binder is getting better...but still need help parking 12's
Ok, i've been practicing hard. I got some small combo's down, i have the boston strangler (one of my favs now), i'm getting taller and taller with my gansta and heel clickers, and i'm rocking some coasters and dragging tail.
here's my demila, i need tips on coasters, i still suck at them, also parking 12's.
I was 12ing in first and slowing down, i get the tail on the ground and i can't get it parked. What are some tips? I have a video but my computer hates me tonight so i'll get it up tomorrow.
thanks for all your help guys, i know you stunt pimps can give me some tips and also let me know what i'm doing wrong when i get my video up.
edit: here is the videos
My first try at parking
me scraping the bar
trying to park and losing the bike

get the bike up, ease it back onto the bar and if you wanna ride on it leave the clutch out and just use your body to balance if you wanna park it do the same thing but pull in the clutch..smurf if the bike is starts to wobble on the way up don't try touching, only do it if everything is smooth cuz that is what killed me the first time, i didn't crash or drop the bike but i ended up in the woods

ok, what are tips about keeping it stable on the bar?
i can ease it nicely onto the bar but i'm scared to keep it there for fear of it gettin wobbly. what are some tips on keeping it stable and tips on what to do if it starts to wobble, like abort paths and stuff.

I practiced getting it slow before I started parking. Clutch it up high, keep going back. Once its past bp, I pull the clutch and lean all the way back. I give the brake a quick tap so it doesnt hit hard. Then you just jump off the back, and pull backwards on the bars while you're running along behind the bike.

well, i practiced more tonight and i tried getting my leg back in the 12 bar. that thing is tricky. It snaps up real quick. I'm slowly learning back on that.
Anyways, i got it to drag out and i was so close a couple times to parking. The last time i got it down, slowed down jumepd off and it started fallin so i ghost rid the bike and it went down the road..thank god it landed on the wheels from 12 instead of smashing on the side. after htat i took a break.

Hey Binder, great clips man !!
I actually was able to learn a few things from you !!
In my books you are actually doing great !! Just remember back to the dayz where you just wished you could scrape !
It will all come with time and practice.
I'll grab some video of my 12'z this weekend, that should make you feel better ....lol
Cheers

yeah, when tryin' to drag that bee-otch to a stop - lean off the back. puts more weight on the bar & makes it nice & stable. u'll know right away if its gonna wabble or if its gonna let you ride it to a stop.
lookin good.
