+1

 

i have an adjustable lever on it i chopped it off when i had it on my rr with stock clips....which i wouldn't have now that i put it on my f4 with db bars hey its just money right !!!!

 

haha im just as sick of it as you, it just seemed right at the time i posted that lmao!

 

I clutch it up and then immediately cover then HB. I'm always a little worried b/c what happens if I give it to much throttle on the clutch up and don't have enough time to grab the HB, right. But I have a shattered left elbow with a titanium radial head, plates, screws, etc... holding my arm together and therefore I don't have the strenght to hold on while clutching it up with my finger covering the HB. What do you guys think? Am I asking to loop it or do others also do this?

 

Thats what i do, Its a bad habits, and im working on breaking it. I jsut dont feel like i can hold on enough either

 

beleive me you will not clutch it up hard enough that you cant cover rear brake i redline that **** on the highway then drop it and switch

 

dick stander

 

when i cover both i feel like i'm not holding on at all ..... which in reality i guess your really not holding on if your covering both. Anyone ever fall off by doing this ?

 

lol, i havent. i fell off by doing combos and not covering the HB lol

so cover it

 

enough with the mohawks already!!!

 

I had a lot of trouble learning SS when I started. I think the hard part for me was im 6'4" and was 260+lbs. so all that weight so high made me really unstable (now ive lost about 40lbs and have learned how to use my weight and height to my advantage). But what really helped me was not covering the clutch when I learned. I found it a little easier to pop the clutch then switch my index finger over to the HB so I had 2 fingers on the brake. It sounds to me that your not at the level YET were you need to cover the clutch. And later on it was very easy for me to move my index finger back over to cover the clutch once I got a lil more advanced and needed to cover both. That is what worked for me, not saying it will work for you but its worth a shot.

Also I think 20lbs is a good start, once you get to the point were you can be looking around and just chillin at idle in SS then move up 2lbs every time you ride. I ride my tire at the least 30lbs now.

+1 on toes pointed out, kinda like how a penguin stands.

+1 on bringing the front tire higher.

+10000 on practice.

Keep at it hommie. 2 most important things ive learned is to practice practice practice and try your hardest not to get frustraded.

 

yeah once you hit 40 MPH you can just set it to autopilot

 

handbrakes for straight line??? i rarely use mine... its more of a safety net then anything... just keep ur rpms high and learn throttle control... without that then ur learning process of everything else will be slower and if all else fails push the bike away from u and tuck ur shoulder in

 

I've found for myself a finger on each doesn't present any grip issues for SS, but a spreader I do the 1 finger switch otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall off.

 

haha! i havent had that **** on in over a year thats an old pic..... and it was only for a couple of months back when my bike was still a orange tribal sf

 

thanks bro....hopefully i'll have some pics up next week getting the hang of it

 

So what you're saying is that you used to suck dick for a couple of months, but now your back to vagina.

 

Hey... We all make mistakes.

 

my index is currently in a plastic cast to try and get my tendons to scar and join back. i have not graduated to a handbrake yet but glad to see there are many dif methods working for ppl and i still may have a chance to choose what fingers i use (not by choice)

will get the og foot brake down first tho!

great read for squids. nice to see constructive help props to the seasoned stunnaz

 

i had a f4 i learned ss on i rarly cover the brake even stagered i was able to do ss for miles at a time it all about bp once your there your golden
