I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Who would get offended? I do understand the whole part about the bike check part though.

Why do you have 2 bikes with the same setup? (well, I guess without cranks)
I could see having one with pegs and one without, or the same with brakes, etc.

One has pegs and is built for light street and park.

The other has a freecoaster, no pegs and was built with mostly spare parts.

Your good bike doesn't have pegs on.

It has one on the back right now, I usually run two but the front axel is stripped.

EDIT: Plus it's winter, i've been doing as much riding as Gunz has.

Oh, that's boring.

That's just cold... and I don't mean the winter.

I dont see whats wrong with two pegs, one on the front and one on the back, I'll probably be four pegging when I get plegs.

And if you check the sig pic you'll see two pegs.

No, I like two pegs- that's what I run. I am going to get plegs, but I won't be getting four because I don't think I could possibly grind on my other side.

I don't even want to attempt it... I'll probably fall over onto my bad leg and break it again.

Start small, I can hop over 3 feet and get onto the top of pick-nic tables if I sidehop to my natural grind side.

I have trouble going 18" on my non grind side.


EDIT: this is starting to feel alot like msn...

I doubt I could hop 3 feet sideways... but I never tried it. 18" sounds pretty easy enough but I am not good at all with anything going to my right. I can't even eat on my right side... or do other things with my mouth from the right...
