**Smallspin Competition**

Wait a second, I got them first. That was what the contest was for,
wasn't it? Just because his were smoother🙁 ?.

FIRST TO SUBMIT THEIR VIDEO WINS

Note: As many of you can probably assume, we'll more than likely have a
very sketchy video or two submitted. If a video submitted stirs up any
contreversy, we have a 'majority-rule' policy. The members of the
competition will either agree or disagree that the smallspin was
legit..

At least 3 people agree that Mine qualifies for the first one.

No one that was competing said that Agent Q should win it.
They just said said it was smooth. I agree it was smoother than mine
but the contest is to land it first not the smoothest. Getting it down
smoother comes with time. Wait, I just also noticed it's the first to
submit the vid. His Vid came after mine.

Surfer got first place, Agent in second. The contest is about to gets it
first not whose was the smoothest. Though I think that would be a very
good idea for the next competition, judging not only who nailed it
first but also a second award at the end for who had the best style or
whose was the smoothest. This would give a chance to level the playing
field for the different time zones.

We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
(like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

Surfer,
yer first vid was posted at 4:32(i think) I posted saying I had landed
it at *4:35*..... a little be after, haha prolly cause I felt the need
to land the one handed rolling. That video of yers was said to not
count. Yer second vid was posted at *4:50* I dont think just because
yer vid doesnt have sound and was very quck to make and loade means you
landed anything first. I thought we were givin time to get the video
up, and as long as we let everyone know we landed it, its on film, and
its coming, that it counts. I know the contest was not for whos was
smoothiest. My confusion was in credit. Yer fist vid didnt cont, the
vid that I was uploading as everyone was saying that, did. I dont want
to nit pick and all, but the contest was also for a rolling smallspin(I
know we were alowed one hop) but if its coming down the wire about
first place I would hope the rolling helps my case, or ide never had
tried it yesterday.😄 (very glad I did sooo happy to land that)

Either way Im stoked for us both budy. I think we both did it to quick.
seams everyone is getting scared away:o

Took me about 2 and half hours to get all the footage. I think about
30min to an hour to practice and get one with the prehop.

*Okay okay.* Just re-read the "first to submit video" thing, it looks
like its yer surfer. Tho I dont agree with that rule completely, I will
happily take second.

I think im going to give this one a rest for a bit and just get my 360s
and crankflips 100% consistant, I seem to be getting worse with my
smallspins, I have landed some stationary and alot with just a 90 body
rotation but I cant get them rolling, advice would be great though

Some adivice on rolling:
I was having huge problems with the cranks rotating on me. The only way
I eventually got it was to go very very slow. prety much came to a
stop(my momentum was still going forward a bit, so once my feet were in
positon it had to happen quick or the uni wouldnt come with me) . You
can see in my vid how I pause as to keep the cranks flat.
When I left out the prehop, since I spin to the left, I had to dip my
left shoulder a bit, to get enough torque for the full rotation and
stay over the uni. Aslo doing some rolling 180 u-spins and rolling 360
u-spins will help alot Im sure.

Ok, Maybe I was being too competitive in the last post. I think we
should tie for first. I put up the first really sketchy vid but I
thought it might not be good enough so I ran out side to film a
smoother one. I came back and you said you landed it a couple of
minutes ago and was getting the film up. I submitted the second vid
before you got yours up which means I technically won. You probably
landed yours before me though and even with one pre-hop it would have
still qualified so you landed yours first but I got the vid up first.
So if this wasn't over the internet you would have won. Do you accept a
tie?

P.s. I'll put tied for first "Smallspin trophy" contest in my sig

yea I just thought that, both did yours on a pavement or road
I think that that may help alot because when Im riding into it SIF on
the grass its so uneaven its a struggle to keep stable and ride
straight.
I have to work now because I have my GCSEs in a few weeks but I think I
will go out later and try again, thanks for your help.
