i've gotten them at 40 and up to 70 mph
i've have to say that i'm pretty lucky cause i've had alot of slappers and never went down, but i came to find out that it was positioning on the front wheel when touching down

Tank slappers suck!
That is my MOST feared incident of anything that could ever happen to me while riding again.
I'm not Newton, but I have heard that when your front wheel is up in the air and your speed is decreasing while you're putting down the front tire, you have a greatly increased chance of tankslapping. This is due to your momentum decreasing along w/the odds that your front wheel may not be perfectly aligned with the line you are traveling. If your momentum (by extension, your "speed") stays the same or increases you have a far greater chance of NOT tankslapping, because the momentum will exceed the lack of symmetry and your front tire will follow the line the rear tire is traveling (hopefully straight).
Basically when you put the front wheel down slightly more speed=less chance of tankslap.
Sorry for the boring input, but for me it works.

GPR dampners are pretty tight. They are guarenteed, Cool people to work with and I've had both Scotts and GPR and the Scotts exploded on me after after putting down a wheelie. I've used a GPR for 2yrs and not one problem. Track and Stunting. Also they come in all the Frickin colors to match the bike or what not.

I dont think its boring. Id much rather ride with you than some
of these other crazy *** riders. You really have to know bike and how comfortable you feel on it, in order to really start stuntin.
GOOD FOR YOU!
