Dave is a very inspirational human being fo sho!
...i can pull at least one trick lol!
seriously; i've spent the better part of this, my first year, learning the backwards hitch hiker, and i'm happy to say 'it's learned, next.' i realize spending a year on a trick is a gamble at any age, but it takes time to live your dreams, and learning that has set me up really well for all kinds of other things im working out.
there was a post, sorry i can't remember now who it was, but he'd learned bar spins. for a next move, back wheel tricks to work on:
peg manuals, each foot and both feet one handed peg manuals lawnmowers-if you have breaks
front wheel: fork glide b/w double foot steamroller and the big-daddy; forward steam roller
just some ideas from a another guy just starting out...

sorry to add second post but i forgot the obvious:
try standing on both back pegs, pull up and spin and catch bars in the air and immediately go to one foot so you are rolling forward in a dork manual. that'll set you up to ride into a stick b, time machine etc. peace.

I always called that a fork glide. I think the name has sort of changed to Backwards Steamroller..but I am not sure.

for your next asignment try to attempt single to double footed steamrollers and let go of the bar. nice looking trick on its own. it's the obvious ride in to hitch hiker and all kinna freaky innernational new school links. check out simon o'brien or any intrikat vid.

hey man, sounds like your riding is getting pretty hot! i'd love to see pics, not to put you on the spot, i just like pics! i'm trying to add a second (!) trick to my list- the forwards hitch hiker. it's a snap getting my hand on the tire, but i always seem to somehow be too far back and can't really roll them. 'nuff bout me! keep pulling that stuff!
