Coloured bicyle cards
Posted: Aug 14th, '07, 00:17
The other day at Walmart I was going to buy some cards when I saw Bicyle cards with coloured faces, white numbers and symbols, and a back similar to normal bikes except that instead of blue or red they were the same color as the face. They came an assortment of colours; green, blue, pink, purple and yellow. I bought the greens. (See picture)
Cost- $3.25 Cnd.
Review- these cards handle the exact same as normal bikes do. They also look really cool. The down side to them is that the colored face will set of an alarm anytime you mishandle(on normal bikes the white face blends in with the white borders). Any tricks where you hide a face up card with a facedown card requires perfect handling. This makes these cards dangerous to perform with. They are useful for practice however, you can really work on fine tuning basic handlings like double lifts and the emsley count.
Conclusion- If you're looking for cards to perform with, I don't recommend these, just go with the normal bikes. (people are always suspicious of strange cards anyways). If you're looking for some cool looking cards for yourself then these are pretty sweet, and there only 3 bucks.
