k so all my friends can EASILY ride for along time without holding onto handlebars. however, when i try to do it... i cna only do it for like half a second.

am i doing sometjhing wrong or do i just have bad balance? lol should i just keep practicing?

cause even my friends who dont own bikes can do it with ease

Nice try, dude. Now I'm pissed.

maybe your headset isn't properly adjusted. I can ride no hands a lot easier on some bikes than others, and that's probably because of the headset.

LOL what is that thing..

mhm good idea. but i dont have my bike yet so we've all been riding the same bikes

That cat has the same facial expression you do in your ava. Even kinda looks like you. Creepy.

*points to power balance thread*

searched power balance and closest thing i can find is shaqs power balance wristbands??

Whoosh

I know! I was laughing my ass off when I found that pic.

It probably has to do with the angle of your steering tube and the rake of your fork. Both of these things determine the reactivity of your steering and the overall twitchiness of the bike. Track-like geometry (high steering tube angles and low rake) can lead to high levels of twitch and a tendency for the fork to wobble as soon as you take your hands off the bars. That, or maybe you just suck at riding.

Sit straight up and pedal fast. lol

you cant be scared.

Were you also laughing your ass off when your avatar picture was taken?

I'm fairly certain that is Sassy (the cat) from the film Homeward Bound, when she falls in the river.

how can they if they don't own bikes?! ;0)

No, I was holding my breath.

are you riding with toe clips? There's probably nothing wrong with your bike, you just need to practice more or have more foot retention.

Yes.....foot retention is a must for no handed riding. That's why all of the little bmx feglets riding around here can't do it.....wait.....whut.....

Yeah, I don't get that. In what way does foot retention come into play while riding no hands?

It has nothing to do with it. Whitekimchee is either an idiot or trollin.

I do no handed wheelies while standing on the saddle and rear rack.
So your question has no merit.

Enjoy

This cat like creature looks like you in your avatar haha

Are you riding fixed? Are you new to it? I could easily ride hands-off on a freewheel-equipped bike, but I always coasted. I found doing it fixed was a little more tricky, since you're necessarily shifting around a bit more than when coasting, and there was a bit of a learning curve for me.

Wtf.. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!

I was actually having a nice day before this.
