I'd really, really like to read the Albion interview, if someone knows where to find it online.

Relating to the thread, Hambone is fucking sweet.  I love his shit-encrusted bikes, too.

too bad I didn't read this a week ago. the interview was to be found online, it gave kinda desperate vibe

Good luck with your business, I like the idea. I know some guys who wanted to start BMXing but gave up (and moved to MTB) because the bike was simply too small for them.
What selection of tires is available? It looks like dirtmonsters in the pics. I can understand that rims can be made no problem, it probably mainly means re-adjusting of bending radius of extrusion that the rim is made of. But for tires you need completely new mold, which apparently can go up to 10s of K usd.

I can't tailwhip, I can only get one foot on every time. But I can find that one foot on 3 whips, downside whips, opposite whips, fastplant to whips, superman to late whips, nac-nac to late whips, and probably a half dozen other whip variations I am forgetting.
It makes me angry ]=

I also spin my whips really strange, all arms and no kick. It starts out slow and then rockets around at light speed. By the end of a day of trying to learn whips my entire foot is black and blue from the cranks smacking into it, but damnit I want whips just for all the crazy variations.

try to catch the bike earlier. basically aim for it when it's 1/8th of rotation from you. Also, don't think of pedals at first, try to pinch the bike with your feet.
It will be hard to relearn, though

^^^cockmaster is a bowl in Sheffield

I almost learned double suicide barspins last weekend. unfortunately, I mostly landed 1,75 bars to almost actual sucide.

before that, opposite whip (flyouts) I guess.

I have a sort of hunch that I forgot about something, I will make an update if I remember
