Me and my roommate were a little bored so we decided to take some pictures with a crappy camera... was so hard to time... but got a few goodones of just practicing hops and stuff... for like a week of riding i dont think im doing horrible... Little session got ended early when i came down with a hissssss... Thought my brakes were dragging or i caught a leaf... then i remembered i didnt have breaks... turned out to be a flat... Any pointers... My roommate was just practicing manuals/wheelies and i was just mainly doing hops... ill get my HD camera out next week and take some videos. I know im not good just looking for some tips or pointers.

180's are not about the height, its about how fast you can spin the bike around. Some people hop 2 feet and do one. While people like me only hop a few inches.

Manuals and 180s...That's all I need to learn and I'm good. I would manual everywheres.

AGREED. I lost ALL of my hop I had last summer (now I can get maybe 6 in.) and I can still pull off 120's sometimes. I probably lost my hop because I spend too much time on the pegs.

You shouldnt need to make your own. There are ledges EVERYWHERE.

Unless they got those stupid knobby things to keep you from grinding. Stupid City Council, grinding doesn't trash bare rails, usually...

Truck bumpers, jersey barriers, benches, tables, babies, it all works...
And for how played out nautical star tats are, I still want one on the inside of my left arm.
