I'm concentrating on slowing everything down, but most all of us started with that high speed highway stuff, because high speed stuff doesnt require a lot of skill just ***** and power. But it's still fun.... Got too expensive too....

 

I pretty much agree with everyone responding. The street is where everything started, so everyone will always have love for highway wheelies ... fu*ck going 130, but normal highway speeds sticking with traffic, and having cars pass YOU is pimp as hell, and will always be the best trick (in my book) .....

 

What cr6 said.That's exactly how it is,high speed wheelies are great and if you have a fast bike are damn easy too.But if something goes wrong at a 145 stand up you'll might end up dead.
HIGH SPEED WHEELIES TAKES *****,LOW SPEED TAKES SKILLS.

 

NO NO NO .. sorry, but I gotta jump back in on this one. A wheelie at 145mph doesn't take "*****", it takes an idiot, and LITTLE skill. There is a BIG difference between a "high-speed" wheelie and a "high-WAY" wheelie ... anything over 100 is WAY too fast and is almost always out of control and un-skilled. You don't get bigger ***** the faster you go .... all that accelerating **** to 130+ or whatever means, is that you can't control your bike at a constant speed. The **** I'm talking about is when you can cruise on the highway and yank your **** up and HOLD IT, at about 60mph or so. That is the original street **** that this sport started with. The Original FTP1 ****. That is still the coolest lookin trick to NON RIDERS, and it will always be. NOT that blow by you at 150 crap .... that **** people can't even see to appreciate. And to be able to control a wheelie on the highway, slow it down to a casual speed, chill with traffic, be able to manuever around cars/lanes, AND hold the **** for miles and miles requires skill. No doubt the slow stuff requires mad skillz too, Im just sayin that slow **** isn't the only portion of the sport that requires skill.

 

140 mph = Tank Slapper

 

I see it all the time.

 

that was funny also....i ride with a few people...they like to start wheelie at 110 bring it to 130 or so...then bring it back down to 90....they move in and out of lanes and cars all day long...it total control....sure.... they can die and any moment...but they live for it.

 

without dampers?

 

no with them.

 

Ok guys you are right,i know it's foolish.I've done it when i first bought my gixxer to see if i could wheelie it in 4th.My last bike was a 900rr(-1 +3) and i was pulling high speed wheelies in 4th and 95mph,but the gixxer rolled up to 145mph.since then i never tried again.Know i'm doing it in 2nd or 3rd and 85 to 90mph and i think it's still too fast.

 

Rock it back and slow it down......

 

Thats great..6 am burnouts..i am going to have to try that..

 

Na, wasn't worth it. They knew it was me, and just called the cops. Told them where I worked, which I just so happened to be there 10 minutes after the incident.

Back on subject, this site is about stunting, which can be considered anything that gets your rocks off. If ya want to rock it with one wheel up in the triple digits, may luck be on your side. Myself, I prefer to keep it at a speed where, if I wreck, I've got a good chance of walking away, or at least living.

 

i used to do 90 mph sit downs and stand ups until i flipped a one handed sit down at around 90mph, i had on a helmet its rashed all the way around only thing that saved my life, i real heavy sweat shirt, long sleeved shirt, short sleeved shirt, and jeans. i lost my shoes ate through the seat shirt and other shirts at points, ate through my glove on my left hand. i had rash on my right shoulder, left arm, left palm(hurts horrible), left leg around the calf and ankle alos lower back. not that bad in places but it sucked enough that im slowing my **** down slow enough that if i wreck again i just want to roll acouple times not acouple blocks. but i still do them just make sure i have better gear on this time
