Who uses dampers?

Who here has steering dampers on there bike?- i think i am going to try and start doing other things in my wheelies but scared i might loose it and land it with the wheel turned? Is that aproblem for anyone here? How many of you stunt with or without dampers? I know theyw ould help alot for endos right? would you consider it a must to get?


Also how often do u guys mess up on highchairs? SEems like that would be the worst wreck from a highchair but i guess its just baby steps like most thinks just keep getting it higher and higher.

I run nothing on mine......never have had head shake even. I need to for when I start speeding up my endos'. I usually start at 40-50 no problem.

never liked the top mount,jus seems to be more adjustment with a good front mount tube style
those top mounts seem to not get really tight
just my opinion

Who uses dampers? ...Everyone that values their life, that's who. Stunting without one is suicide. I don't care if you use a cheap-*** one; just use one. Only exception is a stock Suzuki one (useless). I've used expensive ones and cheap ones. The one I use now is a Shindy (about 200 bones) and in over a year it's never screwed up, even after bike was down two-three times.
