yea yea. Been stuntin for this year only. I got back brake down last weekend, tried my first SS and flamingos sunday and started to scrape too. Now i got the scrapes on tape nukka. Holler.

 

That was tight, good work. I liked the endin

 

aww man that last one was great! ahha

 

glad u're wearin that spine protector man.. glad u're learnin.. but u gotta be smoother... that was bound to happen, just be glad u were goin slow... be smoother and make sure to be straight when u're hittin that bar... now learn idle and stop choppin! u'll get it in no time.. keep postin vids

 

Yeah man good job..keep it up and be safe..

 

it seems like there isnt much weight on that bar. it feels unstable. the bar looks like its only scraping on about a half inch of the plate. i have it angled back so the bar should hit the top and the sub frame flex would make it even but its not. I dont think nothing happend on the bail i think ifreaked cause i was tryin to keep it on there tillit came to a stop. I think i should of just got on the brake or sumthin. Should i shorten the bar or does it look right? i know i chop but am i really THAT choppy? to where it borderline unsafe? I thought i was doin damn good for a week (2 sessions) being able to use brake... i am i trying **** too fast.

Also, i need to be clutching it up way harder to ride idle but the metzler mez2 slips all the time. I ran a michelin and it hooked good, een better than the metzler when there were threads showin on the michelin. when i sped up i was really trying to speed up si i could try and slow it down. Ill get vids tomorrow too. I make clear when im trying to be smooth and when im tryin to do somethign else.

Thankx for the replies guys.

PS, i didnt know crtch could be so .... nice ... wierd

 

Ha ha ha. Funny part is I changed it before I posted to be nicer. Put your pressure at 18psi and out of habit I bounce my legs a little. But any tire will hook up. You might be clutching too much causing it to spin. Maybe I will be harsh on the next vid

 

hey cmon, i can get used to a crtch thats not hatin on me anymore! remember last year when i was asking how long of a bar to build? you flamed me pretty hard. it was funny tho. youre serisouly a funny mutherfvcker.

 

Looks like your almost ready for some coasters.......

 

if the vid camera is out there today ill give it a shot at a few... :YEAH so much fun learning this stuff.

 

i make fun of so many ppl i can't remember who i have and haven't talked **** to... oh well.. i'm sure it was justified considering it's now a year later and you can use the bar... wouldn't been dumb to have a bar on for a year and never use it huh?

i'd wait on coasters.... a while.. gotta be pretty coordinated with the clutch and sensitive with the brake.. i've seen some nasty wrecks on ppl tryin them too soon.. i waited a while before doing them... i crashed one and broke my hand last month..well i was just about to grab the clutch and a wire pulled out of my harness and the bike shut off and i went WEEEEEEEEE!! as i flew over the front

 

mousetrap = no fun...

the thread that you so thoroughly reamed me on was in january,i didnt know what i was doing. I ended up taking the bar off when i realized i was a ghey for not able to use it. i have nothing to hide, the more people lie about there ability on these boards the less theyll be able to learn. I learned the brake and "scraped", more like bashed the hell outta the tail when i was learning where the limits where. I put a new, shorter bar on last friday so it hasnt been a week without a bar. I just collect as much info on here as possible and then use it. Stuntlife.com has solely got me this far in the past month. Only ONE month ago i couldnt even use brake or ride a wheelie in 1st gear because i would chop so hard. theres no one here to teach me so its trial and error and you guys, stuntlife.com. Mark my words, i will be around for awhile... I have the determination to nail this ****. I try until something breaks, either my bike or me. But at the same time im not being too overzealous and tryin things that are way out of reach.

PS. ill take your advice on the coasters... i think ill get a handbrake and start messing with SS and flamingos the proper way.

 

if you want to take my advice, then lsiten to all of it...
do not get a hb yet.. learn PLENTY of more tricks first.. i don't have a hb yet
learn idle, nth, sit down idle, foot on seat, sit down no handers, stand up no handers, steering, coasters, and then get a hb...might want to add throttle control to that list,.... hb's aren't like foot brakes, they are meant to be tapped when engine brake won't pull u back... step by step my lil *****

 

sounds good to me. Word on the throttle control, i am horrible with that. Sit down no handers are like my favorite trick. I like them more than circs. Man i need to ride with some other people. ARGH!

 

u r killin it your progress is where I need to be but I keep breakin down any time I have to practice my bike is broke or its raining

 

then stare at my avatar for motivation! i'm not that great at them, i went n rode lastnite, i ****in ****.. riding like ****... but this weekend i gotta get the stand up no handers on lock... if i'm standing and my hands leave the bars, every bit of coordination is removed from my body.. it's horrible

 

VIDS!!!

 

we never tape.. or even take pics.. far too lazy.. i'll try n get some this weekend.. well pics,, id on't know how to make vids on the comp... but you WILL see pics of stand up no handers

 

Im trying to learn the rear break on 2nd gear stand ups. Just too scary in 1st. I'll clutch it up in 2nd gear and then usually freak when I hit that weightlesness feeling. Any advise? Im on a 600rr with almost stock gears, -1 and +2. I just cant seem to stay in that damn bp. Or I'll get to it, then let off just a bit and I'll come right back out and then its hard to keep it going.

 

Your chopping, use first gear and once you learn first gear all the others are more forgiving with the throttle control. 2nd gear for is like 3rd for me, that ***** way too fast imo. I like doin slow ****. I learned by just going for it and practicing. I was at the spot for 5 hours 2 days in a row and didnt seem to be progressing at all then all of a sudden i did something right, it felt good and i noted what i did. I locked the throttle and used all of the rear brake i could to keep it from looping. you will loop learning to do first gear, its just a matter of how bad you wanna do this ****. Of course when i first started doing that it was real sketchy. That vid was only my 2nd day of using rear brake the right way. After that scrapes were real easy. Its not like im going fast so they're no tthat dope yet, also i could be WAY more smooth.
