ok so lets see the statistics on how everyone learned how to wheelie, find bp, idle etc. and what they started doing first, and what they do most often now..

throttle or clutch?

 

for me id say back when i was into throttlin it back in the day it was pow pow's. i've found bp easier with the clutch. i rarely ever throttle it, 99.9% is all clutch wheelies for me

 

when i look back to when i started i cant believe i never got hurt

 

lol me neither. and i was squiidin it all by myself in the lots cause i never wanted to join "real stunters in the lots" i would just make myself look stupid. but i still never got hurt . its probably cause we were extra careful

 

**** i still get all nervous in the lots with a lot of ppl.... we have some killers around my way and they make me look like hot trash..... but the only way to get better is to ride with ppl better then you

 

on that
so give me the details that my thread is asking you ****

 

learned 2nd gear clutch ups. worked up to staggards. went to 3rd gear highway staggards. now learning to catch idle and slow it down.

 

nice, skipped 1st gear clutch and straight to 2nd.
wish i learned that way but then again you probably had some local stunters to train with

 

started 3rd gear stand ups then i got a handbrake and the rest is history

 

i went straight to clutching up..1000 wheelies later im at bp

 

wheelie right out of the womb!!!

 

im with you on that bro, throttlin for me was just a way to get used to gettin it up. like a old man with erectile dysfunction. but its all clutch for me. i dont think no body popps throttle in here

 

well damn did you rip out the embilicle cord when you whoolied out of the E.R.?

 

nah I learned playing in the street. the 636 has always been pretty close to stock geared, -1,+2. I've had a nasty wrist injury (bmx) since I bought a sport bike and a few years ago finally had a bone graft to get it fixed. when I was learning clutch ups, 1st gear stuff came up too violent and fucked with the wrist. so I learned to clutch up while rolling 2nd. learning the slow stuff is a lot more challenging.

 

was it your right wrist that fucked? my right was fucked off too but not as bad as yours. maybe you need a numb throttle bro. let the thumb do all the work rather than snapping your wrist

 

haha!!! now thats funny. i think so. ill have to ask mom what all went down in the e.r.

 

nah it's clutch hand.

 

its either you ripped it off when you idle'd outta there or that cord pulled you and your pocket bike back like a bungee cord


that would suck for me since im left handed.

 

clutch first gear staggerd. now i hate staggerd, and love fis and sit downs

 

did you learn how to clutch it up 1st gear staggerd before or after that night with the 151 and ice cream?
