Game of "B.I.K.E." - beginner version

[STAG]

So I dug my bike out that has been sitting on my dad's back porch for 5-6 years, untouched, rotting away with two dead-flat tires. Surprisingly they took and hold air. Aside from a few squeaks and a rear-brake cable that is siezed up, I am surprised all it took was some air to be rideable.

Got off work and spent the rest of the night practicing and many failed attempts. This was the best that I got on camera, hope it is good enough to not get an "I".

I think it's good enough

http://youtu.be/XUF9V7GIsNk I kinda did it. I did it better off video when i was practicing. I'll get a better video when I have time to do it outside in the light. My wife got really sick of videoing me! (this was probably take #25 or so!) I just don't want an "I" !! My dirt jump bike has a really short wheel base. makes it tough!

We'll I get a B. After a weird week and deciding to head to sema last night I never got to shoot my vid. But I'll gladly take a B. When I get back I'll do the trick just to show I can and I'll knock out the new trick as well.

Tyler, I think you get bonus points for doing it in the house, and the sweet comments! I'll let the other players chime in with their opinion on whether that was a pass or not. I vote to pass.

Nice work Chance, way to start the game!

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm guessing Kevin is out of the game?

Kyle, we're ready for this week's trick.

I'm assuming the following people are not playing. Correct me if I'm wrong: I'll be removing you from the first page so it doesn't interfere with our schedule

I'm not voting yes or no. But I know I wasn't happy with mine like that. Kept working at it. It was getting down to the wire though.

 

[sixstringsteve]

you have to vote yes or no

 

[Cascadia]

I'll wait for others first. Haha.

 

[Coco]

I would still like to play. I am a ways down on the list, for the trick, but I would still like to play.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Right on Coco, thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you're still in.

I had some better ones while practicing. My wife was just getting tired of watching me biff it in our living room and almost putting holes in the wall and TV. I posted the best one that I had. I'll do it again and post it this week.

 

[rholbrook]

I say yes for Tyler

 

[STAG]

What's the new trick? I am off work at a decent time for once ha.

It looked to me like this was going to be it. Although I am not the official post of the new trick. Kyle you want to weigh in?

I don't think Kevin is playing, so he missed his turn to post a trick. That means it's Kyle's turn. I'm sure he'll post something up tonight.

Yup, Troy is right. The new trick is a trackstand(standing in place without pedaling). You have to hold it for at least 5 seconds for it to count. Feel free to just use your brakes to hold yourself in place or put your front tire against a curb or wall.

 

[sixstringsteve]

do you have to ride into it, or can you start at a stop?

 

[193kyle]

do you have to ride into it, or can you start at a stop?

Either way is fine.
