wassup? im new to stuntlife, but i know how to 12. It's scary as hell at first but you just gotta do it. Don't worry about that bike, it can always be fixed. I finally figured out that 12's are just a mental game like everything else. I mean think about it, when you first started stuntin' it was **** thats crazy but once you do it you just keep on and on you get better and more comfortable. I dont use a bar and the first time i scraped i jumped off, after that it was all metal to get past thinking the bike is going to hit you-its all good- mad props to no bar-

i'm tryin em standin up and riding tha brake until i'm pretty strait up then just bringin down. I have to shorten the pipe but after that i'm trying with no bar. i figure when you hit the bar its gonna slam and throw you off, but if its plastic thats scrapin you got some give and more time to hit the brake and control it.:

Plastic is expensive. Try a 12 o'clock bar, drill two holes, one in each corner, and bolt on another bar onto it. Use long bolts and insert scrap valve springs between the 2 metal plates, so they will work like shocks. That will ease the initial impact and save your plastic.

first of all just grab your ***** cover the brake and dump the clutch...
even if you go to far and get wobbles or catch your first little coaster and are wondering what the bike is doing you have to remember at 12 your so close to the ground just step off the bike from your sitting possition and unless you get excited and death grip the throttle you should be able to save most crashes and you will crash.. im not a big guy about 5ft11 and i have no problem stretching to hold onto the bike if i have to bail
