For starters: For riding skinnies, it's best to have weight forward and low. Correct? _________________

another tip is to have a front brake that works/exists
brakes are improtant in any disapline but if riding NS then both need to be present _________________ |

Continuing with the brakes theme, i reckon it's best not to be rash with the brakes, feathering them (or slightly harder) gives better control. Or that's what works for me anyway... _________________
