hella new school geo makes our tricks look dumb.

Fuck that, I'm vegetarian and I'm not eating no damn fish sticks.

I do agree that peope ride too wide bars. But if you watch old videos the small bars look retarded too. Look at old Josh herrington vids. Its kinda up to proportion I guess.

And I know the number of pegs is sans.terres signature topic, but come on.

I remember when the Odyssey Lumberjacks came out. 8.25 was huge

The thing with bars is that wide, tall bars just feel better.  I cut some Benny bars too narrow awhile back, and they were worthless. I just put them on my kids bike.

Don't get me wrong, I like my bike to be aesthetically pleasing, I want to ride my bike more when it looks good, but I'm a function first dude, generally speaking.

[sans.terre]

its not soley the size of the bars, or headtube angle, or number of pegs...

you've got to get it

if you like eating fishsticks...
and you like putting fishdicks in your mouth....

you're a gay fish!!!!!

I see your point but must disagree. If the geometry of the bike is the result of an conscious decision of the rider to give his or hers bike the feel that he desires, then fine by me. I feel that the often considered akwardness of four pegged riders tables is due to how these riders' style tend to be like. I feel like these riders have a type of "stiffness" when it comes to riding, as in that they can send a wild street combo with ease, but when trying to turndown or table it just comes out akward.

When it comes down to aestethics of the bike and riding I must say that the by far worst thing is riders who embrace the MTB scene more than BMX. Nothing makes me cringe more than a MTB style rider setting up a BMX and riding it like an MTB.

clearly, no one in the UK likes fish dicks

[sans.terre]

uk riders always seem pretty solid from what we tend to see out hurr'

maybe its just what i see documented or maybe its the sky high prices for parts that keeps all the homies in check.
jfax has a point tho. i see what hes saying. gay fish is a gay fish no matter what the fishbowl. i see what you sayin' pimp.
you done changed the game.

DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT HOW BAD YOUR TRICKS LOOK WITH HELLA NEW SCHOOL GEO!

[locomotive]

are low manuals still cool? The best feeling is when you are going down a hill and pull up so slightly as your front tire levitates an inch of the ground and you're holding on to the bars with just your finger tips.

At any rate Garret is very stylish with newschool geo, plus he can do all the niblygiblys. Also check out Devon Smillie, Simone Barraco and Kris Kyle. Although bikes are becoming more optimized for small street shit, it doesn't stop the people that want to have a little style achieve that. I see what you are saying with manual/ nose manual, although being harder, it is still possible to lock them in and make it look smooth. Some times a little bit of correctional struggle(not chad kerly/churchill style) could actually make the trick look better.

Classic geo still exists. I guess get it if you think you will become more stylish.
