Back in 1996-1997 I was learning flatland & there was this Asian kid from my home town who was like *REALLY* Incredible… and I had a black Dyno Air which was outfitted with red Primo V-Monster Tires, Dave Voeleker 4-Piece Handlebars, GT Overdrive Sprocket, red ODI grips, red Odyssey 99er seat, black/red brake levers that I think came from a buddy’s Royce Union Freestyle bike, and more… & the Asian kid had a Chrome _Fishbone Big Ass_ & I thought I needed to get a bike like his & he was like “Listen, it’s not about the bike, if you look at like Flatland contests or see guys doing flatland, they all have bikes like yours, your problem is right here [slaps my black GT 3-Spoke Mag Wheels] _(…Mag Wheels are Plastic, Bicycle Brakes work using the principles of Friction; as the brake pads touch the plastic surface, it wears increasingly more & more smooth decreasing friction making the brakes less & less effective…)_ so, my local bike shops all said “scuff up the surface of the mags which the brake pads touch with sandpaper & you should be good!!” So I figured “Fuck it, I’m going to order enough Skateboard Grip tape to grip up 10 Skateboard Decks, and I’ll cut up the grip tape with an X-Acto Knife, and stick it onto the sides of the mag” so, I bought 2 sheets of Grip Tape from a skate shop like 15 miles from my house, and I did it, after about a week the grip tape had sanded the brake pads enough so they weren’t rubbing all the time, but the grip tape had worn through…

I had this on VHS back in the day. Happy to see it on youtube.
