+1 Its great to see this thread for something as "basic" as a steam roller.  I've been trying to find some inspiration to stick with, i tend to jump between tricks constantly, jack of all trades, master of nothing.   I've been able to spin um but not hold it consistently in a straight line.  I'm stoked on totm! (btw if anyone can post a few ride out suggestions on spinning this i'd love to see)

Sorry for the slow response... Good work melon, that spot looks cool (Like a mini TGM!) You got the ride out i see, coming along nicely. I've noticed that my ridouts are very different to everyone elses. I kinda pull the frame round like im gonna karl cruiser and just hop back on. I have to be honest i can smootie but i get them wrong more often than not and find my rideout a safer option! A cop out if you will (i hate it when it tips forward and the heart jumps in your mouth feeling) Anyone else get that feeling... lol

Cheerz Killah Yeah my spot is kinda sweet but its normally full of ignorant pricks that come and set up a game of cricket in the corner i'm using :-(

My ride has just kinda clicked recently but for the first coupla weeks i was brickin' it every ride out i would like to try your ride out but i'm sure that won't be for a while.

I have been practicing forward steams all month, and I landed my first today. Although I only rolled it a few feet, I sung it around, rolled it, and smoothied out after about an hour of attempts. I still have the rest of the month, I will try to get one on video. I am kinda stoked about these TOTMs because they give me something to focus on, thanks for doing them.

Mad Props Pinebox! The basic concept is when your in a session with everyone and your all working on the same thing, it creates excitment. Knowing that your not alone makes it that much more fun. Thats whats up!
