Trick of the Month December 2009 Time Machine
« on: January 02, 2009, 05:29:49 PM »
Its been over a year since I have hosted trick of the month. I have decided to try it out again in 2009. This month its a Hang 5 or Hang 5 with Variation. Video is super easy now with Vimeo and You Tube. So if your learning a hang 5 or your Jedi Master of a Hang 5 I would love to have you participate in trick of the month.
 

Click the Month and it will take you to the submissions for the month.

Hang 5 is a common question on the forums. Maybe some one else will get some tips and ideas on doing them.

Keep on Riding!!!

My Son is really wanting to learn how to do this trick now. He was pretty stoked about my crackpacker progression. He saw me and filmed me every week. He is ready to take the journey.

Tell Caleb to pick up just a little more speed, then when he leans into the hang-5 he should push the bars and get ready to roll!
Good Luck! You will Love Hang-5's!

     That's one of my reasons for doing trick of the month. It gets people out doing tricks that they have not neccersarily been wanting to work on. Trick of the month is designed to motivate riders to get out and ride. It is not important that you can or can not do the trick. The important thing is that your on your bike. If your on it long enough you will eventually learn the trick. With trick of the month I have found it creates a friendly competitiveness and also a up lifting environment. It also gives new riders something to try out while other people are doing it too. It creates a feeling of riding together even though we are separated. The more communication about doing the trick, the better. It more than throwing up a photo or video.
     Trick of the month will always be accessible to everyone. Its not designed for tricks that only a hand full of people can do. The tricks are pretty basic for today's riding. I did link of the month a long time ago but it didn't create the same environment. So there you go. Trick of the Month in a nut shell.
   Now that everyone has this information will you
 
A.  Get on your bike and keep riding
B.  Get some one to record you riding or shoot photo
C.  Post Comments about doing trick of the month
D.  All of the Above.

If you said D your a trend setter and a motivator. You are not only helping yourself but your helping someone else out there that may not have even tried doing that particular trick.

I've never bought anything from the womens section of anything anywhere.

http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2963190&cp=3146842.3146844.3146854.3146919

The only jeans that I ride in. You could buy some for yourself but since you're a fat f*ck I guess that's kind of not an option.

And f*ck yeah he's doing a hang five. Mad props for that. But you're still an asshole so...

I said right away it wasn't a sh*t post. Those pants are CRAZY. I didn't say they were good or bad. You jumped in and started sh*tting it up like you always do.

My apologies Rad Dad, I didn't mean to start a derail with this moron.

why does every single on of your posts have a beer sign  :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: is that the number of beers you drink before making your posts..if so that would explain a lot
