    Well, i went out today with my mnew fisheye lens, and tryed to land a
    half/half off a curb, for those of you that dont know what that is, its
    a 180,180 on a bc wheel, i have proly landed a half/half off a curb 4-5
    times before i filmed this, i suspect the reason it took me so long to
    get it is i never took a break, and kept getting tired and more tired.
    i think if i had taken a break i proly woulda landed it in 10 min vs
    the 30 min it did take. i kepted at it becauce my lighting was dieing
    fast.

    i hope you enjoy, its really freakin funny.

    Evan-

    That was so cool. It shows how much you put into landing it just once.
    I wish I still had that much energy, endurance, and determination. Hey,
    what am I saying? I'm stupid, I can do that.

    I think that vehicle distracted you, made you not think of the trick,
    and that caused you to actually land it.

    Nice video. Were you doing a hand ww at the end after you landed?

    Have you tried a half and half (on flat ground) but starting backwards,
    doing a 180, and another 180 and continue going backwards? That would
    be cool.

    It also goes to show that if you try hard enough, you WILL land it.

    Ya, if you want to. That would be awesome. If you get it on the ground
    with not too many tries you could try it off the curb too.🙂

    That's amazing riding, and fantastic determination. It's so satisfying,
    isn't it. 🙂 I think the longest I've spent on one line non-stop was
    45 minutes...but it was worth it. Keep the videos coming!

    you really put a lot of determination into it. Makes me want to just go
    out and do it now. LOL, even though I haven't actually got a bc yet.
    Sigh. Soon...
