Re: sick of handbrakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm putting mine on next week when it shows up. there's lots of things you can't do slow without an HB, for instance are you going to scrape spreaders or highchairs with no HB? NO not with any control. plus you just can't go slow without something on the brake. People need to learn their high idle and learn the foot brake first and then put the HB on after they get the groundwork covered. it is funny to see a full new stuntbike with short can, HB, cage, sprocket and scrape bar and they can't even ride a fast wheelie more than 50 feet. I'm not knocking anybody trying to learn because we were all there at one point, just get the basics covered first.

Re: sick of handbrakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

speaking of handbrakes....... im getting rid of mine because its cheating ,im just going to get a 4 down 32 up sprockets set up..............................and i dont think its fair to have a hb...... there should be two seperate events in comps one with and one without.....also im getting rid of my front brakes to because i seen kids back in the day rolling stoppies with there foot in the front wheel.................and im not having a dent dank becuse it makes it easier to do tank danglers.....and those are kewl..........and last but not least to make me the best stunter in the world ..........i will always keep my idle at 6000 because thats not cheating.........

Re: sick of handbrakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shouldn't have got one so soon because I don't use it much, I'm still learning some of the basics. I really only use it when i want to do seat standers and spreaders.

what do you people think about HB?
Are you using the foot brake yet or? A good method ,is to practice clutch up sitdowns straight back past BP to the brake . Just keep clutching up over and over , and catching it with RB ya know? Then just start catching the bike with the HB ,I use my index finger on the moose EZ-pull ,and ussually have my middle and ring finger on the HB . After a while you should be able to slip the clutch and brake all with only your left hand. before you know it you will be doing sitdown circles with both feet dangling ,and NTH. Try it out man ,theres no reason to hate on the H b . IMO its a neccesary instrument/ on your stunt bike.
