I know what you mean - rode with a coaster for a while, on quarters too, but got spat off a few times as well- jumping up a kerb of all things, over the bars and headfirst into a hedge! Coasters bite!

I did realise and drilled the coaster out of my Tuffs (!) and put a freehub in instead - went a lot higher after that! :LolLolLolLol:
Funnily enough - used to pull rollback 540's all the time on a freewheel - but havin' trouble gettin past 360 now!
Old age settin' in.....!

No way! Ricky Fleming! How the devil are you - never even knew you were on here!
Don't think the pics of you are from the K.o.S., just another day I was riding at Livi - '85 or something like that.
May well have been the same day this pic was taken of ME! :LolLolLolLol: Might help jog your memory!
