even after you learn to park it youll still wreck (drop it) once in awhile...

12s in general took me awhile, i spent a lot of time pickin up my bike last year...


get a racing 905 cage if u dont already have one. i wreck my bike 10x a day and it saves it 95% of the time..

A lot of times. High altitude slow speed drops. Broke case covers, lavers, and footpegs.

G-Park = 0 drops.

12ves gone bad = 1, 2, 3, 4....

and just when you think you got it, you go and decide to park spreaders ....and that opens up a whole new level of crashing

I hear that. When it wobbles, its alot harder to save. I have about a 4:1 ratio for scraping spreaders.....for every 4 good ones, I crash once.

I know what you're saying! As soon as I get it figured out a little bit more I'm going to move on to highchairs. The one thing that kinda helps a little with the spreaders is, if you feel like you're going to eat sh*t transfer to a seatstander right before you hit the bar/tail seems to help a little.

The first day I put my bar on I parked it. It's harder to learn to get off the bar than it is to park it.
