RE: Those Joel Weston Fakie Wheelie videos
Ok, I've heard from relatively credible sources that he can actually do a fakie wheelie. Nice. As can some other people too, in addition to ALL those girls auf dieser kunsträder. And then there's been some obvious fake videos from some biters etc. Whatever.
So, the conclusion? I don't know. Except that no matter what type of bike you ride, just watch more BMX videos, ok? Those guys got the tricks down, period. For proof, just check out the video above, especially at 2.35 point. Or the one below.

ReplyDeleteI had the chance to meet Bob Scerbo when he came into town to film my old roommate, Steven Hamilton. Both of them are insanely talented and if you liked the Scerbo video, I suggest you checkout Steven's part from the same Federal video here.
