Title: your fav dialled trick.....
Post by: Rombloke on August 08, 2005, 05:47 PM: ok what was your most dialled trick bitd and now

for me my fav that i could pull nigh on every time was the roll back 540...not exactly major technical stuff by todays standards, but it was a trick i could pull fairly confidently, and one hand one foot drop ins,....both tricks aided by a coaster brake. ;D

nowadays....feck all im cack at everything..lol....but still having a go. :-[

Post by: WizardWeb on August 08, 2005, 08:27 PM: Endo variations. I remember seeing a pic of Dominguez doing a can can air and then running outside grabbing my bike and doing a can can endo, much to the amazement of the local kids.

Tailwhips were also a head turner, as were footplants.

I loved the 80's, people were so easily impressed back then ! ;D

Post by: ORB on September 06, 2005, 04:42 PM: Used to be quite good at the old front wheel hop hops, but cant do them for shit now.

I nail about one in ten tail whips now. Used to get em each and every time.

Oh, Bar rides, i used to sit on the bars and roll down the street, cant even sit on the bars now...
