COASTERS------- How To??????

Ok I've tried the coaster stuff riding a wheelie pull up on the shift and the front end just drops.

Can someone give some USEFULL info on how to do a caoster. I gotta get this down I tried for about an hour last week and nothing.

Anyone???

the way i learned was do a wheelie in 2nd find the balance popint where you dont need to give it gas. i practiced while in gear and just letting off the gas. its easier than in nuetral. my buddy learned em that way. now i can roll them for bout 100-200 feet.

is it stock, it is harder stock, wheelie in third, let off the brake until it goes back past the balance point, lift up the shift lever and use the brake.

I must not be getting it back far enough. I can ride a 3rd gear wheelie for ever at balance point.

So I guess the key is to get it past that point so you use the break to keep it there and coast???

Thanks for the tips.

My boy has a nice piece of hardware on his left leg from a tail scrape gone bad.

Don't know if I'll be attempting that any time soon without a 12 bar.

Thanks for the tips.

kb you bitch,

get a lil speed, second gear will work...tip it PAST the balance point and use your brake like the gas in a regular wheelie...the only difference is when you 'flip' the coast (read: too much brake) you simply land on two wheels...if you go too far back, you will slow down. the key is to keep the bike as close to the reverse bp as possible...make sense?

get your ice tires readysucka!
