Blind 360 feels way cooler normal.

Yes they do, for some reason I'm very weird about 360's:

I natrually 360 to the left, except for static/slow mobing 360's in
which case it is easier for me to spin right.

Also, when I ride slowly and 360 to the right, I can spin a complete
360 smoother then when I spin left at all.

I'm not really "blind" either way on them, actually....

137mm. I really like them for flips, but backs and double backs are way
easier with shorter cranks, I think.

Evan hates the frame a lot, he keeps telling me to throw it away. I like
it though.
Its 4130 and the legs are streamline tubing. Evan accidentally welded
the crown 1/8" too far forward (I think thats why he hates it) so he is
going to make me a bunch more.
The crown and cranks are now covered in bright green griptape but I did
that after I took the pictures because the color is painful to look at.

The seat is pretty painful to sit on because I used such a slim piece
of foam.

They look neat?

Actually, without the rubber bands, the hub would probably break.

I love the 137's for flips. I can double front and triple back. I
haven't tried a smaller set of cranks for multiple backflips yet tho.

Yeah it is, they just slide on and off when the crank is off. I don't
know if you would have to replace it with another spacer or if the
crank will just go on more. I haven't have any problems with leaving
them on though.

beeper said:

i just thought of another great uni move.

i dont know the name of it, but its possible to drop the seat, and keep
riding.

i would like to see someone incorperate a unispin to that. it would be
incredibly hard.

while the seat is down, flick the whole thing around, and land it..
that would be impressive

yeah they do it in this movie. and he does a cool trick where wehile
riding with the seat draging behind him he jumps up and spins the seat
under him so that it goes in front.

well, if you need someone to give a prototype to...🙄

do you guys think that we should standardize stairsets? like have
certain height and length requirements for a set to be called an 8-set
or something.

No, that's rediculous. Steps are all pretty much the same.
