1st practice/learning & just trying to park it

Re: 1st practice/learning & just trying to park it
If only I COULD find a homeless guy to spot me!
The truth about that dude with me is he's my brother in law. used to ride (and wheelie too) but got into an accident on his bike 15 or so years ago, hit a deer. Head injury, coma for over 6 months and then had to relearn EVERYTHING! He can't ride anymore as his balance is fucked and things are way slower for him now. Guy can barely walk but every other summer gets a grapple load of logs (6 cords) and spends the summer cutting and chopping it all on his own. Hardest worker I know. He's kinda livin through my wheelies too! Loves hanging out with me there but not sure he could even help me if the bike was on top of me or anything. Actually this guy is like Mcgyver and could figure out a way to get me outta there.
Would prolly still go through my pockets 1st though.

Daum, I remember way back (6 years) seeing a fish eye lens vid with a guy doin' circles in a garage like that and thinking it was the sickest **** I ever saw! Props to you Son D!
Keep me posted on that OM vid man

I still think this was the best way for me to learn and get to 12. In 45 minutes and about 2 dozen tries (& 1st time I EVER tried to stunt) I parked a sit down and then it took about 15min, dozen tries to park a staggered. Not that I'm good, just an easy start for me. Looping just comes naturally to me. love my bar! Hahaha
Luckily I didn't have the same outcome as the Stunt Bum crash test dummies! They will get it

Re: 1st practice/learning & just trying to park it
BUDDY!!!! thats what i like to see mr.gorman...i sure do expect new footage from you killin it on that new gear kit....just remember when you do your idle mod to turn your stock idle all the way down and your new idle to about 3500...its gonna be real touchy at first but its like your scrapes...keep at it and you`ll get it...even if you have to do the *** drag at first you`ll get the hang of it trust me....when you do the *** drag lean back with the bike to where your completely OFF the throttle...your gonna want the idle to keep you up not you throttlin through it....whatever you do keep your foot on that footbrake....dont get scared of it coming back on you... you would rather want to mousetrap the bike than too jump off and let the bike ghost ride on its own
p.s. get yourself a GOOD pair of skate shoes
you can NEVER get worse ONLY BETTER!!
