Rear shock setup for stunting

Soo.. i'm wondering what is a good rear shock setup. do i want my shock to be stiff as possible? 1/2 way or loose as ****. i've heard that its easier on dirtbikes if your rear shock is stiffer but i haven't really ridden dirtbikes or really know soo anyone that has any input please put it up for me

Thanks

Re: Rear shock setup for stunting

I turn the compression and rebound to soft on the rear shock and fork rebound to soft as well. i leave the fork compresion hard so that setting down hard isn't too bad.. the soft settings make it come up easier.. i have not messed with the spring, but i noticed the back tire moving all over the place during slow wheelies at stuntwars and daytona so i think soft works......

Re: Rear shock setup for stunting

first off, this thread will prolly be moved to "help me stunt", but i run my rear loose as hell and soft as hell. it comes up for 12's smoother and it lands stoppies without it sounding like you broke something...
