**Smallspin Competition**

I got It! I can't believe it! I just practiced for like 2 hours
straight. Here it is on youtube(might not be processed yet). I landed
it on my Nimbus X, even though I was switching between the Nimbus and
my Qu-ax.

I say that was too sketchy, you only rotated your body 90 degrees. I
think we should be promoting smooth style therefore should only be
allowed one recovery hop max.

I haven't been able to practice, I've been throwing up all day. 😠

Remember Shaun's quote "one hop is a gift"?

I do agree too and not just because it gives me more chance to win, you
made a prehop and 3 hops after and your body did only make about a 90
rotation not the full 180

This one is a lot smoother. Only one small recovery hop.

Edit: Might be still processing

Edit: You can watch it now. Also, Hope you feel better Brian

I get the impression I'm not commited enough for these competitions.
haha. Tried for 20 mins. Landed them with 90 degree turn but couldn't
get the 180. Came in. Guess 20 minutes wasn't enough.

I would say the smoother one counts. Looks cool.

I think this is unfair on us people who live in countrys other than the
us. people like me who live in the UK have had like 2 hours of light
since the competition started, thats not long enough to learn, land and
film a trick now is it.

I wasn't committed either on the last two contests(still haven't landed
a 360 unispin or a crankflip) and I wasn't too sure about this one (I
was confused with the spin stuff). But I figured It out then I went out
to practice. I'm surprised how much I got into it. That was probably
the most I practiced in a row on one trick and the second most fun to
learn. (Gliding was the most fun 🙂 )

Edit: Sparky, maybe it is but at least you already won two of the
contests

Much better, that one definitely counts although I'd really like to see
one without the prehop and I'm sure you could do it.

As for whats been said about the different time zones, that seems to be
the nature of these competitions and also the fact that none of us are
at the same riding level. It's really hard to have a legitimate
competition like this but this seems to be the best way to do it for
now. We should definitely keep thinking on a way to make these work
better.

Thanks for everyone wishing me health.

I'm probably gonna go riding with my friend Joel in a bit and I'll try
to get them even smoother then.

Does everyone agree that I can put the Trophy thingy in my sig?

I rode for a little while today and I tried this trick a bit. I find it
really hard to get the full 180 hop twist with the small spin, but I
can do inward unispins and get the spin easily.

I'm not going to focus on this trick very much, I would rather get my
360 unipsins consistant, and I havent even landed a crankflip yet.

It's hard to try to learn so many tricks at once.

aww shucks.. well thanks guys.

I was almost landing some one handed seat out to seat smallspins.
starting with the seat forward, using pedal presure to throw the uni
and catch with the same hand. Looked very cool, well untill the falling
part.

I wanted to add. The small spin jump mount thing I did to practice, I
highly recomend. That helped me feel what i was going for...worked very
very well.
