    Default One Wheel Wheelie !!!

    Hi

    A few days ago i was watching Extreme and Micheal Brooke was on it talking about something or other, (i cant remember was to busy watching the skating) and then was pulling all kinds of freestlye/flatland moves.

    Anyway, one was a big one wheel wheelied carve kinda thing which was sweet. So later on i was giving it a go on my shortboard (dont have a freestyle board) in a straight line, and i couldnt do it for the life of me.

    I didnt really catch it on TV cos it was only on for a bit. So can anyone give me a tip

    Do you need ded hard bushings or something im thinking this would help right

    Help me

    if your trucks are crazy loose it'll be harder. there kinda easy if ya got grippy wheels. the very very hard ones 100A as opposed to 92 or 95 slip out eiser.their kinda fun to

    Thanks,

    When i saw it on the TV the guys trucks where perfeclty straight, i dont quite understant how tho

    The tail and rails arent s'post to be touching the floor either right cos the dudes board on had those big plastic tail n nose protecter things on (just checking)

    I guess i should really know these things if i wanna learn

    nope just the wheel touches. kinda like a microedger on flat. some freesylers make their trucks non turnable. they put like ythe hardes bushings they can find and crank the kindpin down as far as possible. however if u have a normal new skool setup that should work fine.
