    That foot jam tail whip was bad ass!! That's the old school I learned in Freestylin Trick tips!

      They say to never meet your heroes because they will disappoint. This couldn’t be further from the truth with Eddie. He’s so friendly, engaging, and humble. Class act for sure. And so fun watching him ride in person 🙌

    Eddie is the ultimate showman! So cool that you got him to sign your GT! Thanks for sharing this with us!

      The ultimate showman indeed. I still have my Cruising in the 808 sticker right on the other side of where he signed it. In hindsight, I should have showed that on the camera too. 😎

    Great edit as always was cool to be right there when Eddie checked out ur bike. Eddie's skill and style on a 20" blows my mind. Also great work on your 20" I'm jealous I've never pulled off any flatland or bar spins hope to see more progress!

    Eddie should've signed the World Tour in white🤣

    Full pull on the gyro and no gyro flop when you spin the bars. That's how I set up my gyros. Set up bottom cables first and have that gyro rest on the tabs, then do the top cable. If you do dual cables top and bottom adjustment is way easier.

    • @josephdelasierra4890
      @josephdelasierra4890 Před měsícem +1

      To get more slack on the top cable you would have to bring the gyro plate down with smaller head set spacers. I see you have a big one.

    • @TheNostalgicNeighborhood
      @TheNostalgicNeighborhood  Před měsícem +1

      I hear you, and that makes sense. 💯 The thing is, there is plenty of pull distance on the brakes, so from a practical perspective, it’s totally fine as-is. But to get the tabs to touch, removing some of the spacer distance (and probably cutting some of the steer tube as the spacers took the full space) makes sense. Luckily, my 20” S&M was able to be adjusted perfectly without issues, and that’s the one I’d really want to be 100% perfect. So I’m good. Thanks form chiming in. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts 🙏🙌

      @TheNostalgicNeighborhood I was gonna to say that it can open up a can of worms just to move it 3/16 or less to get it perfect, when it was just fine leave it how it is now so you can enjoy more riding! Thank you for responding! Stay RAD!

    I always wanted a flatland bike, I have a race bike but I want to get a freestyle bike too at some point.

    • @TheNostalgicNeighborhood
      @TheNostalgicNeighborhood  Před měsícem

      Awesome. I’m having fun on mine too. I’ve had it for a couple years but just recently starting to put the time and effort into it. 👍
