Yea man, i have to agree 100%. The Street life is the life for me. Cant get enough of it. So much to see and ride around every corner. I love making something out of nothing.
well i only learnt bunnyhop crank flips about a week ago. I learnt them over a box and step up first. The principle is the same but spin the cranks when you reach the height of your hop. I think its mainly confidence on the bunny hop ones practice and youll get it
Dude saw your comment on how to crankflip - wrap your front foot slightly around the pedal so it is at 90 degrees ish to the floor then jump and as you do drag the front foot quickly torawrds you to make um spin then just practice catching them. Itll take you about 5mins to do on the floor if not leave me a comment n ill help u out some more.
yeah man, no problem. how i learned them is just, putting my foot in the tire before kicking the frame around. after i got used to that i just started trying to do them the right way. i guess the most important thing is to keep your eye on the tire. after that the spin just kinda goes naturally, and just spot your pedals. it just takes a while to really get the feel of em, just keep trying em. the hardest part for me was that my back tire kept hitting the ground.
haha my bad for getting back late. yeah the step up is madd good as a first bike. cuz it has good parts on it, but its capable of costimization. like you can buy parts as you get better. and the bike isnt cheap to begin with. its really light, for a first and for its price. eventually when you get better thgouh, youll have to buy a new frame, but thats for every bike/rider. any more questions bout it?
i have built a total of 6 sets and one front wheel i been gettin pretty good at gettin em trued i was just wondering if you knew how so i could ask for a tip or two on trueing i can get em pretty close like almost perfect but im having trouble perfecting it
