Well written article and the vid sick as always man! Happy to see you and your crew getting some exposure, also when I watch your edits I go "yeah it'd be fun to do that, seems reasonable" I get to the park and go "yeah this might take a while"

That got me stoked to ride!

I already consider them another league, but it's so hard to judge freestyle and not many people will pass the drug tests

Deffinitely the last thing we need is more healthy nutjobs and now straight edge too

Also the animal house la, fire but I got the feelig that charles littlejohn tried to one up people, you 1 bar this ledge to cab off the curb? Imma gap it
You feakie hop it? Imma fullcab it

And he is a local I mean he could have gone to many other different spots

??? Don't care how big your nuts are...you ain't got the skill to land it, then it doesn't matter how big your balls are. So yes...definitely gotta have skills. Not trying to get down on you but I really don't understand your comment?

Quick question: In a fakie, if you are falling to the right, which way would you turn your handlebars?

Neither , unless you are turning at the same time .

Lean to the left more if your falling to the right .

I think it's a bit of a personal thing. Personally I'll try to get my weight back and carve back with the lean to straighten if I'm falling to try and stabilize...but in the end like Jesp said you have to at some point countersteer left to straighten.

What you should do next is try to learn half cabs and switch cabs. Not just to get out of falling out in fakie but to eliminate the fear of falling. Tricks/skills aren't just about skill, they're about how comfortable you are attempting them. If you can coast fakie without fear of tipping you'll never put your feet down. I've been damn near horizontal on flat without dabbing.
