  1. Having just watched Sofa's tacoeing of a coker vid, I'm quite interested
    to know what people can do on cokers other than road ride. I've seen the
    guy hand wheel walking in OWNL and I'm sure a picture of someone else
    regular wheel walking too. And of course off-roading!

    What can you do on a coker? Or what have you seen/heard of people doing
    on them?

    Cheers,
    James

  5. Zack Baldwin rode his down a very large staircase (about 20 steps?) at
    the Laguna Seca Raceway on the night before the 24 hour race we did
    there. The bridge was part of the race course, crossing over the
    racetrack. A number of bikes were coming the other way up on the bridge
    while Zack and I were heading out to test-ride the course. I said, "Hey,
    I dare you to ride down those stairs!" as the bike guys were saying
    similar things to each other.

    So Zack hopped on, rode to the edge of the bridge, and brrrrrrumph! made
    the hard transition at the bottom! I saw the tire flex way out to one
    side, but the wheel was fine.

    Problem was, this was not his Coker, it was borrowed from John Hooten
    and had the regular rim. We had plans to photo and video him doing it
    again after the race, but we never got around to that. It was pretty
    cool. I wish I could turn off my "fear switch" like that...

  6. These have been referenced before but here are clips of Ben, Ben's
    friend Jerry, and Brad doing tricks on their Cokers. Thing is, the
    clips were shot two years ago when the boys were 12 and 9 years old and
    not too long after they had received their Cokers. They have of course
    come a long way since then.

  7. I've entered the Unicon10 freestyle comp on my coker. With Jack Halpern
    on his coker. We were SOOOO bad I'm surprised we got a medal for coming
    last out of three. BUT we were the first to do coker freestyle in
    competition.
