Default flattened tank

decided to flatten the tank last night. got a couple wrinkles in it though. So tomorrow I'm going to fix it with the body moulding tools and make it look better. Now just time to build the cage and the 12 bar. Will try to get pictures up tomorrow.

ya man.. you can flatten it with gas in it and still on the bike.. just be careful.. thats all.. and yup, sometimes it won't seal and you'll get gas-*** on highchairs and flammable ***** on sitdowns, or gas in your face when you rock the 12-bar for apehangers or whatever.. you gotta avoid a leaky seal at all cost.. leave the cap locked to make it sink and flatten as a whole.. this helps keep everything level and all. if you're gonna rock switchbacks where you spin on the tank, i don't recommend grip tape..lol you'll tear your pant eventually and it take way more effort to spin around.. just bowl the funk out of it- give yourself a stadium seat..lol that way its hard to slide of while rotating.. other than that, grip tape is baller for froggers and other tank tricks.
