bill is gonna be throwin down some dirty skill in no time!!!! meanwhile if your trying to learn SS i would advise jus doing it lol get going a lil bit clutch it up and cover the hand brake and squeeze it a couple times to set the wheel down so you learn to trust it

 

If bills skills on a stunt bike match his recent abilities on a fifty with a scrape bar (recent falls).... we could be in for quite a show next spring haha.
But yeah, his skills on the bike and a summer of lot riding, hes gonna be good.

 

You don't need a handbrake to learn SS.

 

in fact its considered gay to learn with one

 

Your comfort level would sky rocket with one though.

 

Ive never ridden with a giant sprocket, is there a huge difference with engine brake compared to a stock sprocket?

 

or is it not noticable

 

very noticable

imo you can notice a difference of 4 teeth

 

I didnt mean it that way, i learned with NO handbrake

didnt have a hand brake til jus beginning of this month

yes there is a giant difference

 

ok. So it woudnt be to bad learning ss without a hb if you do have a huge sprocket.

 

thats how i learned it. i must say tho that at very low rpms, carbed bikes have a **** load more engine brake than fi.

 

I dont know why but for some reason I thought it would be the other way around

 

i jus learned SS with a -1/+3 ....used my body position to balance them, I could ride almost consistent bp in 2nd gear

 

at higher rpms it is the other way around.

 

They look just as easy as staggered if not easier.

 

there tons more comfy thats for sure

 

idk Im tall, ss on the fiddy are a bitch. I guess the big bike would feel almost the same unless im bent down alot

 

theyre hella comfy

 

you dont look that tall in your picture? how tall are you unless your like 8'10 SS will be fine

 

6'2".......
