I find it very hard to believe this kind of attitude is what 661 want
to promote with thier products.

You seem to think that you are doing a great job being sponsored, with
your amazing riding skills and your great attitude but all we get from
you on here is poor videos, loads of BS, you talking rubbish about
things you know nothing about and bad, unnecessary language.

It may seem vain, but this is partly why I'm buying KH (shinguards and
gloves) and Protec (helmet) gear instead of 661. Their brand seems so
cheap now after seeing the riders they sponsor. If they can afford to
give away so many sponsorships, how much do $40 shinguards really cost
them to make so that they can still turn a profit when they sell them
for only $26 (40% off)?

Back to trials:
The only person I've heard of practicing both hopping directions is
Sponge when he broke his hand/wrist or something and assorted people
who hop differently for SI and SIF. Does anyone practice both ways of
hopping or different stances?
