fixed steering conversion prototype

[Polish jet pilot]

Man fixed steering is getting BIG! Good direction for the older riders with health issues! Really!

 

[THRUST]

it just has alot of possiblities i think and with a system like this you can take it on or off without affecting your ski or doing a overhall on the hood area . once you have riden some fixed steering skis you will see there are alot of advantages for it over a traditional pole .

front flips are coming

front flips are coming

Shens. If they were, we'd have seen them in MX/BMX already.
EDIT: *I* haven't seen them. :biggrin:

I see front flips in BMX all the time. They hit the front brake right before they take off the ramp. But that doesnt mean they are possible on a ski...

 

[WaveDemon]

I absolutely think front flips are possible.

I absolutely think front flips are possible.

but there's no front brakes on a ski!!:bad3:

In my mind it's going to take a drop nozzle and have to be slightly off-axis off of a non-breaking wave.

I doubt they are using the front brake to front flip on a BMX bike, just the right technique. They have been doing front flips in FMX for a while now.

They have been doing front flips for sometime now in BMX. Matt Berringer ws one of the first ones dong them consistently 10 years ago. In the past 3 years people have been doing them with more and more combo trick like no handers, double front flips, front flip tailwhips, ect... And no one is using a front brake to create the rotation just purely hucking it to get the spin going.

Matt for an internet message board/forum posting guru you need to spend more time on YouTube!

 

[Matt_E]

I watch documentaries on Youtube, that's about it. :biggrin:

 

[dbrutherford]

I have been watching the Lowes how to video things... I hate home repairs...

they have been in bmx for a while . also we have foothold the dont, we have water to land on to get started not everyone has a foam pit , and we have trim and horse power to get us there . I am going for it and i am sure some others will as well . keep you posted on my injuries

 

[Matt_E]

keep you posted on my injuries

:biggrin:

Be careful.

FYI

I was talking to Pancakepete about this trick and he said the most painfull landings he ever had were trying front flips.


I think he made a mistake in how he went about it though. he was trying to replicate the motion of a wakeboarding tantrum flip.

i will agree i think they will be painful , but that is more motivation to get them right and start small
