Learn to wheelie 3rd gear. Accelerate in 3rd and fall back slow. I've been practicing coasters. It takes a lot to convince yourself to not hit that brake enough to bring you down but to hold you there. Kick *** feeling though when you're just cruising on the back wheel with no throttle heh

300' :YEAH thinkin about gettin an 88 kit so i can come in faster.
easiest way for big distance is i come in pinned and yank it up and slip it into neutral at balance point. if you get it right, you can coast at least 50' before you touch the brake

i will explain it better get a wheelie going in 3rd gear when you get your wheelie back far enough to do the coaster shift like you have a 4th gear and hold your shifter up and then you will get no throttle responce just work the back brake and you should be rocking them.

Re: coasters ( what am i doing wrong)

thanks guys for all the info their are getting better but not great ill just keep working on them, i was thinking about getting a hand clutch only 90 bucks, is it worth it? it just feels so wierd to pull up on the shifter and hold it there and work the brake, but ill get her with time, thanks again

About 125' flat, and about 50' NTH, and maybe 5' No-hand. How do those 's go 100 NO HAND?

Hey Adam, CruizinMax and I may be up in KC on Oct. 1, should we bring our Fiddy's and meet up?
