how many of you ride spreaders with no rear handbreak? Im going to dent my tank soon and try a spreader.

insanestunter39

I do. At first it's a little crazy, but you get used to it.:YEAH

chirpin4th

why don't you just get a handbrake?

chirpin4th

Most people I see do spreaders w/o a handbrake look like this

Spyder02r1

chirpin4th

lky

coming down from a stoppie, and snap the photo at the rigth time

ooohhhh and yeah use ya h/b its just more fun

f4ibry

look up wheeliest....killen spreaders on his 636 no hb...

back before i got hb me n the boys would mobb 2nd gear spreaders down the road for days....throttle control and engine brake!

I do them all the time with no handbrake....It's fine...

front tire is not as high as I would like...but it still looks ok.

chirpin4th

brings up a good point.. What kinda gearing are you running on your 636. It looked like wheeliest is running around a 55t.

I'm sure there are hundreds of riders that can kill spreaders w/o a handbrake.. But it takes a world wide forum on the internet to know that. I am still very new to the stunt scene.

1st day trying spreaders. w/handbrake.

chirpin4th

oh.. and wheeliest still look better. haha.

Wetley

B-NETT

i just started to do them with out a handbrake you just ant going to be as high as some of these guy with handbrakes but its still fun.

u dotn need a hb, jsut be smooth, they will start as power wheelies, just work ur way back slowly take bab steps....if u can do a good spreader and get ur throttle control down pat without a hb ur guna thank ur self when u do get one

NO HB almsot stock geared

i think this way like a week before i got my **** on


hb on but not covering it cus i didnt know how


my buddy no hb at all


nick no hb

Towlieee

Personally i'd say learn them with no hand brake

learn them tell you can do them at balance point on flat ground forever..

Then get a hand brake, and slow em down and get sick with it :YEAH

chirpin4th

Why do you guys suggest learning w/out a HB? Just for throttle control?

Towlieee

I think it would be harder to have good throttle control if you learn it with the brake
I learned mine without the brake, it took me a while to get them good, but now I can go miles without a hand brake on spreaders/hc's

But now I have a hand brake, and thats definitely the only way to go for slow ****..
But I still rock my highway combo's without using the hand brake.. I don't need it at 40mph+ with stock gearing

but what do I know, I still suck on my f4i....

Z-UNIT

pretty much it helps, plus then if u get on bike w/o one or your breaks at a show or sumthing u can still ride.....i cant even count the amount of people out there who wont do anything off the pegs unless they have a sick working hb......also people who learn with a hb tend to try to use it like the reg brake when learning and do there **** all slow, and choppy........and when u go that slow on spreaders its hard to get good extension on ur legs and it looks like garbage....im not saying for everyone but for most.......its def way safer to learn w/ a hb, but a lil bit more fun and i think beneficial to learn w.o one

chirpin4th

Good ****.. I just picture someone who can barely use the rear brake trying to do spreaders w/out the HB. Makes me nervous.

Sick pics BTW.
