    Bmx Questions

    as your manualling, start to turn as if your gonna manual in a big circle, as your body drops to the side to start turning you wanna bunnyhop, but as your doing the hop, just before the back wheel comes off the ground, you wanna make it turn in a tighter circle so it flicks you around a bit more. sorry if that more complicated than it needs to be, I am not the best at explaining moves
  2. ugh! you couldnt pay me enough to go to one of these proms, although I dont think the fact I didnt like ANYONE at my school helped. Mike, I NEVER want to see you in a suit again! it makes you look too succsessful.
  3. youve gotta be kidding! The only "extreme" street I have seen is craig and neil doing their big gap drops and things, most people seem to be into the spins and manuals, that reminds me of sycronised ballet cycling (it really exists) <those guys are doing waay more impressive things than every "wanna be bmxer" I have seen. You may have been unfortunate to have only seen muddy comps, but you should see the uci comps, they are nuts, and I call riding on an uneven slippy rock 20ft up more extreme than street. sorry for the rant, it just really get on my tits when people say street is more extreme than natural. I agree with the buying lots of raffle tickets to rais funds for the brit round of the world champs.
  4. well, after phils advice about lower bars, I put my 10mm spacer ontop of the stem, I then went and nearly did my 50" tap first time, ended up blunting it. I stuck at it and got it 4 times (Y) I always knew about the lower bars thing (honest) but never thought it actually made much difference.

    Bt Video 2

    mint riding! I was most impressed, I loved the switch foot stuff. (Y)
  6. my problem (apart from bad technique and being scared) is that when I land on a high tap, my weight is always way over the back and its really hard to keep it. On huge taps, how do you manage to get your front wheel down and ontop of the object? it just seems to bounce me off backwards (Y)
  7. 47 is huge, I can do about 43 every time, but latley I have been pushing myself and I have gotten a couple of 47s and one 50" but the 50" one was a one off, I need to practise them more.
  8. I had the old x lites. they had no tyre room (couldnt fit a michelin 2" tyre) and they (eventually) snapped. the new ones might be different though

    New Pedals

    yeah, but the idea wasnt popular enought for them to justify making them. I still think it would be ace
  10. start like number one, but pedal thurther so it ends up like number two (N)

    New Pedals

    pedals sounds ace, price doesnt. why dont you ask him to make ti cages to fit current pedals, like vp and club roost? Arans steel cages on his vps have lasted years, and are still grippy.
  12. but I didnt even know this brittish cycling thing exsisted, so how can I search for it if I dont know about it. heres a quote "questions are easy if you know the answer"
  13. yeah, its lovely isnt it mr monkey, do you want to stroke it? actually, it was just my winter fluff, I think its time to shed my hair for summer
  14. count me in, I just hope my injuries are better in time, its gonna be tough riding Masters.
  15. me, taken just as a ghost tryed to scare me.

    How Old?

    I are 21 years age :S still feel like sweet 15 though
  17. believe me, its not my riding you should be worrying about, there are plenty of other riders who will kick my ass (Y)" anyway, its the taking part that counts.........right?
  18. nope, expert for me, I think you have to be chosen to ride masters
  19. expert I believe I think poussin is the easiest
  20. somthing happened, I fell 6ft on to my back across a kerb stone (Y)
  21. thanks for the info (Y)" I am entering
  22. yes, if you used the 20" front rim and had a bmx hub with the correct number of spokes
  23. if these events were wider advertised, then I am sure england would become more of an uci country, as it is we have no choice but to ride biu. I would have loved to have entered, the sections looked ace. But even if I did know about it I am still not sure if I would have entered due to the cost. But then again if I had prior notice of it, I could have saved. I aint getting at you aust, its more of a general rant
  24. I did it, only got one wrong turm (a mayjor one), the block hadnt got halfway there. edit, its still not there (Y)
