Progressing!! posted on 2005-10-22 20:09:28

I have been working on Hang 5s for about 6 months and still got to feather the front brake a lot! :cry:

but I prefer to practice spinning tricks, like fork wheelie frame stand spinning at high speed.

Itīs very difficult for me to do rolling tricks, Itīs good to hear that you already got Hang 5s, good job.

Thanks

riding High is proving yourself that you are not able to do things by your own hard work. It means that you suck, and you need something extra you donīt have to do that.

 

&quot;________ is hard!&quot; posted on 2005-10-17 10:22:10

Natural ability exists, some people have it, I have seen it, but sometimes they donīt have the dedication, I ahve seen others that find very difficult to do some things, flatland for example, but they have the dedication, so they go much furhter than those that donīt prcatice. Itīs all aout how much time, patience, and dedication you put on something, if you dedicate is because you have fun doing it, all the people that is good in something (I mean really good) is because they dedicate. That is what we chinese call "Kung", that means hard work for something, like flatland for example, someone who dedicates to flatland has Kung.

That is why chinese boxing is commonly known as Kung-fu, because it takes a lot of time, practice and patience, but Kung-fu may be something else, anything that needs (I mean a lot) dedication, it doesnīt matter how simple it may look.

But the people I admire most are those who have the ability and dedicate, it could be said that they have the Kung, because when you dedicate, then ability comes.

I totally agree with that quote about "the hardest trick is the one you havenīt done yet".

This image was taken from bmxtrix, note how it is installed there, you should be able to find out by yourself, the cable passes through one arm to the other, then it is attached there. then tighten the springs, turning the spring cap outwards, then tighten the allen bolt. easy.

 

Dia-Tech Hombre FIESTA Brake posted on 2005-10-15 19:17:49

I have never tried the diatech with fiesta upgrade, but I have been using normal diatech and they work fine, good braking power, and I use aluminum rims, without chrome plating.

hey clint23! what frame are you using there? it looks old school! 8)

and that trick is so dificult for me, because I donīt have back brakes.

 

&quot;________ is hard!&quot; posted on 2005-10-15 19:09:51

I could never imagine myself doing a whiplash, the one day I try to do a steamroller, but I couldnīt catch the back end, so it kept rotating. Then I decided to give it a try to the whiplash, then a month later I was doing again the steamroller, and I missed again to catch the back, so I switched the feet and landed the whiplash! :D

It was like.....what a?? It happened all by accident, after many times of trying it, I decide to do another trick and it comes out easy.

 

Bodywork, energywork, meditation, prayer..... posted on 2005-10-14 12:41:26

Meditation, thatīs even better than sleeping.

Complete physical trainning, running for 20 min., 50 push-ups, 40 abdominal excercises, 40 side abdominal excercises, Kung-fu. Working every muscle. Even better than weight lifting!

Thatīs my way to relax. :)

Taska freecoaster? posted on 2005-10-12 13:27:20

Thanks for the info. but I want to change the super big 18t cog for a 11 or 12t cog, like the Kore on flatlandfuel, is it going to work with the taska? I also need some cranks, that is why I am buying such a cheap freecoaster, Iīll change it later for a nankai.

 

Taska freecoaster? posted on 2005-10-11 12:32:26

Iīve heard bad things about this hub, but can someone tell me which are the disadvantages of this freecoaster? Based on your experience.Whatīs the difference between this and the nankai? If it is properly maintained , I think it might work well.

thanks

I would love to have a university like yours here, but people donīt respect flatland, they think it is for young kids that donīt have anything to do.
:(

congratulations anyways! :D

System of a down posted on 2005-09-26 13:47:20

System of a Down is a good band, I like their protest songs. It doesnīt matter if you like them or not, they are good.

I may not like classical music very much, but they are very good musicians.
