Re: Bout time... Tucking
D said it well, if you want to do both at the same time it's a speed thing. When I was full with clip-ons under the triple (954 front) on my F4i I had to slam my knees into my chest to get enough room to fit my shoes around the massive stock shield. Its like most tricks speed and force make everything easy.

Re: Bout time... Tucking
I don't know bout those american sizes and stuff, but i'm 1,90meters tall, and i can't tuck 
i even got dirtbike bars
I can't even come close... On the scooters it's possible for me to do both legs at the same time, so it's not that i'm not athletic or something... Just can't do it for some reason
I watched Scary gary, and ***** doing it millions of times, but that didn't seemed to help me... ****, i want to do it :YEAH

John, turn the bars, it gives you twice as much room where you need it

but what if ya had long legs and short arms!? would that get ya like super cool handicap points? or how about the other way long arms short legs.. i mean thats gotta make it way easier!?
what if your left leg was really long and the other really short.. would that make pipe side tucks cheating?

disturbed6R - yeah i beat my tank back another inch or so after i did it once and it was a bit easier. I like the tank back farther a little bit compared to how it was
Greg - I want to cut the key cause i run a side mount damper on the stunner (its a RR) so that there is no chance of kicking it off... that would be a bad day! Also, I run the 0 degree FI clip-ons and they are PIMP! you can turn them out a little and between that and the 0 degree it gives you a lot more room! I have a full upper and my screen is only cut down about 2 inches. I think i could still tuck with a full screen.
Thanks for the input and good responses guys!
come on though, i know there are a lot more of you out there tucking w/ clipons! post up!
