Post by: Trev on December 24, 2006, 04:53 PM: i remember bitd i beat james white in a front hop comp... :4_17_5:

i don't have a front brake anymore... :( well, not on my Proper anyway...

I have a front brake on my 2006 Sport and the first time i ever rode it (for about 30 seconds before sticking it in the car to take to Epic) i tried to do some front hops, but forgot to tighten the stem bolts... :'( the bars slipped forward and i smacked my knee on the stem.... just like the good ol' days.... still hurts now. :(

Post by: harris on December 24, 2006, 04:57 PM: feet must be on pedals or flash one footed variations but not on pegs or fork stands makes it harder :)

very funny Pete. I'll enter his competition, and I'll be at least 10 front hops. My beergut and tits will probably do 20 tho' depending on the natural harmonics of the bounce... and i'll send in a video
