  1. Ok I'm a street rider (and proud of it) and I might be thinking of doing
    freestyle. So tell me how you do those crazy tricks.

    Especially the one where you jump from seat to wheel.

  2. We actually use a complex system of mirrors, wires, and pulleys to pull
    off the tricks. All those freestyle moves are actually impossible.

    But if you think you might be able to do it, despite it's impossibility,
    try this:
    PRACTICE

    That's why they're called tricks since it is all magic and illusion.
    🙂

    When you can do the tricks without the mirrors, wires, and pulleys, then
    you call them skills. Serious riders don't practice tricks -- They
    practice skills. 😄

    Damn! I had assumed those freestyle tricks where due to quantum
    mechanical tunneling, with every accomplished freestyle rider's motion
    inescapably linked with that of a complete klutz in an alternate
    universe. And to think it's just wirework and mirrors...

  6. well, we do it thru a really complex way of thinking. practice,
    practice, practice, practice, and when your thru doing that, practice
    more!!! thats the ONLY way to learn. you could know exactly how to do
    it, but you probably arent going to get it the first few times,
    especially when you get into the harder stuff. practice everyday, for as
    long as you can. then do that everyday. youll get good at it.
