Stuntin' in the rain...

So on Sunday me and Squidmark were up at the usual spot for the first time in like a month together (busy lives sometimes) were doin the usual wheelies we can do for awhile then both moved into attempting to learn circle burnouts. Both made awesome progress, him sitting in HC position and I just on the pegs. Then it starts to Down pour on us.... That was the greatest time ive ever had in that lot doin circle burnouts in the rain... layin the bike down not givin a **** (untill i broke my 2nd brake lever learnin these damn things lol)

But who else has been stuntin in the rain... sure it makes traction difficult at times but god damn is it fun!!

Re: Stuntin' in the rain...

One time in the pouring *** rain I rode some basic standup wheelies down a dirt road. Seat standers work too, but I did them on a paved road in the rain.

For all those that dont believe me... I dont clutch it up on dirt roads. Im +8 in the rear gearing, and I bog the bike down in 2nd or 3rd gear and bounce it up. It works. Try it if you dont believe me.

Re: Stuntin' in the rain...

that **** was fun. I made pretty good progess, i came into the lot never being able to turn a highchair circle burnout 1/4 turn. And left cranking out 3-4 pretty consistantly. I think i dropped my bike atleast 10-15 times. :YEAH lol, the **** was funny, i would just stall all the time, or just kinda get off balance so instead of saving it i would just jump off. The 905 cage thrashed that lot surface though.

novaman, for the time being, my bike is back to streetfighter Straightened the subframe, and took the bar off
Time to crash some stoppies.

Yeah thats the same way it was here, it was probably 90* + outside and we were geared up with helmets and such the rain felt so damn nice.

I sware to god Squid you take apart that bike to streetfighter more then its got its plastics on hahah. Circle burnouts rock... we gotta do that **** some more i had a blast tryin to learn these.
