I have hit 100 off the back using a trottle miester and it was scetchy as hell. I don't recomend them to anyone. It's better to do them at around 50. F*** the scithin off the side anyway, it just is easy as hell and doesn't even look cool. The back is where the fun is at. You can really freak people out on the highway out here. people are like what! and of course the ladies

I've skitched behind the bike at just over 200km/h. I slid off at that speed then got back on at around 100 or so...

i have gone up to 90-95 off the side and about 70 or so off the back...but i'd do it faster i just never have...well tomorrow is another day...
and yes to those of us who stunt, skitchin is kinda lame...but to someone who doesn't stunt or dosn't even ride it looks awesome i have ridden with a group that thought my plain old skitchin at 60 off the side was kool as hell...anything can be impressive if you put a little flair on it...maybe it isn't cool,but make it look that way...ya know, do a heel clicker off the side, do it no handed grabing the windscreen or somethin,whatever it takes...when i'm riding with stunters i do stunts that I like, but when i ride around other people i do stuff that LOOKS cool...hell i think 12's are sweet but i have heard comments like "wow he got lucky,he almost wrecked" and i'm sure almost all of us have heard the "is he doing slow wheelies so he can learn to go faster?"
i was just screwing around the other day riding on the passinger seat/pegs, and this chick at the sonic i rode by thought it was kool as hell
basically a stunt is what you make it

it all depends on your goals as a stunter...do you wanna impress other stunters that will be going to the shows anyway,and prolly be doing the sme thing in a week...or do you wanna draw the intrest of the people who didn't know there even was stunt comps?

i'm not slamming anybody,but this sport is gonna peak and then die if we don't spread it...and to spread it we gotta cater to the audience not the actors

just out of curiosity am i the only one doing the off the side heel clicker and the skitchin off the side holding onto the windscreen?
that means i get to name them right :P

anyhoo, sorry for writing a book, i just tend to make long posts instead of posting almost 7000 times...lol...no offence nags

I like skitchin off the side alot... I find it tough to pull myself on the bike when im off the back. I guess Im fat. Plus the tail section hella flexes when I put all my weight on it... Kinda freaky.
When was in vegas, my friends and I were leaving wagon wheel and we were on the freeway. I cant wheelie good yet so i was doing some acrobatics. Some guy on a 92nizzle started to skitch at like 70. So my boy looks at me and points(the get that guy signal) so I hopped off the side and throttled up to about 80 to catch him, then as I approached, I put my foot up, shifted and flew by with one leg up at about 110... brought the leg down and busted the one handed side skitch. The guy got owned on that one, then I swtiched sides. I was gonna go off the back but i pussed out halfway hahaha...
Then the 929 busted a fat standup and I felt like a loser so I quit... Talked to him at the light he was cool, thought the highspeed skitch was tight...
The acrobatics seems alot easier for me than Wheelies... I'm just a slow learner on that.

Think you could post up that video for me
