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
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.
i agree with both of you. im putting a handbrake on my gixxer prior to learning all the slow stuff, why? because i'd rather not loop a spreader or highchair. highchairs are my favorite trick, barnone, if i had to look at highchairs like i see circles floating around then it would be all good in my book. anyway, they scare the **** outta me, but im still going to try them sooner or later. quit hating on the beginners who want to keep this sport going. everyone wants to see this sport continue and grow. i know the last 2 posts say so. so if handbrakes are the new gears who cares, its just another safety procaution that i believe in using to further my skills.
if people keep hating on others in this sport, what kind of image is that to put out there?
just my

im gonna hold out till they come stock on bikes , ya never know
i like to see stunts of all kinds, some **** i guess you could only do with a handbrake ,but to me it is boring to watch if all a stunter does is handbrake tricks , it all good







What the hell?
