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.

Think i get high enough to start trying 180's? I wish i could drop like 20lbs... im 5'11'' and 210lbs... so i bet my weight is working against me...

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...

Use a city council member's car. I never posted this.
