Biking

this what i rode back in the day ,i went through around 3 of them and many other bmx bikes, me and my dad would go to the police auction when the were selling the stolen bikes they recoverd and get 5 bikes for $25

Yeah, that's mid bar spin. I learned to do them in my lame excuse for a manual, then took them to the jumps. Doing them in a hop I feel is harder than a jump, but I can get them done on my BMX. If you can manual and get them done you can do it jumping. Just find a jump you are really comfortable doing good pitch seat x-ups over (no bow legs) and give it a throw.

OK, you BMXer's are sic and dimented! The only time my bars ever spun is because my entire bike helicoptered from accidently tailwhippin a tree while near WFO, and I've got the perma mashed bicep to proof it.

Oh, and since we're showing pictures, here's one of me ridin A-Line at Whistler. (OK, after ridin A-Line)

Cool dislocations! Did you pop them back in yourself? I did that with my pinkie once.

[midnighthunder89]

Wow surprised you only popped them out and not more...

[T.Low]

It looked pretty bad at the time, like something out of "Lord of the Rings". I thought best to get exrays and have a pro tell me what the prognosis was. I really didn't want to risk any long term damage. The Dr. was actually pacing back and forth and said "you haven't had enough gas yet". He popped and twisted them so fast, I was really impressed. And most important, no long term damage.

[ihatemybike]

Yeah, I could see that. Good to hear you didn't have long term damage.
