ok, again, i got my steering stem fixed, head bearings fixed, HH pads all around brand new tonight and everything is sweet on the bike. I'm having trouble iwth my rolling burnouts cause the brakes are touchy, so i suck at that, then i was rolling some 100 footer stoppies, no biggy but i wanted more so i kept pulling it higher to get to the balance point sooner. If i get it up to the balance point and i'm going more than 30mph i get HELLA headshake. even with the new stuff and the scott's. i almost went down and corey said he doesn't know how i saved it cause it was full tank slapper. what am i doing? i'm trying to lock my elbows but i'm nto getting them fully locked. maybe it's a subconcious fear because i crashed one already. maybe i'm just having a PMS day or something.

so done with stoppies, let's go do some wheelies. well, i can't keep them slow, i keep accelerating. Maybe it's the brake feel of the new brakes or something. I might have too much PSI in my rear tire cause it's a little more than what i usually run. I did a flamingo but the bike just seems different now. then i tried doing some spinderella's...oh hell no. i jumped up there, spun backwards and i couldn't make it all the way around, i got a little shaky then i got disoriented. So i just kept spinning around and sitting backwards on teh tank and learning to steer backwards.

I'm just sucking tonight and don't know why. I guess i wnated to rant. any help on all this would be appreciated. there is 2 weeks before star boyz comp and i'd like to have something to do that isn't stupid or outdated.

 

tonight i had my first show at a local car show. it's hard pleasing the crowd. conditions were less than ideal too, no room to wheelie except hte fiddy. i did some bad *** over teh screen stoppies and some donuts but that was about the limit of it.

tonight wasn't bad except i realized it's hard to please a crowd. they really don't have respect for how hard this stuff is. i was dead tired and still am. i give you all 10 times more credit. after stunting for about 30 minutes back to back stunts i was soaked through all my clothes and i'm plain worn out bad. it takes more work than it looks.

anyways, i'm still working on stuff. i think i've lost my touch at even coming close to 12's. i'm gonna try more tomorrow.

PS. thanks for the encouragement CBO. it helps a lot to hear from one of the top guys that bad days happen and to keep on going. it's just hard to mess things up and then watch you guys do some nasty **** and make it look easy. it does get frustrating but all the advice and help makes it easier on me.

 

ya everyday

 

this is true gimix. i never thought about that. people do tend to like some of the easiest tricks and not appreciate the hard junk. I guess i'll just have to figure something out that people will like that dazzles them and i could still get some points from the judges (when i actually start to compete in real comps)

and nick, does having a bad day everyday involve pumping beer into someone til it comes out their nose?
you rock at stuntin man. and speaking of which, why don't you send me some tips on how to combat the headshake on these trick 929's.

 

anyone who says they have never had a bad day is a liar. it happed to each and everyone of us. i think sometimes its better callit a day, even though you want to keep tryin,i know when i get frustrated i try to hard and make sloppy mistakes.....as in my earlier post on f'n my bike up 12'n.
we had our event this weekend and let me tell you i learned sooooooo much. it was freakin cool as were all the riders. i say just keep at it ... but know when to say when.
