Karl Poynter Q&A ***NOT ACTIVE***

Haha, he always seems like he's high, but I'm sure he's not, he looks clean. Like a babies pubic area.

what inspired you to innovate the way people do sliders and how its not acceptable to pivot out of a fakie without a "skirt" or "slider"

Oh yeah, forgot to ask my question.

Why don't you want to get your WHITE SHIRT DIRTY?!

KARL MOTHER FUCKIN POYNTER!!!!!!! Ask the guys on this Forum, I am your number one fan! And you were the number one reason in me getting my freecoaster (bet I can out tireslide you! *Sarcasam*). Because I love you so much, I am gonna murder you with questions.

Whats the trick to a slider? I can do them for 30 feet tops, and yours seem like you can do them until your tire falls off.

Why a freecoaster? Why not just a casette?

What made you leave Sunday?

Would you love me if I told you that I loved you?

Are you ambidextrous?
You seem to spin in any direction, grind on any side, and all with no problem...

First off, your riding is fantastic, it seems as though you can do anything you want and more with a bike.

So my question(s) is(are):

Did you ever ride any flatland, and how did you get your super-tuned sense of balance?

What keeps you from falling into the groove that so many other street riders are in, with barspins, lots of the same kinds of grinds, and similar styles?

Is the Shadow freecoaster going to be released soon or? (I am in the market for a new rear hub and am curious)

KARL POYNTER!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA DUDE! ur one of the best actually i think u r the best freeecoaster dude in the game today! and id like to ask you.
how sick does it feel to slider for 200 feet? (or a long way haha) also i made u a rap

Karl Poynter,

First off I wanted to say you are an amazing rider with great style.

My question is what is your favorite trick? (other than sliders lol)

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Karl Poynter,

First off I want to applaud your unique style on a freecoaster. Your kill it wherever you go, and your commitment to your riding and finally landing that trick is awesome (QBP roadtrip, the ice to 180).

Now for my question:
Do you use pedal pressure to do half, full, and 5 cabs? and also on manual to 180s?

thanks,
keep shredding dude!

Yeah, I told you earlier it would suck.

Hey Karl, you're one of my favourite riders to watch and your edits and parts always get my pumped to ride.


Who are Top 5 Riders of all time and what would you say are the best videos/parts/edits to come out in the last 5 years?


Thanks

how do you feel about me being in love with you???
and also i saw in one of your props videos that you went to a skatepark in cypress texas called dirtwood and i used to go there alot how did you like the skatepark?

Dude, I can write a meannnnnn rap! Karl, can you rap? If so, spit us some beats!

hey buddy. ive talked to you on myspace before. freecoaster friendly is my space name in case your wondering haha. when you do fullcabs do you use pedal pressure? i can do them on a cassette fine but once i get to my freecoaster they just seem awkward. thanks for being rad. if your ever in jersey, lets have a freecoaster sesh.

Do you ever just walk backwards? because i'm sure if you did, it would look normal. haha

pedal pressure?

chain tension?

first i want to say you are the reason i started riding a freecoaster. i watched your part in the shook video and i fell in love with freecoasters since then.
now my questions
what got you into freecoasters?

you basically only do spins, grinds, and manuals. why dont you do other tricks like tucks or something? can you do them and just dont show us, or do you not like them for some reason?

how long have you been riding a freecoaster and, aside from your shadow freecoaster, whats the best freecoaster you have ever rode?

how long did it take you to get sliders and good and long as you have them?

how does it feel being a co-owner of a sports shop AND to ride as a pro bmx-er?


thats it for now. ill be back with some more questions some other time

Why'd you leave sunday? And why freecoasters? And are the sliders your most like favorite to do?
