out by.
Yep. One of the three mountain bike guys. I'm so excited. Only two weeks until I drive over there. I'll be there for nearly two months.
When I learned them I knocked my rear wheel out of true a few times, but once you get them it is super fun. The only downside is, it's a trick that is hard to put into a line.
yep, one of my favorite moves. faster you go, easier they are. I like putting those into to combo moves like nose pivot to fakie hop to half cab out. not too tech, just a lot of fun...
I used to be able to do these on my 26", and also my trials bike. I'm sure they'll be much easier on a 20".
that's correct
If your serious, let me know.Can you hook a buddy up with access to the DJs and The Hanger?
I am surely serious. Check out the recent face lift to the trails...
