Riding the 8 foot and 8 foot zigzag for the first time! fun...fun...fun

WHOOOOOOooooo!! today i rode the 8 foot and the 8 foot zigzag for the
first time

it was so much fun.....it was hard to get up and it was scary cause i
had to hold on to somthing dusty so it was slippery...lol....so when i
got up...someone held up a pole and offered it to me(this was one the 8
foot)and i said no i got it and rode off....

then i got up on the 8 foot zigzag....wow....i got up and it wasnt as
bad as getting up on the regular 8 foot.....then i rode off on that one
too!!

I am such a natural at heights.........

I had so much fun today and i engourage other people to try these cool
thingy-ma-bobs

WHOOOOOOO!

Sounds like Peter Rosendahl's "sideways giraffe." That's what I call
it, not sure what he calls it. Never seen it in person, but it would be
cool, especially in a spin!

Please post pictures of your zig-zag. Where are you?

I believe I've seen that, or at least something just like that. I saw
it on someone's website, don't remember who's. Must be a massive pain
to make them.

The crab cycle doesn't have any zig-zag. It's just a gearbox on an
otherwise fairly ordinary giraffe. Peter Rosendahl's frame goes down a
little below the pedals, makes a hard right turn for a couple of feet,
then a hard left again taking it down to the wheel. "Normal" zig-zag
giraffes are bent to the front & rear, like that piece of ASCII art
above.

I taught him the kick-up mount.

could be wrong

I now know why Tomsey is so good at backs. And why Shaun owns at normal
flips.
It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards. KH.
