CoppellStereo Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Also, if you dont know about me (Im steven on the video) I ride with both brake levers on one side, my left arm is pretty much disabled, I am missing muscles and my hand is about half the size of my right hand, so I have overcome a lot to ride like i do! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 You wouldn't mind doing a thread on how your brake works would you? I'm interested to see how it all works and it would be a big help to other people with similar problems to give them ideas and inspriation. do a search for a member called 1handedluke and just view all his posts that should give you an idea of his story. I'm pretty sure he uses the one lever to operate both brake with a monty splitter. he's got a strap on his bars to hold his hand on aswell I think.

Twilite Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Just watched the vid, and I enjoyed it a lot. The editing was good, very relaxed mood, and the quality/filesize ratio was real good compared to some I've seen on here. And it looked like you were having fun riding, which is what we are all here for. Nice work, I look forward to seeing more. :) Was nice to see someone else riding a Woodman too. First one I've seen in a video. I'm also very interested in how you run your brake, I'll keep an eye out for the thread. Which bike were you riding in the video? I was looking for some dual lever action, but didn't catch any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride the BT. here is a picture of me riding, you cant tell about my left hand, i dont have enough money to buy 2 sets of gloves, so my left glove is way to big, i have always thought of trying to get a glove place to sponser me, even though im not that good :"> Picture of me Riding Edited April 20, 2005 by CoppellStereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 excellent video the editing was spot on for what it was ! just goes to show a good video doesnt always have to contain 15 foot drops and 10 foot gaps . :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Sweet dude. I highly admire you sticking to the sport, even with the disability, if it even can be called that, as it clearly isn't a disability to you :D However, can i suggest that when you next go riding, you bend your arms. Watch any trials video and you will notice there arms are bent. Yours, and all your friends infact always have your arms perfectly straight, and not to sound gay, but it makes your riding look a shit load more sketchier then it actually it. So yeah, relax when you ride, bend your arms when on back wheel :P Nice intro too heh, very smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
