An attachment you put on your crank to make crankrolls easier.

The Rollo disk makes crankrolls and similar tricks much easier on Moment
cranks by creating a wider platform to stand on while staying out of the
way of your ankles. A lot of you know about this component because
Spencer and some Team UTV riders have been testing the prototypes for a
while.

This simple disk bolts to the Kris Holm Moment ISIS cranks - you slip
the axle bolt onto the Rollo Disk and then tighten the axle bolt into
the crank. It turns the Moment cranks into superb flatland cranks by
enabling a huge increase in stability for crankrolls, without any need
to produce specialized flatland cranks.

U.S. have been testing it over the last few months with great success
and they have all noted a big increase in their consistency for tricks.

Flatland extensions, for the KH Moment cranks. They go on under the
crank bolt and extend the amount of room for you foot, making the cranks
much better for flat.

ok this is completely random, and i'm sure it has been posted somewhere
in the thread already but i don't feel like sifting through it.

i've been riding old school street for a while now(i can 3 spin, clear
an 8 set, 180 and 360 down 4 & 5 sets, etc.) but the more i watch new
school flatland street the more i like the way it looks. so my question,
what are some basic flatland tricks to start working on?

if your looking for rolls, I would start right away on inside rolls.
start them as a mount, it makes them so much easier.
if you want some static flat, just get your leg arounds and seat wraps
down.
I personally think that static flat is much more oldschooly, but it is
up to you.


as for me, I landed some siderolls today. they are extremely hard to
learn.

leg wraps , backrolls, hopping on wheel (90 unispins), and rolling
wraps are a few good tricks to start


it's great that the disks are finally out, I'll probably be getting a
pair of them with the 07 post I'll be buying

Wait, they'll put the 08' soon on the website! They just received the
container and are organizing everything and putting online!
