Hi Nico, wah... dun think it is nice... more like clumsy... LOL. I don't think you can call it a "manual". It is more like pedal work and timing. You can see the video of the Pedal up as shown to me by Wong Xu as slowly as he could possibly manage for me to observe and learn. If you are left footed, then you might want to change it to adjust it to suit. Have fun... wear padding and dun forget the ultra important helmet... LOL.

Hi Matt, thanks!!! Will try out tomorrow :-) As for the brakes... rim is grinded with some tar applied. BUT... the sides of the brake pad are not contacting fully to the rim at the SAME time!!! I did not realised that that made a difference... LOL. I will try adjusting tomorrow... Hahah. Thanks again! See you in Singapore Oct 4th :-)

u perfected it ! ! ! Try to put/stretch your head forward after u launch for the rear, will help falling backwards . i think something needs to be done to your rear brake. there r few things to look out for stronger brake power- is it rim grinded ? did u apply anything to the rim ( Tar / violin rosin ) ? , both left/right sides of brake pad contacting fully to the rim at the same time?
