Sano, ric of 4416.co.uk, BikeDestroyer Phil (although I would call them nose manuals as technically no brakes were used)
About 10 people all doing these at trix last night! including me (kind of) I just learnt them, so not consistent yet, although I over rotated one and did like an endo 220 and slid out onto the ground haha.....that hurt a little.
Chris Delia from FGL, only person i've seen do these so far, probably helps that he's a really good trials rider also and thats pretty much a mandatory trick if you ride trials!
not front hops, I think they look shit anyways and are really easy, but I know about 4 people that can nollie (front wheel bunnyhop) off of loadsa shit:
Ted, pepperoni (marco), Bikedestroyer (phil), and a couple of others I can't remember, I haven't really tried them yet but its something I intend to learn
Not really sure about that, trials is probably one of the few areas of cycling where it is extremely difficult to do it on anything other than a trials specific bike, more so with trials specific gearing actually, which is so spinny it makes general riding shit/annoying/irritatingly slow, so thats probably why you don't see much trials style stuff done on fixed.
Oh and riding a rail, you mean grinding a rail on a fixed gear right?
Ask and ye shall recieve:
I seen people do them in vids etc ... but not well ... looks clumsy, like they are going to lose it any minute. When I see most urban MTB stuff/trials the riders always looks slick and in control.
I respect the skill, but why not stick a front brake on and do it well instead of doing it badly?
Stable is the key word here.
