I learned to do a Nathan Fabian by starting with one finger and then slowing adding the other finger. I was doing a lot of Half Fabians with just the one finger and one day it happened, the Full Fabian.

You know... It really warms my heart, a deep down kind of warm, to see this small community come together, across the world, from behind hundreds of computers, to make fun of and bully up on someone none of us have ever met. Puts a smile on my face.

Fabian - fay-bee-an, noun. A special type of trackstand whereby the cyclist elevates only the middle finger of each hand toward the veiwer. Originated when cyclist Nathan Fabian could not think of anything to do with his hands while trackstanding, such as: sticking fingers in nose, drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, eating pie, or twirling hair. etymology: Of internet origin.

it could be a new freestyle trick. someone is trackstanding no-handed, then starts juggling, then does a FABIAN...yes, bonus points.

is this the humor to which the "dry humor" thread was referring? replies like these make me wish I were a funnier guy so people would laugh at the funny things I said, unfortunately, i'm dull... that's why i'm posting on the internet instead of saying funny things to make my friends laugh

We should have a contest between Juvi Kyle and Terror in Pink for whose telling people to "just shut up" or "piss off" is more ineffective.
