Re: gorilla rolls..

its a backwards somersault to skiing off the back from highchair position, watch this, look for the guy on the white 636 to do it, it might be a white r6, its a little blurry, but im pretty ure its a white 636...

Re: gorilla rolls..

actually that's an r6. the best way i practice is to get a rear stand. this way you can do the move over and over and get the steps down right.
all the stuff i've practiced was on the stand, the one time i didn't; i fell off the bike.

One of the guys I rode with made some metal plates that went onto the bottom of his shoes. they were pretty cool... lotsa sparks. But they'd probably suck *** for any time you weren't skitchin.

As far as that gorrila roll thing that was pretty baddass. I'd get disoriented as all hell rollin off like that! Good luck with that. it's a little out of my ballpark! I'm still tryin to do wheelies!!

Yeah my boy did the same thing, but skiing gets old after a while, and its hard to stand on your pegs on a wheelie when you got metal on the bottoms...
