Post by: theRuler on February 23, 2006, 10:21 AM: i know a lot of the gay tricks of back then, were, well, gay

but there are serious power moves that people dont seem to do

i saw a vid with a guy called krt schmidt on it about 10 years ago, and he had mental mini ramp skills
he would fakie, roll back to the other side of the ramp, pop out (backwards still) nosepick 180, then pop in - still backwards
awesome.

that krt guy teamed up with rick moliterno (and a 3rd guy) to form standard bykes

The third guy was Bill Nitschke who went on to found the ill-fated Indy Industries, Krt went of to work for Prince but is now back at Standard.
