we went out sunday afternoon and i was hell bent on 12ving my bike. After about 30 minutes i finally touched down and nailed it. Since then i've been doing them like crazy. These are so awsome to do. I can't ride them out though. I tried to drag far but i got squirly and had to set it down.

So, what's next? what do i do with the clutch, do i have to pull the clutch in to ride them out longer or what? also, how do i keep side to side balance better on those high slow wheelies.

here are 2 vids, more will be on our website.

Congrats

 

congrats, now ride out as far as you can 2-4 inches off the ground

 

thanks guys

how? that's what i'm asking now. give me tips on side to side balance and all. also, what about after i touch down, do i clutch or what?

 

learn brake control.....

 

can you give me some tips on body position and stuff to do that will help my brake control?

 

congrats pimp...keep it up !

 

Body Position: Relax and just let your arms out. Do not pretend that you are doing a pull up/chin up with you handle bars. Do not hunch over the gas tank as you want all your body want as far back as possible.

Technique- As soon as you get PAST the balance point pull the clutch in with your pointer finger and just LEAN back. If you feel you are about to lose control, keep the clutch pulled in as long as possible to keep the bike damage to a minimum.

Or you can be like the majority of us and learn the hard way .

 

wait wait wait... he's asking how to ride a slow 12... not a coaster.....

To ride it you just gotta stay steady on the gas and use the brake to control your wheelie. Lower the pressure in your tire a bit and just use your body to steer... lean fowards and backwards, side to side.. whatever it takes to correct for it. Just takes practice

 

everything that nags, kyle, brock, matt, chaunc, ect... have taught me was. clutch it up, lock the wrist and let your rear brake control the height....but then again i have no bike to practice this on.

Jimmy send yours down so i can practice....

 

This is what I was answering in my post......

So know your role and shut your hole you red headed midget homo .

 

Yup what he said...except I don't pull the clutch in...(Just can't get myself to do it yet).

But I also run my idle about 5 grand only because I just can't seem to lock my wrist.

 

Congrats on the 12.

 

Hey, remember back before you thought you were cool and jumped on the bandwagon and didnt make fun of me? Remember those days?

What was that.... like last week wasn't it??

 

I will still never be as cool as you, but this is getting a bit off topic. I will chat with you off line to get my cool/pimp 101 lessons from the icy hot stunter himself .

 

so i do or do'nt grab the clutch?

i'm gonna keep practicing. who all is going to chicago this weekend and could give me some pointers there and maybe see what i'm doing wrong to keep better balance.

thanks for all the support guys!

 

My advice was for parking or scraping tail.

Nags was right on the money with his advise for slow rolls.

 

sweet, i'll keep trying.

 

Congrats on the 12 bro.
