I fooled around with this link during the summer but never pulled it until today. Hoping to expand on it next time I get a chance to ride.

Nice! I can't understand how you can get into that backwards rope-a-roni, it's so hard!

Thanks bud!  :beer:
Getting in is the easy part, it's getting out with no brakes....total bitch. When I had brakes I'd tap the brakes to stabilize the bike, now I just have to quickly swing it over and down it one motion.

It's just a roparoni, not a backward roparoni, but yeah totally easy to get into. You just do a sort of bounce and pop it up and that helps. The one problem is not getting into the habit of taping your foot down during the ride in. Once you have that habit, it is a bitch to stop doing it. I still do it most of the time and I know I don't need to.

As for getting out, I have noticed that when you're ready to come out, if you tighten the circle up bit, it is very natural to "unwrap" out of even without brakes. In fact it puts you in a good position for an opposite foot peg wheelie so you can link it to something else too.
Kids, you only get one face in life - don't spend it on pavement
