Post by: B-random Fantom on May 15, 2010, 07:01:53 PM: WTF! I had to watch the no-handed backwards whip to wheelchair 3 times for it to sink in--his hand does not touch the bars (and he drops it straight from the full back-packer)--this is beyond bad ass.

With a little help from the bars resting against the back of his legs too, I believe. Badass no matter how he gets it done! My personal favorites are the double backwards whips and the fact that he hides the pumps in the turbines and spins. Hell yes!

Post by: Scott O on May 16, 2010, 07:09:35 PM: So awesome!!!!

Yes he does squeeze the forks with his ankles. A while back he had grips on his forks for that. Great idea!!!

I too noticed the pumps in the turbines. Nice and I like it a lot. Progression is great ;D
Title: Re: Sam Foakes - Groundtactics edit
Post by: Zion Bike Co. on May 17, 2010, 05:01:17 PM: he still runs a piece of inner tube on his forks to get the grips ...cause he only holds on to his bike with his heels, that's it....heheeh

I stand corrected. Next Generation of "locomotive grip"! LOL.
