anyone think that somebody could do a KOD from a front fender grab instead of the bars? i dunno if its possible, but it would look pretty cool.

No the fend wouldn't hold the weight.

justin homan has grab holes cut in his front fender...

But yeah, its just too flimsy to pull off something like that..

has anyone seen Homan use those grab holes yet? I know he's had them cut there since at least last winter x, maybe even longer, but I have yet to see him use them or hear what he uses them for.....

yea that fender is for weight saving, and i think there is even some kind of mesh over the holes if you look closely

Sorry to break itto ya man, there isn't anything over homans fender holes.

Oh and about the flimsy fender with the KOD, I reckon a piece of metal on the inside would fix that. Cheap and not very noticable.

i am not to sure how much weight you could save by cutting out holes in plastis fenders ?

yeah, i guess the fender is kinda flimsy, but this could be where freestyle bikes start to change. they have added things to the back to hold onto, if they wanted you could do somethin to the front. jus an idea.

man, i jus remembered, i saw pastrana do a front fender grab superman b4. He had one hand on the bars, and on hand on the front fender, and his legs were out like a superman seat grab. it looked a little weird, but pretty cool.
