Trying 3 taps on the Mongoose

Practicing 3 taps on the Goose. Took me several tries to get it on video. Who says you can't have fun on a wally-world bike?

Dang, that was nice man! You bunny hop/j-hop way different than I do, it's like a motocross seat bounce bunny hop.....MotoBunny!

It's sweet looking though. Cheers on the skills my good man!

Haha thanks, man! And yeah I just started doing that hopping style. Usually I bunny hop with both wheels level to each other. But it seems like I can catch a bit more air when I hop off the back wheel like that. I think that move is called the "american bunnyhop".

Damn bro, you just about got em. Christ I"m sick of winter at this point. Not riding is driving me crazy. Back to practicing barspins in my basement.

yeah well that's one advantage of living waay down south like me. This was one of the coldest winters we've had in a while and we still never got any snow. Heck we only had a few freezes. So overall I can still ride during the winter. Unfortunately... our summers are long and fierce.

Is that a mongoose? Hella props if it is!!

Philitup (Mar 14, 2014 at 19:05)

Yep. Was $150 at walmart and it's still pretty dang fun to ride.

midbestdj (Mar 14, 2014 at 19:30)

Dang man that's sweet! Hopefully I'll be able to pull 360s in time

nikitoy (Mar 15, 2014 at 8:14)

not bad...you are so far better than me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Philitup (Mar 15, 2014 at 8:32)

Haha thanks. Everything takes practice

transitory (Mar 17, 2014 at 4:32)

Sweet. You tried hopping out too?

Philitup (Mar 17, 2014 at 5:40)

"Hopping out"? What do you mean?

transitory (Mar 18, 2014 at 10:28)

So instead of pivoting round on the back wheel, you hop round the rest of the 360. Pretty fun

Philitup (Mar 18, 2014 at 11:33)

Oh ok like a 180-fakie and then 180 out of it. I haven't learned to do that yet

. I can do a 180-fakie but I can't hop out if it. Need to practice some more. I really want to be able to do a complete 360 on my bmx on flat ground

Philitup (Mar 19, 2014 at 15:23)

Nice job...

Philitup (Mar 14, 2014 at 19:19)

Thanks. Still need some practice but it's really fun.

Turl19miligrum (Mar 15, 2014 at 3:21)

Oops,,it's a rigid fork

Philitup (Mar 15, 2014 at 4:37)

Yeah I generally prefer suspension but it still rides pretty good

machuqueiro (Mar 15, 2014 at 14:22)

nice

Philitup (Mar 15, 2014 at 14:54)

Thanks

loicam (Mar 16, 2014 at 9:58)

Try it on a fgfs now! :O

Philitup (Mar 16, 2014 at 11:41)

I have one that's set up fixie and one that's set up with a freewheel. I'm not brave enough to try it on my fixed gear but I might try it on the freewheeling one
