Okay this trick used to be sooooo very hard for me to do last year. Now I am rolling rolling rolling. I know there are some of you that can pull this one...I have some new footage of my self pulling one. Because I have never pulled one for the camera before. I will get that posted up this week. I have some pictures right now of some of my good friends. Post your pic or Vid here and I will add it to the growing list.

Keep on Riding!!

just waiting for it to stop raining here, Mark...

yes, raining like crazy here too....it sucks

Is that an ozone I see ?
Is that also a recent photo?

not an Ozone...a 88 General Osborn Pro....photo was taken last year by a 9 year old with a disposable camera.

the general f/f now belongs to Raul.

Just waiting for my eye to fully heal.


Ruptured cornia, incase I never told any one.

That's one trick where I ALWAYS have to tap my foot down when I get into them.
I do like the high speed steamroller into a semi-coasting funky ckicken.

I remember back in 1989 I kept trying them over and over and over again and again and again. I never could even swing my frame around.
I also remember my first 1. It felt like I was holding on to a rocket. The frame swung around and when I caught it infront of me I was pulled by the G force. It was the wildest feeling. It doesn't happen that way anymore for me. Now its just feels like a hang 5 to me. After I learned the Hang 5 other FWD rolling tricks started coming to to play. FWD Karl is just around the way along with steam into funky. I will hopefully be able to edit the new video footage I have of some steamrollers.


Hey Nelson, have you ever came out to the Garage to hang out and ride??

Keep on Riding!!!

5 minutes after this first photo was taken, I crashed doing this and tore some cartilage and fractured my kneecap. Probably because I never even tried a bar-split Steamroller back in the day, and all of a sudden i got in my head that I could do them HAHA ... But I did manage them pretty well (video).

That was back in August though, I'm ready to ride again!

why does the name mark coates sound so familiar to me?

raddad, I was out of the sport for 15 years and bought an eastern sequence on monday. I am back to doing hang 5s and whiplashes. I havent tried a steamroller yet, but I will this weekend.

Hurry up Glenn! I love GT Show porn

Cool Guys. Its good to know your getting out to ride. I have been working on Steam to Fwd Karl for awhile now. Its going slowly.

Sandy...How are those steamrollers going for ya? It took me a life time to learn them my self. I always tried them BITD but could never roll them.

Gav- Can you send me the video file???

I am going out of town to VOODOO Flat Jam when I get back I will do some updating.

Keep on Riding!!

RadDad! You're getting SO good! I remember a year ago you're working on your hang 5's. Man, that's awesome!

I see David and Kenny are crankless... Is this the new fad?

rad dad.

As far as rolling stuff, still doing hang fives and whipashes. I am still adjusting to the new school geometry and getting that feel back. I could do steamrollers bitd so I should be able to pick those back up. Shoot me an email sandy.crawford@yahoo.com I have some questions about how you make short video clips. I would like to post some of my stuff on here too.

Back from the comp now....Voodooo was OFF THE CHAIN!!! I have ton of footage that I will start sorting though.


Ndprts4hro- THanks I keep tyring..i havent called it quits yet. David has cranks again. Kenny will get cranks again. Both of them were crankless due to backwheel problems or Crank problems. Kenny will get a new frame this summer most likely.

Sandy- I will send you more info about making short clips. Now that I am back again. I can start working on Trick of the MOnth agian along with the Updates and Voodooo stuff...man I got to find time to ride too..hahahaha.

Keep on Riding!!!
