Today I started hitchhikers, the ride in is very hard. My bike just shoot out underneath most of the time.

me learn something new! http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=197385333606199&oid=126876205658#&comments


Nice! I really like the look of that! I have a tendency to get hung up when trying to step "over" the bars into a half packer so that would actually be a nice option for me! :beer:

Wow! Last few videos on this thread were insane! I hope I can get to that level someday.
I worked on bw jugglers today, I'm not 100% sure if this is considered a full juggle and I know it's super sketchy but I'm off to a pretty good start. My main problem was that I couldnt find the right way to set the pedals, no matter how I set them they were hitting my legs on one side or another. I chose to set them with the left pedal down and just tried to avoid hitting it with my leg when pulling it up. Hopefully with some practice I'll be able to pull em a little more smoothly.

Setting the pedals for hiker variations is often one of the trickiest parts. It makes spinning jugglers a huge pain in the ass.

I'd put a day or two into making sure the bars don't drag, and by the end of it I bet you'd have multiples.

Next time I get a chance to session I'm going to revisit my technique and try to keep those damn bars of the ground. Keeping them off the ground in a regular bw hiker is a bit easier for me because I can hold the frame off to the side a little. I was thinkin about working on hikers holding both pegs and left handed steams to work on coordination in my left hand.

To develop that coordination in my opposite hand I started doing half hikers on that side  It seemed to help a lot.  Getting around those pedals is a pain in the butt.   Now I understand why peope ride crankless.

I've got alot of work to do with developing coordination in my left hand, I'm probably gonna start with learning steams holding the seat with my left.

Maybe you are unaware of how karma works, but you're pretty much implying that two years of health issues that have landed me in the hospital at least 10 times is something I deserve. That's pretty much the most cowardly jab I've ever heard out of anyone directed at me and you should be embarrassed that you even said it at all.
