did my 1st coaster... and crashed
yep, finally did my 1st coaster..... and crashed:YEAH (with out a hand brake) i ****** loved they way it felt! but my natural "oh, ****!" instincts kicked in and i jumped off. i gotta give it to you guys that can do all these stunts. i'll get there though, after only 3 times in a lot i felt that i could try carrying the front down the road. when i did, i found out that i could pull it up 2nd and 3rd and rally carry the wheel. so... when i finally get in a lot again (an hour from my house) i was up in 2nd going about 25 mph, got a little gas happy and put it into a coaster (without a hand brake) went down, and and now my bike is hydrolocked and i want to do it all over again, cuz that **** was ******* awsome!!

if i had a hb i probably wouldn't have looped it. it was fun, except my sliding bike about hit my brothers gsxr600 that would have taken all the fun out of it

i did pull in the clutch, thats when i was coasting, and i was tryin to put all my weight at the front of the bike. but it just kept slowly rolling back. i was probably coasting for about 3 to 4 seconds before the 12 bar hit, it scraped bout 6 ft. i know i suck, but i feel good about it. cuz now i know what to expect when i do it again. and i hope it goes a little better

Pulling in the clutch when you panic right before you loop isn't a coaster.

no a coaster is when you accelerate the bike hard in a wheelie and throw it back to the brake and pull in the clutch so there is no engine thats involved in the wheelie anymore and u are just using the brake to keep from flipping over backwards. what you did was crash.

thats true it wasnt a coaster but when you are doing a wheelie and you pull in the clutch and it keeps going, it feels like a coaster. so, sorry everyone! my dumbass should have said i got a little taste of a coaster.
