we had the bowlegged vs straight legged fight already, lets not start it again. (even though bowed = better :))
oh you just wait ill get david to take a pic of a bowlegged turndown on my bike hahah. REAL turndowns look better than bow leggeds. seriously im not trying to diss anyone riding but the only reason people do bow legged shit is cause they cant handle cleaning their shit up. for real.

actually any trick bowlegged looks shit.

levon yeah i kinda sgree but not really. straight legged turndowns are just more refined and not so stiff looking.

and just danker in general i personally thing it fucks up the look of a the trick when i see it... and staight legged is way harder than bowlegged because your leg is in the way of you click, when you do bowlegged your leg is out of the way so you can like slam it against your leg,,,

well i can do both, but bowlegged (to me) look and feel a lot better than straight, and how can they look stiff? your legs are straight in one id think that would be the stiffer looking one

I think straight legged looks more in line, everything flows together, and with bowlegged your leg is sticking out there messing everything up. I've tried both aswell, and I like straight legged more. And it's how bmx'ers do it, and they can't be wrong.

On the other hand, if people start saying bowlegged tables are cool, I'll kill myself.

instead of tucking both legs you spread them so the inside knee points up..not so common on scooters, but i see bikers do them when they first learn tables, its ugly as all hell

ANY trick bowlegges is ugly.

xups, tables, turndowns, kickouts doesnt matter. when its bowlegged it looks shitty. even just a tuck looks bad when its bowlegged. And the reason straight leggeds arent sriff is because you have to stay loose to do it that way. just cause your legs are straight doesnt mean they are stiff. i cant even do a decent turndown on a scooter anyways im sketchy.

i say to do a turn down in my opinion u push the scooter out with ur legs and bring the bars toward urlegs and tweak as much as u can. i personally do not care whether it's bowllegged or straight as long as its tweake.mine i would say are a combonation of both like my knees sometimes are straight but then sometimes theyre a little bent idk
