Kyle painted it in exchange for the Flash image galleries I made for him.

Wow, thanks. I should be getting a digital camera in about a month, at which point, many, many photos will be taken and posted. Are you building the Yamaguchi back up?

Yes, but without flip and chop bars. Okay, now we've officially hijacked this topic. Back to flipchops! Sorry everyone.

"flipped and clipped" or "flopped and chopped"? "flipped and chopped" sounds as akward as those things look!

I've tried the standard flip and chop with the bars ending just after they start to curve up (like most of the pics in this thread) and found them unsatisfactory. I recently did some where, when flipped, they curve up to vertical at the ends. I had left them longer so they were curving back at me but my friends were giving me crap about how bad it looked. anyway, now I have a good sprinting position that simulates the position I would have in drops with my hands all the way on the curves. It also provides some protection against car doors and such (theoretically). Wish I had a pic.
