weight is a very personal thing. i've had a crankless setup due to a back injury a couple years ago-that was around 17lbs. For me, that was TOOO light, but it kept me on one wheel. 20 lbs is my magic number now, give or take.

and yes, over time, i think a lot of riders end up with lighter bikes. when i started 5-6 years ago, my bike was around 30lbs. going lighter happens over time. i'm pretty open about being a weight freak tho. less weight=less fatigue=riding longer and harder with less soreness. word.
but seriously, that Strowler is on point. I hear they ride very well.

That's exactly what I was getting at in my earlier post, that over time (years), most people want to go lighter. I'm getting what ya'll might consider old, and riding everyday at some point starts to wear down a body. I can't always snap back to 100% the next day if I've ridden a whole lot the day before. anyways. idk

not true. i spent 3 hrs a day for an entire week just riding up ramps and then going back down fakie, and doing 180's and just riding fakie, just to learn it.
i want a freecoaster because i think that it has its own unique style, and every rider can take it and make it his own.
not having to backpedal is just a bonus.

Ok about freescoasters:
1. They are not easier than going fakie with a cassette, if anything they are harder.
2. They are nothing but trouble and i would avoid them.
