Switching parts from GT street bmx to WTP Pony flatland bike posted on 2005-10-01 16:30:04

Hey, are you fron Huntington CA, as in CA for CaliforniA or CanadA?

As it was said previously, high tire pressure helps. Honestly seems an ok setup. Try it with the pony frame and then you'll know what you need to change. Lower crossbar on the bars helps if you have big feet like me. Hey, I just slapped some skateboard griptape on low-end steel pegs and it works.

Yeah, part of why I did not achieve anything the first year is tire pressure. As soon as I got 120psi tires rolling came easier.

Ground Rules Vol. 2. What Tricks? posted on 2005-10-01 16:20:45

I should really get vol 1. Then maybe I wouldnt suck that much after 3 years of trying to pull something... :P

Trick of the Month???Need to pick a trick posted on 2005-10-01 16:10:11

Whoa, nice link.

Yeah, the link idea is a good one. I'd say Hang-5 to Dork wheelie, or the other way around.

I run Skidmarks at 120 and fill them up each 2 months or so. I dont know why they keep their stiffness. On my other bike they're always too soft, I'd need to fill them up each time I ride. Odd.

Nice site design and nice pictures too. I like Erin's "gray and black" theme.

Am I confused or did the first prototype had 2 bends in the down tube?

i love my bike getting stolen posted on 2005-09-30 08:14:58

I keep mine inside at all time when I'm not riding it. And not the garage.

[quote="ui"]....or the KGB Psyconnecta which is available in a 20"tt.

I think they do not make that size anymore.

And as Mr Fenton pointed out, the Equinox is only 19,25 TT. Back in February I had my eyes on it (I dig the geo too) but it did not look like it was going in production soon so I got an FBM instead.

(Flatland) Handle Bars position! posted on 2005-09-30 07:49:05

I run my bars just slightly back so that the grips are aligned with my fork, as I have a stem with an offset of about 40mm.

And yes, this means I have to lean a bit more over the bars for front wheel tricks - Fork glides, in my case. I just discovered that while trying reach further to grab the back of my seat and it helped me keep them for longer strectches.

Lung Mustard? Ewwwwww.

new spy pics of the fbm frame posted on 2005-09-28 07:46:16

Most likely to be the pretzel frame. For a week now they've been posting updates with allusions to "beer" and "salty" and such.

So it's a switch handed switch footed megaspin?

Any Idea what this would be called? posted on 2005-09-27 09:15:47

Switch Bitch sounds good. But if it doesnt have a name yet I vote for "Prison Bitch" or "Anal Plunger" (Fudge packer variation...)

KGB name game posted on 2005-09-26 13:09:53

I have not read every single post to see if it's already there but a CCCP themed would be nice because it's the KGB, y'know.

KGB Perestroïka
KGB Soviet Supreme
KGB Propaganda
KGB Gulag

or, ironically,

KGB Tzar

How flat is flat? posted on 2005-09-22 09:07:51

Haha, slantland, a new sub-genre of flatland.

Yeah, even surfance with a tiny slant. One gentle kick on the tire and the ball gets rolling.

I am so stoked posted on 2005-09-20 09:41:40

Flatland: the Land of flat beer, flat-chested women AND flat tires.

Wikipedia flatland article posted on 2005-09-20 09:14:16

[quote="DiscoQuinn"]look at the top of the page, there is already a wiki on pedal.[/quote]

What he's talking about is different: it's the article about flatland in the general wiki encyclopedia, not the pedalwiki which is a specialized use of the same software.

And yes it is geared towards "outsiders" to the sport.

Whoever is going to edit this article should point to pedal and the pedalwiki though. Oh, and change the listed "legends", I did not see a lot of big names (Eaton?!) there and Trevor Meyer is put before KJ... No offence to Trevor but...

Or perhaps the dog pound caught him. They don't have internet there.
