Once you can manual you shall feel like a boss when riding around town

Roll up on one wheel "hey ladies" and continue on

its more like

1) manual beside ladies
2) loose concentration
3) fall on ass
4) get laughed at by pretty girlies.

That's what it used to be like

The bad part of manualing is when you need to push with your legs and it looks like you are trying to hint to something sexual which might just end well if you play your cards right

unless you get one of those perfect coaster ones where you can just stand up and glide without moving around over the bike. those are the best.

I had one like that today but they usually don't last too long

The worst is when youre falling off to the side bit somehow you think you can save it so you stay on. I do it ocassionally and it never turns out

I tried to manual once and it was almost successful. I can never get the front wheel up high enough, so I just yanked the shit out of the handlebars and went over the back wheel. Managed to walk out of it though.



I ordered some lighter tires for the Kromo today. I want to start riding it again me thinks.

I can manual just about anything these days, its not all about pulling on the front wheel but more about shifting your weight back

I guess it's really just a bunch of trial and error. Do you think a rigid fork would help my riding?

someone talk some sense into this man!

Dude needs to learn, a 36 is not at all an anchor, a 04 marz DJ is a anchor and i don't have too much problems manualing one

I think a new fork and maybe frame is in order for me... Kromo is neat I guess but the Recon sucks. Reccomendations? DMR Reptoid is on mega closeout on QBP so I may just pick one of those up... I don't know.
