Hell ya pimp...do the damn thang

 

Thats the best stated HB comment there is

 

Racers use slicks, slipper clutches, and tune their motors hardcore...is that cheating? No its just the best riders using the best equipment. If you rock nasty wheelies, you can do it with, or without a handbrake, so why not use a tool like a handbrake to add some flavor into the mix?

 

Thanks for all of your opinions. I am going to fabricate my own handbrake cause I have most of the basics down. If any of you ever make it around Champaign Illinois (where the University of Illinois is) give me a holler and we tear it up!!!!!

 

I don't see how it could be cheating when there aren't any rules. If it makes you a better rider, then do it. If you are still doing power wheelies and you put a ahdnbrake on your bike... well, who cares. You just wasted time, money, and energy for something you're not going to use. But maybe someday when you do need it... then it will be there. I won't have one, cause I don't need one... yet. But when the day comes that I think it will help me progress, I will have one.

 

yah thats me..and I AM NOT SCRAPING HIGHCHAIRS not yet anyways. i can scrape seat stander w/o a handbrake. one of em went wrong though and i broke my foot. o well i missed december riding o and its not the spelling it the typing. i wanna be scraping highchair by july 4th cuz thats when the sumer nationals are in mass.

 

i wanna mount a hb just so i can rock my whuulies floating the bar like 6 inches from the ground. cuz u either need like 20+ to do that , a hb, or a long strip of rode. im only +12 cuz i still gotta be streetable.

 

Stuntin' a stock bike is loads of fun. You get on this nice clean motorcycle, and do yar thang. Keep it nice, cause two weeks later it'll end up lookin' like a stuntbike if any.

 

no offense taken. i just want to ride and have fun man, thats all. having a handbrake would make me try more things and that would be having fun. i appreciate your 2 cents though.

 

its so funny that people can come on a forum and talk **** to other people, but cant do it in there face. you know where i live you know where i work. and yet nothing to say to me. and i dont care who wants to or dont want to ride with me. and what do you mean by real? im the one thats out riding back and forth practiceing. if you could teach me how to be real, that would be cool, cause i guess i know nothing about real. just hide behind your keyboard, your safe there.

 

what is your ****ing point!!! should evrybody crash and fall through their first video and then tell u how "gangsta" they r???u r the reason this game sux. punks from IOWA talking **** and hatin on EVERYTHING just ride seriously though everytime u say gangsta i laugh so hard ****ing iowa

 

IM SO GANGSTA, I have a handbrake, and Im from IOWA, IM SO GANGSTA

 

I'm confused on this one too cbo. U said "u haven't seen him do much longer than a half a block, and thats your point. This is where the sport is heading?"

What do you mean? Your point is that the sport is heading towards half block wheelies and that is why your against handbrakes? Just trying to figure out what you ment in that post?

First off, nice to see i'm not the only person up at 4:30am on a wed night!

I think people are just anxious to learn new tricks. They want to learn as fast as they can with the least amount of effort and wear and tear on their bodies and bikes. I don't blame anyone for that. I agree that it takes alot more skill to rock as spreader for 6miles with no hb than having a hand brake. And when I see, you for instance, rockin stuff in street session and you don't have a hand brake i do say to myself "man thats pimp." But I also see merk doing mad combos in siu3 with a hand brake and thats pimp too. I just think that people should ride how they want. As long as there out there doing it its cool. If you wanna be a pimp rock the stuff with no handbrake, i'll give you extra props for that, but wether people use a handbrake or not i'm just glad to see people out riding. I also think that just cause you put a handbrake on when you have "some" rear control doesn't mean you are a squid or anything else. I don't care what order you learn rear brake in but if you want to have everything on lock sooner or later your gonna have to learn it, so who cares if you have a handbrake first or not.

Thats my thoughts anyways... but who the fu-ck am i? Jon

It is not called cheat it's call new technology. Some people are still in the past Thats why they still get up off there *** to change the t.v channel, Sill put on a pot to hot water, still brush there teet with chew stick etc. You will always be behind

 

hmmmm which crash....the one thats in street sessions? What the **** good would a hand brake have been when he wrecked doing a stoppie?

 

Yes, exactly.

Pay your dues

 

all of this is very true. its all about preference, i cant do highchairs or spreader yet and my throtle control isnt all that great but i have alot or rear break control, and can do some slow idle stuff. i dont know if i will ever be ready to do a highchair, that trick scares me. but does that mean i cant try a no throtle handed seatstander? i give props to all the guys that can do it with or without the handbrakes. but you got to give props to the guys that are just trying.
