    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?

    One foot ride
    Wheel walk
    I do alot of skipping;
    Solo skipping,
    three uni's skipping together
    Fire duble duch, jumping in
    idle wilst doing cancan with other leg
    Glidded backwords by mistake a few times, id never do anything so
    dangers on perpose!
    I can stay static for about ten seconds, comes in handy for dancing or
    when riding through crouds with no where to go.

    Gerarfi
    Free mount 6", skip with fire on gerafi
    on leg idle
    ride over plank with circus ball.
    And of corse and can fall of in many diferent, sometimes exciting ways!

  8. Chest ride is probably the same as stomach on seat, an easy freestyle
    skill. If you ride with your hands on the pedals, it is handride, which
    is far more difficult.
