Thats sweet man, I really admire you!! I want ot learn those rolling tricks too, all I can really do now is a side glide and a backyard, and they are sketchy. I'm really good at the pre 1986 tricks. It seems to me that those rolling and scuffing tricks are alot easier on your body than the hopping tricks, am I right about that?

Too MUCH RADNESS!


Soo proud of you Mark, that trick is so mental...

I learned them with my bars backwards, as I wasn't tall enough with bars forward...

I guess new school bikes are so short now, that you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Great job!


Plus you are doing them in a circle, which is much harder than doing them straight... as you are adding the carving factor.

Rolling Tricks takes way less energy. Scuffing takes a lot of energy too. My Cliffhanger doesn't wear me out like the Hitchhiker. Its pretty relaxing to start rolling and turning around in circles. I am slowly starting to pick up on the pumping motion that will keep you going. That is a works in the process.

Thanks for all the great comments. Yeah the bikes are much shorter so its easier to get into these kinds of tricks. I may even evntually go for a Death Truck...I mean its the same position, so why not. I just need to learn some basic rear wheel tricks to build it up a bit.

Keep on Riding!!!
