Bout time... Tucking
Re: Bout time... Tucking
Quote "I tried both and had MUCH better luck leading with my foot. Im not putting both thru at the same time"
If that's what it is then keep doing it that way I don't think it'll look "choppy" matter of preference, BTW being taller (6 feet and up) is definately a disadvantage (but only in this case) and stretching is gonna help you alot by being fast with the tucking, Try this: bend over with your knees locked and try to touch your toes!!! if you can do it without bending your knees, also pull your leg (grabbing your foot) and try to touch you *** ( stretching the Quads)
if your heel touches your *** and the knee is still perpendicular to the floor u r good and also some hip stertches ....Doing power moves at the gym helps alot with speed (Dumbbells are my favorites)do this and you would be like those cirque du soleil dudes in no time heheh

i think it's easier to come out then go in...i pull both knees up and drag both feet to my left and slide off the tank into a ss..
i'd show you a clip but i haven't ridden since last summer so use your imagination.

Re: Bout time... Tucking
I've been working on 50/50 to HC with FF and I can't get my knee past my elbow, but I am going feet first, anyone have any suggestions.
I did try knee first on 2 wheels last night and got it through a couple of times, should I just do that instead?

I put a small rock in my ignition between the key and the plastic, so the key wont turn off. Get a cotter pin for the kill switch

Going to give that a shot tonight. I gave up with the foot first because of the knee / elbow problem. Hopefully it will work out.
Thanks for the help:YEAH

Re: Bout time... Tucking
I am 6'1'', long legs, and size 13 shoe. I stretch everyday. I relocated my ignition to underneath my rear seat. I run an f4i with no upper and stock clipons turned out. I learned this trick after watching someone in person that could do it. Their advice was just do it. Thats what makes it so hard, you just gotta do it. You need to sit really far back on your tank and gain a little speed, roll back on your tailbone really far (almost like you are gonna fall off) and just pull your knees in hard and put your feet thru. You can drop your front end a little to make it smoother but just bring it back up and slow it down. I'm not sure if it is just me but this trick didn't seem hard at all to learn. JUST DO IT, is all.
