someone told me they make a thumb brake for the left clip on. it was invented by a stunt rider way back in the day who lost his foot or someting so they made on thats like a thumb throttle off a wheeler but its a brake for the rear.......thoughts????

 

Pretty sure it was invented by the Moto GP guys to help them back it into corners... specifically right hand corners where you can't use the pedal.

I've always wanted one to be honest... for racing - though they aren't allowed in the 600cc race classes. I think it would be good for 12s, but I certainly can't say I have any experience with those kinds of things. Yet.

that sounds about right. gotta love that gp racing.
rossi is a

 

it'd be too hard to work the clutch and brake at the same time

 

ronnie from reality has a thumb brake

 

NO offense but look at what everyone is doing whitout one and tell me why you would want one??

 

dunno i was jsut wondering what peoples thoughts were. wouldnt it be easier to park high chair wheelies with one too....could open a whole box of tricks i guess.

 

Or better yet think of what you could do with one...............

 

I believe I saw Darius on here a while back with a homemade version of a thumb brake......
SK

 

wait a month or 2 then ask

 

yep, he's got a dirtbike lever underneath the clutch

 

You can park highchair 12lves with out a thumb brake. Ive done it. Kyle woods does it and many others do but hey its al good you do your thing and let me know how it goes. Mabey Ill try it

 

im not anywhere near doing it. but it was jsut an idea and i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it it sounded like a good idea for parking high chairs. I have a hella long ways to go before thast though

 

Dude your probably closer tahn you think. Ive only been riding for 2 years and I crash alot but I also learn fast. Until you just finally commit to something and try it youre only fooling yourlself. I crash, I get hurt, but I always learn what Im going after. I know it sounds gay but just have a little faith in yourself and youll be suprised what you can do. Also start riding with someone of your skill or better otherwise youll never have anyone to push you over the edge. Sorry for being a preacher about it sudt trying to help a brother out. Not saying Im good but if you get stuck on anything and I can do it just drop me a pm and Ill tell ya what I do and mabey itll help you. Hell youll probably be better than me by next year and Ill have to beg you for advice.lol

Peace out and Keep em up high

 

Buy the way I just got a new f4i to stunt out. how do they handle?? are there brakes as good as everyone says??

 

hell yeah they are. I have a 01 F4i and a 03 954 . I ride with a few poeple that are better than me to push me harder. so far ive been riding 6 months, learned my first wheelie fourth of july, now i do 1,2 and 3rd gear stund ups and sit downs for miles +, first and second gear tank wheelies, high chairs, rolling endos, christs, rolling burnouts, handstands on the tank, can cans nac nacs, one handed endos, ans i scraped for the first time lat weekdn and it was the very first time ive ever gone down . so i know what ya mean ablout learnign fast. trust me. thanks for teh possitive feedback man

 

when your gearing is close to stock its harder to use engine braking to bring it down (high chair, tank wheelies) a few guys in our crew have them... we just used like a bicycle handbrake and wired it to the lever coming off the back brake... i think 4 guys on our team have them

 

true people are pulling nasty **** without hand brakes , but you should see the **** people are pulling with these little devices, for example HIGHCHAIR circles, just to name one

 

right here nuggas!!! this is what you can do with it
