i learned that not having front brakes STILL bores the hell out of me, but also that i'm too lazy to swap my forks over again. this is a dire situation Sad

learned icepicks, one handed can can airs, no handed surfers (for shits and giggles), and getting a bit closer to barspins. i spin bars to the right but for some reason catch left hand first, then naturally try to grab the left side with my right hand aswell. i dunno what the hell is going on there...

uhh... i learned something the other day... i can't remember what it was though because i'm still a bit pissed from last night... point is, what's something i can learn next? i've done spins, burly huck tricks, front wheel tricks, back wheel tricks, and pretty much tried everything under the sun and i'm stuck with what i wanna learn. ideas? even weird combos are good. except strongbow to v to blue curcao in the one cup. that's not a good combo. kids, don't learn that one. go home and tell your mum, "mum. this dude bicyclist on the internets said 'don't do drugs man!' should i listen?" and your mum will say "yes my child. that young man bicyclist rolley is one wise fellow. learn from him. drugs are bad and stuff." and then you'll be all like "man i'm so wise now."

yeah i don't know where i was heading with that either. any ideas to add to that story too?

mannn i talk alot of random shit "under the influence" sometimes...

straight legged no foot cans, as in not the scissor kick ones just the ones where both legs are beside each other. oppo peg grabs, and i THINK whatever i'd learned then forgotten was 270 can cans. or it was some lip trick combo.

tailwhipsssssss yesssss finally.

they're still pretty dirty, but for how long i spent working on them and starting out with the bike acting more like a helicopter than a whip, it's really nice to say i got it done. not the most fun trick in the world though, would prefer whopping big 360s any day.

Over the last few weeks I've just been getting back on my feet after I stopped riding all winter due to leaking tube and no pump.
But I've got 3 hops pretty much down again, Footjam whips are coming back to me slowly but surely, Tables are getting better than ever.

Oh and the other day I did, hop over a knee high-ish rail to manual to 180.
Whip hops are driving me bananas at the moment too.
