I'm not a fish, I'm a mammal, human to be specific.
I only run two pegs, however I occasionally don't run any. Kinda depends on my mood.
I certainly think I'm hard from time to time though. The older I get, the less frequent that happens, but they make drugs for that. I may look into that soon.
I don't know what "4 da oppsfeebs easy 3" is. I'm guessing it's a trick, which means I can't do it. I'm not very good.
Depending on your definition of "bitch", I don't think I can dispute the accuracy of that statement. If you define it in the literal sense, I'm not female, and not a dog, so that's not true; however, I do go to sleep at like 10:00pm, and I frequently make plans and don't carry them out so you could say I "bitch out" a lot.
I've already discussed my fishness.
So I retort by inviting you to go into a corner, crank up some Panic at the Disco on your Skullcandies, and cry big wet crocadile tears over the death of street riding. I.e., go cry emoboy.

It's been really really slow at work. Shit like this just makes my day.

Top thread, best thing on here in ages.
I actually agree with the but about balance points being all weird on newer frames, old manuals and nose manuals looked so much better. Not sure about the 4 pegs table thing though.
-
Magikarp comment wiis, fuck all you fish.
-
Not bad for a 13 inch backend and 4 pegs I think. Half cab table http://instagram.com/p/e7l6eKjCZ5/?modal=true
And a forwards table that's a bit better: http://instagram.com/p/cHUuf6DCdm/?modal=true

well at least you mention something rad.
PAN-FUCKIN-TERA!
-
okay they can maybe count if u do em from a straight hop
-
Don't back down fish, evolve to Gyarados already.
-
id say its more the fact that not many people have any style anymore that makes things look dumb. people just muscling shit like stevie churchill, getting the tricks done but making them look super stiff and shitty at the same time

can u even freecoaster lol wtf
-
I almost agree with OP, every fucking edit i watch there's a side on view of the bike and the OSS star or whatever the fuck has their handlebars like 20degree forward. the fuck is with that. i tried it before and all it did was make my dick hurt. i dont understand how people ride this shit.
also despite his riding being dope as fuck, charlie crumlish has the most ugly bike in bmx. its almost worse than a renault megane with the big bum. fucking disgrace.
bmx is gay lol
-
Sure is. It sure is.

At any rate, I hope all you are doing excellent tables.
-
A lot of is lackluster, same style, generic street stuff but... there was a time where everyone was doing unturndowns in girl jeans and 180ing wedges to wedges, which was equally lame.
I think it's like what they say with old music, you remember the good stuff and forget all the bad but I guess with the internet your just forced to see more now than ever.

Cool thread, would recommend.
Anyway; I hated the way BMX looked back in the Days. Everything is so much smoother and well done today. I Think of Robbo´s and Castillos manuals and they were just pure boring, looked like they didnt have to make an effort for it (which is probably true). And nose wheelies a while ago was just a slow descent while falling from a nose bonk, not a manual as people are doing now.

Jason Enns is the man, thus nullifying your opinion of his invert.

You're trippin. Robbo's manuals looked great, especially at high speed.
I think a lot of the awkwardness comes from people riding mega tall bars. Their body position is so upright that if you look at their body only and imagine there's no bike it's like they're riding around on a segway. It looks even worse if the bars are also super wide. I'd bet there wouldn't be much of this if people rode bikes proportional to their size.
On the other hand, some tricks are just naturally awkward looking like nose manuals and tailwhips.

okay, its not really gay fish if you also run 2 brakes/gyro and youre on a vert ramp so fuck off noone even rides vert anyway except maybe jfax

far as I'm concerned, if you're not riding 4 pegs, front brakes and a gyro, YOU'RE CHEATING!!!
cheating yourself out of a whole lot of fun. :)
if you didn't ride in the 80's, you're opinion is not valid.
If you did ride in the 80's but quit, post pics of your wife tecnic1

I ran three pegs in the 80s. I like to say it was so I could feeble both ways, but the truth is it was so I could still give people rides.

Green box for the ginger missus.

u run 2 in da back 1 in da front?

Ran. Past tense. I'm a strictly 2 or 0 peg dude these days.
-
reverse 3s is a legit peg setup
-
homie used to run work boots and just 1 peg in back was ill as hell

I only do hop over crooks.

I saw someone run that setup probably like a year ago.
I heard of some skatepark church with a foam pit in hours deep into the country. So my friends and I went to check it out. When we got there, their were these older cats. One was riding like Primo Stogie peg on a older yellow Standard, his buddy had a S&M Holmes. Both bikes completely retrofitted out, both in work boots, it was like a glimpse into the past.
-
I rode 1 front 2 rear for a long time in the 90's for crooked grinds, as there was no LHD to put the sprocket on the left side of BB
-
it's the future...
-
Fuck that, I'm vegetarian and I'm not eating no damn fish sticks.
-
I do agree that peope ride too wide bars. But if you watch old videos the small bars look retarded too. Look at old Josh herrington vids. Its kinda up to proportion I guess.
And I know the number of pegs is sans.terres signature topic, but come on.
-
I remember when the Odyssey Lumberjacks came out. 8.25 was huge
-
The thing with bars is that wide, tall bars just feel better. I cut some Benny bars too narrow awhile back, and they were worthless. I just put them on my kids bike.
Don't get me wrong, I like my bike to be aesthetically pleasing, I want to ride my bike more when it looks good, but I'm a function first dude, generally speaking.
-
its not soley the size of the bars, or headtube angle, or number of pegs...
you've got to get it
if you like eating fishsticks...
and you like putting fishdicks in your mouth....
you're a gay fish!!!!!
-
I see your point but must disagree. If the geometry of the bike is the result of an conscious decision of the rider to give his or hers bike the feel that he desires, then fine by me. I feel that the often considered akwardness of four pegged riders tables is due to how these riders' style tend to be like. I feel like these riders have a type of "stiffness" when it comes to riding, as in that they can send a wild street combo with ease, but when trying to turndown or table it just comes out akward.
When it comes down to aestethics of the bike and riding I must say that the by far worst thing is riders who embrace the MTB scene more than BMX. Nothing makes me cringe more than a MTB style rider setting up a BMX and riding it like an MTB.
-
clearly, no one in the UK likes fish dicks

uk riders always seem pretty solid from what we tend to see out hurr'
maybe its just what i see documented or maybe its the sky high prices for parts that keeps all the homies in check.
jfax has a point tho. i see what hes saying. gay fish is a gay fish no matter what the fishbowl. i see what you sayin' pimp.
you done changed the game.

MOM!
BARTS DEAD!
DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT HOW BAD YOUR TRICKS LOOK WITH HELLA NEW SCHOOL GEO!
-
are low manuals still cool? The best feeling is when you are going down a hill and pull up so slightly as your front tire levitates an inch of the ground and you're holding on to the bars with just your finger tips.
At any rate Garret is very stylish with newschool geo, plus he can do all the niblygiblys. Also check out Devon Smillie, Simone Barraco and Kris Kyle. Although bikes are becoming more optimized for small street shit, it doesn't stop the people that want to have a little style achieve that. I see what you are saying with manual/ nose manual, although being harder, it is still possible to lock them in and make it look smooth. Some times a little bit of correctional struggle(not chad kerly/churchill style) could actually make the trick look better.
Classic geo still exists. I guess get it if you think you will become more stylish.
As the famous proverb goes, "a bad workman always blames his tools"
