Well, most of the time when I am going to try something new, I go out and get all the info I can on it. Then I work out a plan from the start to the end. Well, this time I missed some my steps and it wasn't it good. I have been progressing nice these past couple of months with new trick after trick. I just fixed my ride after the latest 12 boo boo, and took my buddies out after work to try some new stuff. I wanted to get feet over endos down, so I told my buddies stand on either side of the bike and catch it if I made a mistake. Well, I guess I felt pretty comfortable with them being there cause I was hauling *** in, probaly like 45-50. I kept hearing all the advice I had gotten, like "don't worry about sliding off the front, just go with it" and "it's all in your head".....So, I hit the brake something good, cause all I remember was my friends scattering all over the place when the front tire turned in sharp as hell I slid off the front fast....very fast. I was running my legs off trying to not get hit by the back of the bike.

Why did my front wheel turn so quick? I have a Scott's damper. Should I just eaze into the brake next time, not so hard I mean? Any more advice on this one would be appreciated.

 

So you wrecked your buddys bike .

You do everything just like a regular endo, the only difference is your feet are over the bars. When learning a new trick you ALWAYS take baby steps...especially if it is not your bike . Just ease on the front brake until you feel the rear end come up. Just take it one step at a time next time instead of trying to score a touchdown on the kickoff .

 

No, I took my buddies (as in plural people) not buddy's. It was my bike. Thanks for advice, I'll give it a try. I got it on video to, I'll post it somewhere.

 

Damn...now the story isn't that great afterall .

 

Damm, that sux Tony. Did your bike get messed up?

 

Thank god I didn't mess it up. I just replaced the fairing stay, headlamp assy, and a bunch of other crap. If one of those would have broken, I would have ****. Oh well, that's my life story these days. I'll never buy a brand new bike again.

 

The funny part is right before he crashed you could hear his girlfriend say, " He's going to do an endo???" Then he crashed!!!

Here is my advice, enjoy your fixed bike so that you don't wreck it again and have to ride your girl's bike!!!

By the way....... I'm his girl!

 

Man, that's messed up. I can't believe I am getting slammed by my old lady. Gotta find a different message board now
