Don't do a full crank revolution. just do little cranks and backpedal. It should be Ok  if you have a freewheel ;D

I think ORB had a Rickman and cut them off no? I guess thats a bit like a bike circumcision

at the end of the day a skatepark is not like riding around on the street, you won't need to pedel much anyway. if i were you i'd just stick with it and adapt your foot position for when you do have to, like i do when i have the baby carrier on my big bike....

big grinder. you never have to think about the problem again. some came without standers anyway.

if your planning on riding it more than once, get them off. if your are just using it for tonight, leave them on.
 they are a lovely bike to ride tho, i have 800+ quids worth of new school, and i still prefer the rickman.

your call.

lop em off, and clean it all up at a later date

they gotta go though, unless you have little feet

i disagree, why cut a perfectly good bike up, if you want one without standers, buy one without!

lol dont cut the bike up
just the standers!!!

the reason for this is best reason of all - to make it better to ride
those rickman frames are great. a good size, nice and strong, good angles
just need to drop the rear standers and get some ad lugs welded on and it's the basis for dope rider

personally i'd also get some different forks on there, without the unnecessary 'factory rake'

check out phil's rickman tonight.  it's sorted out good.
