Ok, how about a 90% 10% compromise
everybody happy?
oh and i'm in college bro (in a physics class right now)

 

Won't be going to that College then!

 

 

Everyone here is retarded, we are all now dumber for reading this thread... no compromised points are to be awarded to either of you arguing, and may god have mercy on your souls.

BTW, endos are NOT the fastest way to stop.. whoever mentioned that as a technique for stopping the quickest should be shot in the knee caps.

dont wreck.. wrecking sucks.. unless its in a controlled environment.. like an abondoned parking lot learning 12's.

p.s. - Im buying a Raiders football helmet to stunt in, *F* this $600 ARAI *****!

 

I know you, you flunked my physics class twice!
I am a physics teacher, and f4rider is an idiot!

Come back and post AFTER you pass the class little boy.

 

What the hell? Somebody just registered under a new name for one post?

 

bottom line is your gonna stop faster with both wheels on the ground using both brakes,front and back. its one of the first things you learn. anyone that took a safety course to get your liscense remembers that. i dont know the exact ratio of front to back brake stopping power but all you have to do is go out and do a little test.
1- get up to about 65 mph and stop useing just the front brake, do not hit it so hard your back wheel comes off the ground just use it to stop as fast as you can with control .
2-same thing 65mph and use just the back brake. ,do not side slide but lock it up, keep the front tire straight and see how long it takes you to stop(twice as long as just the front brake)
3- same thing, 65 mph, but now use both with control so both wheels stay on the groung and i bet you cut the shortest distance you have so far in half again.
no need for this to turn into a flame thread, you can test this yourself. the main thing is control and staying calm in a bad situation. if you panic your gonna nail on the brake and flip, ive seen it happen to a guy i used to ride with. hell when i got my first sport bike after years of cruisers and dirt bikes i did it. a guy pulled out in front of me, instead of staying calm and applying even steady preasure to both brakes, i just naild them both, the front washed and the bike slid 100 yards. 3 years later, i promise you wont see me make the same mistake.

maybe you should pay attention instead of fu(king around on the computer, better yet ask the god damn prof.

here's something else you can put to good use. prove it to yourself. after class today go out on your F4 and get the speed up to about a 100mph and roll out an endo trying to stop "faster". once done with that (if your bike is still rideable) do it again except leave both tires on pavement and use both front and rear brakes and have your F-ing prof measure the distance and use it as credit hours
