FAKIES!!!

[evamedia]

Dan Price always used to do 180's in the 90's

[yoda]

Love fakies, used to throw a few down in me day like...see my avatar. I'll see if I can find any better pics when Im at home. Mike D was the boy though when it came to fakies! The pics say it all 

[SaMAlex]

Mike D was still doing great ones in the early 90s.

(sorry its a tiny picture)

can anyone remember the fakie Scott Carrol did at one of the national's at Alfreton prob about 87 88

that was epic..

I can remember Him blasting a few big fakies at the Alfreton comps, along with someone on a streetbeat wrecking on a huge nothing fakie in practice, gnarly!

[nee]

I have to confess to still finding rolling back far stood up difficult. It's much easier sat down old school style but stood up thrashes me to fook, I can do it but not far!! 

Daz.

I must admit i've never even considered roll backs standing up. They look really ugly and cack-handed to me! But then again, i've always riden with my seat at a decent height, so im able to sit down ok and do them.
Totally different debate, but i've never understood the newer 'style' of having zero seatpost either...looks really gaelic to me. And footjam nosepicks...ugly as sin to look at.....just get a front brake and make nosepicks look less cumbersome!!!!

Oh...rad pics of fakies by the way!  The top one out of the 2 pics on the original post is my fave

No, I knew Brian bitd, I can't remember who it was, and I think the streatbeat was just white, but I seem to remember they didn't ride comps that often?

Speaking of Brian and nothings I remember him pulling his first nothing air at the worlds in Paris 88? 

[rosscoe]

terry jenkins was a master at  fakies real early on, goofy one footed tables spring top mind

then there was the lad from Cov / Nuneaton way that regularly blasted mahoooosive fakies to death at most BFA comps - forget his name which is bad as rode with him for a year or so

Is there a new fangled freewheel that let you go backward without the pedals moving....?
Like a coaster without the brake

Well, it's not new, I had one in the mid 80's , they're called freecoasters

Yeah it's a free coaster... but they're not that new really, but they've become popular recently. I think Bill Stupps runs one...I could be wrong though.

[sean]

No its not a freecoaster,I had one of those back in the 80's. they were a freewheeland a coaster brake. the new ones are just freewheel.... I think

* Freecoasters

Freecoasters allow rolling backwards without pedaling backwards as one would need to do with a cassette or freewheel hub. The design of the freecoaster is based on coaster brake hubs with the brake pads removed allowing for backpedaling. Some companies also manufacture specific freecoaster hubs. Such hubs are very popular with street riders.

I have got a freecoaster, and yes they are like a coaster without the brake.

Are you thinking of the ACS freecoaster Sean, they were a freewheel that fitted on to a coaster brake and could be switched on and off by the flick of a lever on the freewheel ?

[sean]

Yes billy, I had an ACS freecoaster, you had to undo two screws to disengage the freewheel. I take it this odysey jobie does a similar thing.

just clicked thelink.....  £139........ fook me. 
I remember when odysey first started, their gear was as cheap as chips and a Haro bike would set you back some serious $$$
Now you can buy a haro bike for the same amount as an odysey hub....
fooked up world

They're called freecoasters still, but I agree, they don't do quite what they once did
