  1. I landed backwards crankflips......

    ....on my brothers bike. Amazingly easy especialy seeing as I
    cant backflip a uni. I can almost do them on the back wheel now but not
    quite. I can do no footers on the back wheel but its alot harder
    flipping up there.

    I like to think Im getting pretty good on a bike, I still much prefer
    riding a uni though.

    Have you tried doing fakieflips instead of backflips? It's way easier.
    Not that I can fakieflip or crankflip but I can kick the cranks pretty
    fast on a fakieflip and can barely get them to turn backwards on a
    backflip.

    And my brag is I can do varials pretty cleanly now, almost a 180 turn.
    And I can go from stand up 1 foot wheel walk to riding.

    Hmm sounds like it could work, maybe I will try it when my uni comes
    back from being powder coated and stuff. Hopfully I will get it back
    this week, Im so excited 😄

    dude, I said i almost did a 30, but landed wrong, i got close to a 34.
    How the hell is the bragging. I can do a 25 pretty simple, i'll get the
    [censored] on vid sooner or later.

    and btw, even how meaningless it sounds, all those excuses had actually
    happened. There was a fricken bee near my set, i have that on video lol.
    My camera did freeze, but i reset it, and its fine now. My computer does
    suck, i'm running vista, but we got DSL now so my internet speed is
    awesome. And i did slightly sprain my ankle. I tripped, and now it
    hurts to walk right lol.

    Yeah, any other questions?

    you [censored] pestering [censored]

  12. Treyflips. 🙂
    It took me two hours to land the first one.
    The next 4 took me less then 10minutes.

    The difference to 3Spins feels awesome, but I can't see the flip...

    edit: sorry, i just saw it in the Custom Nimbus Thread

    today i fabed up a steady-cam. It was my first ever welding project,
    and i definitely wasn't great at welding but got a lot better as i
    went. I should have practiced more b4 i moved on 2 the actual project,
    but its only a steady-cam so it will work just fine. i will get pics
    when its painted.
