AZ, the Miranda BMXA cover pictures a "Crews" which assimilates today to a whip, very hard to throw at race speed, in the Leary the whip throws the bike to the other side allowing the bars to turn all the way without being obstructed by the leading leg.

BigKnobby and Jeff got it right, a table or a very sweet one hander will make girls squeal. Motocross style, never gets old.

I enjoy them all but my favorite is a Leary

In my five years of racing I have yet to see anyone do one at a race.

I like X-ups, whips, and turndowns just like everyone else but what I think is cool is when a rider just has style.

What I mean by that is, everything about how they ride is smooth and looks good, from how they jump, manual, get a gate everything. Kind of a mastery of every skill.

Kris fox is one of those riders. Its so amazing the way he jumps and manuals, Most of the IPOT riders have that same style but Kris has it the most. That crazy bump jump, and pull manual to bump is fast, smooth and stylish. I saw Josh Meyers do a pull manual bump jump (some call it a tire tap manual) at high springs this weekend and it was amazing.

Steven Cisar has a crazy way of nosing in to jumps that looks pretty cool too. It kind of looks like what Nate is talking about with the yanking on the clips but he rides the same way on Flats and when Cisar does it.... it doesn't look sketchy at all. It just looks cool. In the On the gate films "ground Up" movie you get to see these guys showcase thier style and get a new appreciation for how much skill and talent they have.



+1. True style is where it is at. Ryan Whitesides has this kinda style. His nickname is Dr. Smooth, and for good reason. Check out go211 from Guthrie in the 28-35 x class. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

i HATE, HATE, HATE the stupid clipped style that goes on now... ugly, ugly, ugly. kids yank on their clips and get all squirrely looking and think that is style...



Back in my day, we didn't have these fancy rolle~coasters. For fun, we played stare at the sun.

And we liked it....

....but not in the first 30 feet or the last straight; wouldn't want to interfere with another rider. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just get rid of any jumps in those areas to help avoid a malicious NacNac.
