no I'm saying I didn't tankslap or twelve out and set the front tire down on the curb across the lot

I got frustrated and rode the trail after that, because there wasn't anybody there who understood wheelies, they just have a fuckload of bikes. and kept showing me their awesome power wheelies and saying "do it like this"

I was just happy to have a bike to ride. and then I got hurt. again.

my problem was and will be again, I was still going past the point of balance, coming up a little too hot, getting the brake, dipping too low, throttling back up...sort of. and then getting off balance eventually, because I'm going too slow. it's way better with a handbrake. but no I was not magically good. I magically sucked slightly less, though, and I noticed. which gave me more confidence.

and then I got hurt again.

 

How About.....
My F4i for example.....

Put a 929 front end on it. I kept the stock clip ons in the stock location. I was able to roll 350+ feet this way. Never thought this was holding me back until I hopped onto the 636 and flipped and turned out the stock clip ons...

Trial and Error.. I dont like change at all. Ive always been Full Fairing. Always used the stock mirrior holes as a location to cut the windscreen. I feel there is no need to have a 2.5 inch wind screen, it serves no purpose.

Its all a CATCH 22

 

This might come as a shock, but these bikes were not designed to stunt they are made to race.

 

are you learning on a two stroke dirt bike ?

 

This thread is awesome

 

not anymore. But my earlier rear braking experience was sad. I'd just drop it down a gear trail riding, and my first instinct is still to grab the clutch and a I tend to be too rough on the rb with my foot.

a friend put some better tires on a 4 stroke 450. it's got a hb and a scrape bar and some pegs, it's a custom and I don't know who originally built it but he lets me ride it when he's in town.

it's pretty banged up but it's a lot of fun.

 

my earlier post wasn't clear. I was actually kind of bragging because I set the front tire down on the curb. I wasn't really going for distance, and certainly wasn't going for circles, I am still trying to get the balance point and stay in it, not just passing through, but I was happy not to have dropped the bike before I had to set it down. it was a completely different bike to me, but I had a lot of fun on it.

 

that is easier then t two stroke but if it has dirt tires on it then going slow is very hard on that bike

 

The sweetness of the tires was the first thing I loved. it takes me so long to get used to a different kind of bike, I don't think I know anything about the hb at all, but that it seemed to work well with my bad habits.

 

so wait, if i throw a hb on my bike i won't suck?

 

Pretty much :YEAH

 

by magic

edited to add: if *I* throw anything on a bike, it wil dangle there inoperable, until it falls off.

 

that would be a shame...lol

 

 

LOL i had a hb on before I knew how to use it lol. I had the money at the time so thought i'd just GET R DONE

 

I DON'T WATCH I RIDE ( UNLESS THE GUYS I RIDE WITH R GIVING ME TIPS) , AND YEA I JUST JOINED IN MARCH SO WHAT. I'M A NEWBIE BUT I'M PRACTICING AS MUCH AS I CAN. GOTTA START SOMEWHERE

P.S. I RARELY WATCH SPEED VISON

 

i think u ride with people with skills who improve fast. u should ride with me sometime and i will show u how badly someone can suck.

 

YOU DONT NEED TO CAPATALISE EVERYTHING YOU SAY. IF YOU KEEP IT UP ILL TELL THAT SHIFT SOCK GUY TO USE HIS GPS DEVICE, LOCATE YOUR HOUSE AND TURN YOU INTO A PRETZEL LIKE HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO TO KJ.

 

How can i turn down an offer like that.

 

LOL!!!!


HEY...
