    Go crazy.

  2. ah man, today I was trying out fifthflips and tripleflips on an LX on
    flat and i was really close to both. I landed a tripleflip or 2 but
    fell off immediately. I also was really close yesterday when I tried
    them down a 2 set on my trials. I'll get em soon.

  4. Another question.

    Is it casuall for the bottom of a tire to get almost shaved at the
    bottom from the position that I hop?

    The bottom of the tire (from my hopping position) is wearing down. Is
    this casual? I am losing serious traction, and will probably need a
    new tire soon. Any suggestions as to how to address this situation?

    take off your tire.
    rotate the tire a little bit.
    put tire back on.
    now you are hopping on the part that has tread!

  6. Or even easier, let the tyre down and you can rotate it without even
    taking it off. Too easy.

    That's not genius, I thought that's what everyone did.
    Nice work man, except for the seatpost. I'd probably have them by now
    if my seatpost wasn't snapped, oh well the new one should be here in a
    few more days, then I'll land them.

  11. So I would have to say so far 5-spins are the most expensive trick Ive
    learned.

    I have broken, I think its up to 4, rear bumpers solely doing 5 spins.
    Thats $40 worth of bumpers.... well $50 since I have to buy another. I
    also tore right though my last cover continuing doing them without the
    bumper. So $70.00. Just on 5 spins. pheeewy. Glad I can actually land
    75% of them now. That was a tough expensive learning curve.

    Well the hospital bill from learning handrails is another story, I
    haven't paid that yet.😉

  12. Nah Levi I broke it trying to grind a little kids playground handrail.
    but I flucked it up and landed on the front and snapped the post.

    That must have been very frustrating for you agentq. I don't usually
    break parts. Although I'm prone to breaking seat, but that wont be the
    case once I get paid and can buy my cf base.
