~1st, 2nd, and 3rd places will be awarded

You know I was trying them today and failing. I've put a total of maybe 3 hours toward them. Can I still be in?

If so, I'm in.

Yeah, you're in, but if you had landed them before, you couldn't be in.

I'd say I'm in, but considering I can only ride 40ish feet at a time once in a while and am on a 24", I don't think I'll be doing any 360 upspins any time soon.

mill_mobile · 2008-10-19, 04:16 AM

I'm in!
I have attempted them a while back and gave up after nutting myself bad on 2nd attempt!
This could also be the motivation i need to get back into uni in a bigger way!
I'm waiting for a friend to come round soon, as soon as she has gone i'll go and have a practice i reckon!
BTW, so its prob best to video all practive incase i fluke one?!

Yup, I landed one a few weeks back and haven't landed one since.

You're not likely to fluke one until you can consistently land on one of the pedals.

That isn't true. I fluked one, but only got one hop after that before I UPD'd.

I could get one foot on the crank, but it was still shaky, and sketchy. I wasn't comfortable with it. I didn't get close to it until about a month later on the day I got them.

Jeremy R · 2008-10-19, 06:48 AM

in.

SkierAlex · 2008-10-19, 08:38 AM

I almost never fluke tricks. Once I land them for the first time they just keep coming. I wouldn't bother filming all your attempts lol. And anyway, what's the point of learning them if you're only ever gonna land one?

I remember my first 3 spin. I finally got it after practising for *ages*, and then I landed another two on my next 2 attempts.
