Ramps or flatland?

If you want to learn 80's flatland, speak to Jim (quimrider). He is currently learning this stuff and has some good links to websites.

Hi Dibly,

Download my Freestyle books.   They should help.   

I'm going to start practicing too.   

I can't trackstand worth a damn.   

I have mastered the 1mm high bunny hop though.   

Just in the process of trying to master that 1.1mm high bunny hop.

I went to Coppull on Saturday Morning to try and find that Brake Pad.   

I was on my way to Manchester to see my mum and take her out as a Mothers Day treat.

So I decided to drop in at Alans BMX and buy a full face helmet and some gloves.  So while Coppull was on the way there, I thought I'd stop at the track and see if I could find it.  I found it within 1 minute.

On the way out of wigan towards the M61 I noticed a skatepark.   It looked pretty good.  Do you go there?

Anyway, I'm all set for the summer races now. 

Bring it on!!!!!!

Cant you try some BITD tricks on a new bike? Apart from they work better, last longer, and ride nicer, they aint that different and im sure you can still do all the 80s fav's on a new bike.


It may be that you just WANT to ride an OS bike, just for the fun of it. If so, thats fine.
