That sucks, but look at the bright side.....at least you know what it feels like to loop now. That is a necessary evil when you are learning 12's. :banghead:

thats funny u mention that, cuz the day bfore, i just wasnt gettin up to 12, inchin my way up time after time. then i told my buddy that i might as well loop it to get over the fear. but i really didnt want to.
the fork adjusters got shaved, are those replaceable w/out new forks?

Thats what I said when I was trying "i'm gonna go flip this bitch over i'll be back in a minute" and that is exactly what i did.
so much for the minty plastics :grumpy:

HAHA...I was just thinking that when I read the post. The best was Hinks calling me at work at 5 pm saying, "dude, I broke my bike- I need a ride". I had to contemplate picking him up, since he was laughing at me because I had to stay at work instead of riding. But I rock (just like the avatar says), so I went and picked him and his busted ass new bike up. :rotfl:

When I was learning slow stand ups if the bike wanted to flip, I was having no part of it. I just hopped off and let it do it's thing. Ask Andy some of those I probably should have tried to save, but my bike took the tumbles like a champ.
