The Hoffman Love Handles are great flatland handlebars they have a low cross bar and are very strong with 1" tubing. The ones shown in the picture are the new 2001's from Hoffman. They are excellent bars for any begginer that really wants to get into more anvanced tricks, such as Funky Chickens, Wheel Chairs, and many other tricks. The low cross bar helps provide that little extra edge to get that trick down. Day Smith rides with these bars so you know they are great and at $60.00 to $70.00 dollars U.S they couldnt be better.
