frame switching
« on: February 28, 2009, 05:34:33 AM »
when you switch a frame do you have to re-learn all your tricks all over again, have them the same, got the basic idea and feeling of the trick, or even easier ? what do you feel when swapping to a new frame for you people that do it often :huh:
i wanan swap the frame but im getting better with tricks on this one, its a crapy frame

No not at all. I actually hit my favorite link I ever got on film the FIRST DAY I got my OG Kun Fu. I was doing it all sorts of sketchy beforehand, but after I got the frame together it just felt so natural for front wheel stuff.

Some things might feel weird at first.

When I swapped from my ABT thing to my Delta 4, the geometry of the two frames were completely different. The bottom bracket was much lower on the Delta 4 so I had to almost step up to the pegs, rather than step down.  "Sounds kinda funny, but it's true"

Really it's all depending on what is different between the frame you had and the one your getting. If the are close in geo, you shouldn't have much of a problem at all.

You'll get the hang of it no matter what

I love switching frames.
I believe certan setups are better for some tricks than others,
so if you are changing the setup,  learn the tricks that are easy on it,
and change again to find diffrent tricks that are more for new setup.
is like diversifying the riding by trying out all the diffrent kinds of girls.
Old dudes can still rip
