Nope. I do as well, I got a frame thats a smidgen too big for me( I'm 5'6 and have a 19.5" frame >_> ) so I pedal up hard and try to balance. Same for wheelies, which I can't do very well either. I can't get the sideways balance.

Wow Why bump this >_<

Care to explain?

Because if somebody started a new thread
a) Noone would reply
b) If they did, they would have just said "Use the ^#$&ing search tool"

My comment was direct at his lack of spelling and grammar skills. You replied that you understand his post. To that, I responded that you were educated in Australian schools, where spelling and grammar are not stressed nearly enough.

Please don't use text speak. This is a forum, not a texting venue

You didn't read the rules before you posted. They're taken pretty seriously here. So no more text - spell things out fully, and use proper punctuation. Thanks.

Because people from all over the world read this, and they may not understand your poor grammar, bad spelling, or slang. Also, you don't want the rest of the world to think that BMXer's are a bunch of morons. This is the only forum where we constantly have to remind people to use proper spelling and grammar.

I feel like such a putz. I can wheelie all day long and I can ride a unicycle. But manuals? - - those are tough. I've yet to get the hang of them. Thanks for your tips, Hopper.
