Im up to about 250 right now, I need a longer spot to really kick it.
Sweet Video though - what gear you commin' in at?
***jaxon23 question on those coasters.....are you constantly on your rear brake? and if so does it fade out real bad? ****
Nope, cause in a good coaster ur really not even on the brake. THere is a sweet spot that the bike just hangs. You ride a coaster to high, and ur gonna burn all ur speed off w/ the brake.

****, i commented but i guess i never watched it. that is a long coaster. have you measured it?
i'm scared to do fast coasters.....seems like i'll lose control when i grab the clutch. i'm also worried when i grab the clutch i wo'nt have enough brake pressure and the bar will slam down causing a bad accident. any advice on how to start doing them? like, what things to start working on to build up to that.

just start working on them slow... just do a regular 12 and pull in the clutch and coast to a stop. Once you start getting them you can start addin speed.
they're fun
