5 hours later, I get back on Pinkbike...you still here?
yeah man I'll send him the questions later today so fire away!
Right. Here goes.
It seems like you were one of the first mountain bike riders to do opposite tricks, which not many people caught, then or now. Now people are just starting to catch up, but rather than do it for video parts people are starting to spin opposite 360s or barspins for points at slopestyle competitions. Do you think opposite tricks will get as big as they are in BMX now, where practically everyone can whip and spin both ways?
Anyone know of I site I can check what spoke size I need? Or if you may know, Its an NS rotary front hub, and an alienation runaway 24'' rim, its 36h.
dt swiss spoke calculator. google dat shit.
thanks. Only problem is that the runaways have that center cross lace pattern and I dont think the website will calculate that... not sure though. so i dont know if it will make that much of a difference.. Ill just take it to the lbs. thanks again!

Personally I don't think it's going to be overly common in the MTB world as everyone's more focused on being smooth or stylish, hence why you see so many duplicates in a single run at SS and DJ events. Those kids either wanna do something hyper styling, or just blow your mind with something insane. Oppo tricks are gnarly, but they're just not eye catching to the masses who typically don't know any better.
Street? Probably. People who watch that tend to enjoy the technical aspect more.
If enough MTBers get setting up small(ish) jams in cities near them then it'll progress, eventually groups of riders that usually have seperate jams with have jams together and grow from there.
