FAKIES!!!
« on: September 01, 2008, 02:25 PM »
Since Maurice Meyer posted up that new pic of Mike D doing another fooking mahoooooosive fakie it got me comparing it with the one that most of us have already seen......very sad I know but hey!

So here's the two pics below.....which is the best? Has anyone done them higher? (if so, pics please) What was your highest fakie? etc. etc.

A proper fakie wasn't an easy trick to land and ride out of, anything beyond half a frame out and I was on my arse. I look at these pics of Dominguez and I just think WTF! How?

 :shocked: fkme that is high!

that's a bit fast to be coming in backwards.... but being MikeD, I bet it was perfect.

I prefer the first pic. Think it's only cos it was outside tho...

(I got the front wheel out the top a wee bit a week or two ago, and that was hairy enough!)

Both are great. Intersting to see two very different styles. One crunched up and one arms out stretched.

I go for picture one as it looks great but both are amazing.

Ok any excuse to bore you with pics. rode out of all these, with coaster... easier to roll back but you did have to catch it right or your head would be in the ground... ;D

fakie 1... summer 85'


fakie 2... 87' I think


fakie 3 ... 87' again


Holeshot fakie 1... cant remember which year... 86' I think


Holeshot fakie 2... No footer again about 4' out but the camera bloke must have took it just at the wrong moment... ;D ;D

Great pics there!!

love the no foot fakie on the Streetbeat!!  :daumenhoch:

I loved doing fakies... but was never that good at rolling out of them...

i see more and more riders doing fakies all the time.... So i've been learning them again!!



It's the turndown fakie i'd love to learn... so hard to do!!

Ouch... I remember that one.  I remember a big fat first aider running over to help him too.
DMC tried to get up after it but his legs gave way and he fell like tyson had jus hit him...
