u just gotta say fuck it and go for it.

I can't do them, but I have helped build many scrape bars for people that can. If you are at the point where you can almost scrape, I'm positive that a scrape bar (that is built right) will keep your bike from looping. You can smack that thing harder than a boy scouts ass on a camping trip (J/K) and it will hold up just fine.

True Skuba Steve,
Look how dam long my bar is. Never looped it out on a 12. Cause its super renforced. I put it on the help me 12 the safer way. My goal as in any one tryin 12s is to get it up as high as i can with out scrapin. If i scrape im just thankful its there. But when i can finally do it the bar will be gone. I think is pimp when i see other riders almost 12n with no bar. If you really want to 12 safely and have the backup of a bar if you do get to high id do it.
just ride that brake.

YOUR SAFEST WAY TO LEARN IS SITTING WITHOUT A BAR, ONCE YOU KILL A FEW TAILS THEN TRY A BAR.SEE, THE TAIL GIVES AND FORGIVES. A BAR DOSENT. A BAR IS FOR BAR TRICKS NOT FOR TOUCHIN AND TAPPIN. IT COULD THROW YOU OFF QUICK. ONCE YOU LEARN THE TAIL REAL GOOD YOU WILL BE FINE W/ A BAR.

Quit being a puss. I have wrecked my bike trying to learn. If you are learning right, the bike will not loop back. I bailed on my bike and it went forward not backwards. You are going to wreck your shit, so forget about....

thats what i was thinking.maybe have a bar and have it long out,then as i feel comfortable with it move it i n closer and closer,do you think the bar has helped you get afeel of it cause yuou know its there?

Yea, I'm fine with the tail, but I'm scared to death of a bar. I guess I just gotta say fuck it and throw one on someday

Have you ever seen what happens to a F4i tail when it's hit? Tears to shreds all the way back to the passenger seat! No thanks, I think I'll learn with a bar for sure!

i have a bar on it now, its about 10 inches out, i hit it a couple times, but hard, i plan on doing the same as said before, get comfortable with it and then cut it down some. but by the time my shit is on the lite the trick will be played out(as if its not allready)

thanks for all the help guys

p.s. sliders wont help if you wreck a 12............
