Apparently you learned to ride about the same time I did.
When I saw your post, it inspired me to go out and ride, hop
until 180 and then ride off backwards . . . .
. . off-road. 🙂
Try it. (Perhaps we can challenge each other to learn
more quickly)
My current nemisis is my back patio (hopping up 4 stairs and
then riding off a 1 1/2 -2 foot drop). I guess I will
attempt it after a few more days practicing hopping (but
right now it is the only thing around that *scares* me).

would just like to clarify when I said congratulations that
was not sarcasm, just realised that it might have seemed
like it the way it was writen. aaron
