You're trippin. Robbo's manuals looked great, especially at high speed.

I think a lot of the awkwardness comes from people riding mega tall bars. Their body position is so upright that if you look at their body only and imagine there's no bike it's like they're riding around on a segway. It looks even worse if the bars are also super wide. I'd bet there wouldn't be much of this if people rode bikes proportional to their size.

On the other hand, some tricks are just naturally awkward looking like nose manuals and tailwhips.

wait, which robbo? fat robbo or skinny robbo?

far as I'm concerned, if you're not riding 4 pegs, front brakes and a gyro, YOU'RE CHEATING!!!

cheating yourself out of a whole lot of fun. :)

if you didn't ride in the 80's, you're opinion is not valid.

If you did ride in the 80's but quit, post pics of your wife tecnic1

I ran three pegs in the 80s. I like to say it was so I could feeble both ways, but the truth is it was so I could still give people rides.

I saw someone run that setup probably like a year ago.

I heard of some skatepark church with a foam pit in hours deep into the country. So my friends and I went to check it out. When we got there, their were these older cats. One was riding like Primo Stogie peg on a older yellow Standard, his buddy had a S&M Holmes. Both bikes completely retrofitted out, both in work boots, it was like a glimpse into the past.

I rode 1 front 2 rear for a long time in the 90's for crooked grinds, as there was no LHD to put the sprocket on the left side of BB
