well, i tried Mark's advice for my double-footed steams, but as soon as i let go of the bars it gets extremely wobbly. leaning more helped a lot.
not sure how retarded i am, but forward steam ride ins/ half lashes continue to baffle me.

Hey Havok
That double foot backwards steam is tough for me as well. But I can barly do a steam backwards anyhow. I can lift pretty easy into half hiker but staying in the double footed steam in a challange for sure for me. I went out to try the tips I gave you becuase thats how I do them fwd. I still find it easier for me to let my rear tire roll then lift up in a double footed steam. I can do that one pretty well. I need more work on backwards steams into double footed. That would be very cool to do and lift into backwards hitchhiker or halfhiker.
I have the footage for how to do a Steamroller I just need to put it together. I will eventually get to that one. I like how Ruben put it recently to me. He said the key to rolling a trick is to get into the position lean fwd and kick. Keeping your body basicly in the same spot and letting the frame swing around.
Keep on Riding!
Rad Dad!

I really rode a lot today and it feels great. I know I'm going to be sore but it was so worth it. Recently I've been mixing it up and noticing that the stuff I usually do is not nearly as comfortable as it was before. Like there used to be certain moves/links that were just automatic, and now they're not; I have to work for them. There is one move for example that I had almost absolutely dialed in, that I struggle with now. Newer things tho are starting to click a little, so I'm down with it. I seriously can't wait for this heat to fade tho.
