  1. I don't really do too many freestyle tricks on mine, but I do play
    around on it a whole lot. I mount to WW, 1ft, skinnies, bridge gaurd
    rails, 40mm - 175mm cranks, and a lot of technical muni with mine

    That's a beautiful picture! well done

  2. I can ( when i've been practising) ride one foot and idle on my coker.
    One foot is actully pretty easy as that big wheel wants to keep on
    turning. I've seen people ww on them, often V good small riders who
    can't reach the pedals! Seat drag and seat out should be possible too.

    Good luck. You can;t be worse than Jack H and I were when we entered a
    freestyle comp on cokers - we were dreadfull.

    For a shorter rider I am not sure a front seat drag would be possible
    simply because of the angle of the seat. When you seat drag on a 24"
    the seatpost is almost horizontal, but on a coker with a low seat, the
    seatpost angle can be steeper than 45 degrees. You'd be dragging on the
    leather and the force vector would be more into the ground than
    forward. This could create an intersting trick though of hopping over
    the seat to transition from seat-on-ground front to seat-on-ground
    rear.

    Would this depend on the saddle used, I think on mine (customised
    myiata) the handle and bumper would be the only things to touch the
    deck and they being hard plastic should drag OK. I see how with a
    viscount sadle it'd be more of a problem.

    Oh and skipping is doable if you don;t weigh to much.

  5. scroll down 'this page' (http://tinyurl.com/bxtg6) and you'll get
    pics from "Yikki" performing tricks on my coker.
    what baffled me is that he had never seen a Coker before!
