Title: Damn you, Matt Wilhelm!
Post by: Thlayli on May 26, 2008, 12:46:12 AM
... you make it look so easy to switch feet in a hang 5 on Ground Rules. Sheesh.

On the plus side, last couple days I've been rolling the farthest dork wheelies of my life.

Dork Wheelies are so Fun. I have been working hard on really controlling it. I have been playing  with going both directions and rotating my bars around and riding around.

You know whats funny Thlayli, When I was first learning Hang 5's I was doing it with my right foot. Until Huck said...try it on the other foot. So thats how I eventually learned it and I can't go back to the one I started with  :huh: Hang 10 is no problem try and switch the foot is CRAZY HARD!! hahaha

Keep on Riding!!

Props for the progression

That's a variation.

i thought the time machine was switch foot like the vid, but cranking the pedal for speed during the spin. guess there's lots of variations.

btw Thlayli, dork wheelies are still rad. i've recently become obsessed with double footed dorks. fun times haha

just keep spinning... eventually you get used to it.

kinda funny because i can no longer get dizzy if i spin clockwise; however, i can get dizzy if i spin counter-clockwise with anything.

It would be hilarious of he put bails in his vol. 1 for the easiest tricks.  Realistically, it wouldn't be good cause it would scare the kids away, but it would be good comedy for us!

Endo:
Matt: "You don't want your pedals straight up and down like this..." 

with addition of bail part:  "now this is what happens if you start your pedals straight up and down and don't bend your knees for the endo..."  (his feet get tangled up in the pedals and his front wheel falls over to the side and he goes into one of those old school endos by accident and he falls over his handlebars and he's like: "AHHHH!!!" while the bike falls on top of him)

"Now lets take a look at that in slow motion"  (audio is slow and deep also making as dramatic as possible) "Yeah, so don't do that."

Pogos:

"this is what happens when you let go of the brakes..."  (put your own crazy bail here)  ^_^
