poopipe Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I get what Mark's saying now - they just sound proper sensitive compared to my old shite one. I can't see them completely preventing you from doing anything, you'd just have to adapt like you did when you first took your brakes off - like when you learnt not to land your back wheel on the corner of things.on a completely unrelated note....i fancy the girl presentor off popworld something chronic this morning - i think its the christmas pudding suit.

A!! Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 on a completely unrelated note.... i fancy the girl presentor off popworld something chronic this morning - i think its the christmas pudding suit. no no no. Check BBC2 now it should be TMI, then the female presenter on that. Christmas pudding or no christmas pudding, she is mighty fine. Back to the freecoasters. I think i'm going to wait a while before i go out and buy one, simply because i have a tendency to get things that **ck up on me. And hopefully by the time one is released that is reliable, and worth buying, i will still be able to lace it to my current rim. Thats hoping a lot, but i'm sure it'll be reet. But oh my how tempting are they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 You say they disengage very easily. When going for a tail tap on a quarter you do tend to roll back slightly to get that balance. Would it disengage then? Also on 540 taps, if the hub were to disengage it could be rather dangerous. The ramp riders who do use freecoasters tend to use brakes. I haven't seen any freecoaster ramp riders going brakeless. This is why i am unsure on the fact of using a freecoaster as i ride ramp a fair bit now.Maybe it's just down to changing the way you actually perform these moves?Maybe if i were to buy a freecoaster and set it to engage on the highest setting (?) then when pulling doing a fakie down a big ramp i would just use a whole pedal stroke to disengage the hub. I guess that would be a good setup? As it would allow quick pedal kicks to a certain extent.OBM have you ever used one? I wonder do they slip as they're not running on normal cassette pawls, are they?I think the question being is; on the highest setting how much pedal movement would i need for it to engage, half/ quarter pedal stroke or less? Maximum slack means about a quarter stroke to reengage it. Minimum slack is about 10deg of pedal movement at most, which isn't much at all, which is also why most people don't run it like that 'cos it means that if you slightly move your feet when doing a fakie manual or hop or whatever, the hub engages and you get sent You can do taps 'n' 5 taps with them, it's just a case of learning to do them right. There's that Antony Villani vid where he's doing tyretaps brakeless and chainless (and sprocketless, but the chain's the important bit ), so it's do-able, just harder. They don't skip or anything either, just 'cos when you pedal, it's engaged, so it can't skip, if you get me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 That vid was rather cool. He's not really a high end rider though i believe. But that tail to nose was awesome nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangler Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) For any of you that honestly care.I was at the allnighter at corby skatepark on friday night and they finished there resi ramp.In the space of an hour of it being open a kid smashed his jaw to peices and a guy broke his wrist on it, so it's already got blood spattered on it. If your interested go down and get your barhumps on.It's very squidgy Edited December 24, 2006 by spangler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its Morgan Wade that does the flair on the scooter, crazy shizzle. Edited December 29, 2006 by huck_it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 It was Shad/Chad from Goods BMX store who did the bellyflop into the pond on RF15, and it was indeed Morgan Wade doing (another...) a flare.Got the Lotek Vancouver DVD today, it's too good. It's one of the nicest looking and edited videos I've seen out of any "action sports" genre or otherwise. The angles are amazing, they even got a "colourist" to sort out the look of it 'n' stuff like that. It's just amazing. That, and it's got the Lotek Mixtape on it, the trailer for that, a pretty cool slideshow, and a bonus section which has stuff from Mike Ardelean, Bob Scerbo, E-Man and some others. Well worth getting, I think it's £14.99 or so but you're getting 2 videos for that price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth getting, I think it's £14.99 or so but you're getting 2 videos for that price... I was going to post that up on here when i saw it in stock at Alan's, just to let people know. But by the sound of it from what you said, and plus the awesome trailer they made for it, it is going to be one of the few dvds i will actually buy instead of waiting to watch them on the internet. Simply because to get the full affect of it it needs to be played on a tv, not through some shoddy video on the internet. So yeah, if anyone wants to know what it is, and hasn't seen the trailer: check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
