yea i can kick the seat up like that into seat in back/ seat on side. i
just cant get it through. so its basically just keep trying and u'll
eventually get lucky? or should i lower the seat or sumtin? i can
sometimes do a toe catch through legs into heal catch but i never got
it the other way around... i guess i should just practice idk.

RIght now it's in my LBS. They are still waiting for Norco
(distributer) to reply back with the warrenty information.

But yeah, Either way, I think I should get a new hub for it a stronger
one that wont break like the other.
Any recommendations? I feel like getting something ISIS but I don't
want to get a KH because I don't feel like spending too much. I think
the uni is 36-spoke.

I can do rolling 3spins for a half year now, but they are still not
consistant.
Sometimes a managed 3 in a row but mostly I need 5 attempts to land
one... :(
Friday, I don't know why, I managed 10(!) in a row. Not all very clean
but still 10 whithout a dismount... :D

btw: My Bigspins are getting better an I'm also really close to
Hickflips :)


p.s.: Sorry for my English :eek:

Yes a lower seat should really help. Just try to spread your legs out
when it's coming up.
Good luck.

Do you have a 48 spoke rim, or 36?

If its 36 go for a KH or a nimbus Hub, they are actually pretty cheap
for jsut a hub.

If its a 48h, look at the Qu-Ax hub.

oh wow, what i said made no sense
MORE DETAILS : (lol)

the uni put a big gash in the snake , but it was gone when i went back
to see if it was still there an hour later, so i'm pretty sure it
crawled off and died.

Been meaning to get around to this.

A few days ago I learned how to do my 1footed grinds:cool: I'm also
learning how to wheel walk a bit, I can only do about 4-6 revs though.
I think thats pretty good seeing as I havent even hit my 6 month mark
yet. I'm also trying to add some steez to those 1 footed grinds by
180'ing out, totally sketch right now but I'll land it...hopfully
