Hey guys, i haven't been on this site in months, ever since it went down when nick was re-arranging it all. I don't know how i feel about the new look yet. Since it's summer, i'm planning on coming back to this regularly, gonna start riding again. Anyways, my brother is trying to get on real world (mtv reality show) and i couldn't care less about the show, but he really wants to get on, so i told him i'd help him. If you guys could vote for him daily (and maybe get a friend too) that would be great. Just sign up (username, pw, e-mail, and birthdate (make it above 18 years old)) and vote for him. Thanks guys!

Hey Curtis, good to see you are coming back to riding.

That bike looks like a pretty good deal for the price.

Seriously, if you have a sponsor, you made a sponsor video. Why can't he just post the sponsor video? Or even tell us the names of your sponsors at that.

Thanks for the advice guys. I dropped my front tire pressure and i've been using my new bars. My wrists haven't hurt yet. I love the skims, they are great. I think the higher rise also helps me. It allows me to hold the bars more comfortably.

Here is a good article that should be able to teach you the technique.

[i]"Yes, it sure does say 41Thermal right on the brake bridge. So what this means is the whole frame is 41Thermal not just the brake bridge. Now you are going to wonder about the warranty. The frame is going to have a LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY against manufacturers defects judged on a case by case basis. So if you have an old frame and throw it against a tree to get a new one, I can't help you."[/i]

Direct quote from the website. It's a full 41thermal frame.

I understand what you mean lane, except i'm still a beginner (i started last summer) and i'm not doing anything that i really fall from. I am only trying flat 180s and trying to learn to fakie at the moment.

Re: 180's posted on 2006-05-13 13:34:27

I don't mean to take this thread, but i think it's pointless for me to make a new one.

But is there any difference between 180ing off of something and 180ing flat? Because i can 180 on flat ground pretty well, but as soon as i try to 180 off of a box (i'm using an 18 inch box) i can't even spin to 90. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

Wrist Problems posted on 2006-05-13 13:11:25

Lately when riding, i've been having wrist problems. By problems, I just mean pains in my left wrist and I keep hurting it over and over. I think it might be because my bars are bent and it puts all the stress on my left wrist when i land. I'm not sure though. I ordered Ody skims a few days ago, so i'm hoping that i will receive them by Tuesday. I was just wondering if this could be caused from something else or if anyone else has this problem.
