Iwas just going through some really old Freestylin' mags and came across an article that discussed wether or not pegs should be allowed on bikes during AFA contests (AFA , I know that"s along time ago). Anyway , Iwas just thinking about Flatland without pegs.Seems weird to think about riding without pegs.I can't even imagine what our "sport" would be like today without them.I wonder what we would be seeing in runs today without pegs.Well I'm off to practice my Miami hop-hops and boomarangs.. Later . | |

----I'm pretty sure that no-pegs thing was just for the ramp riders, and I don't think it ever happened. | |

I remember that too, and I remember the flat part of the contest where Josh White placed 4th among 12 pros without any pegs. The one picture showed him just standing on the chainstays instead of any pegs. If u stop riding, u will die. | |

Yes, there was a controversy for a short time that said pegs are not freestyle. I used to do shows on a floor that coulcn't be damaged so I did flat with no pegs. Surfers, boomerang/tailwhip/decade stuff, frontyard on the pedal, rollback spins and tricks, G-turns. There's no excuse for being a dickhead. | |
