Alright...this was a drunken post. But yes, I did take the recommendations and have started using the straps. They help alot. I think the store guy told me to not use straps for maybe the first 10 minutes but I must have forgotten. If you dont believe me in hitting and falling that much its okay, I did do most of that, like hit a car, flip over the bars on the speed bumps, smash my knees ect.

I just realised that it will take alot longer than a few days to get riding backwards, and wheelies and slalom skids, and 180s and such. Sorry for wasting everyones time, Im just going to practice and see what comes. I am also going to talk to the person who installed my fixed cog and lock ring. He rides 52-13, and has been riding for a while. Maybe he can give me tips.

Thanks again for your recommendations, keep them coming if you wish.
