sweet!!!

no, don't get a bar until you can scrape the tail. a tail is forgiving, a bar is not! and if your going for scraping cut your pipe down or get a shorty. other than that just practice paractice practice.

a56k - a bar may keep you from going over but if your not ready for it and/or hit it crooked you will go for a wild ride. ask around, the concenses is the same, just trying to help.

TEDDY.B-

Thanks dude it means alot when someone who is more experienced than me encourages me, . I got that vid of you that you posted a while back and it's just one of the vids that hypes me up, thanks!

Yeah I already know not to get a 12 bar yet because I want to slow my wheelies down ALOT. Since I got the knack of snapping them up quick I have been bringing them up slow but I wind up riding them out to like 40mph. I just bring it down everytime because I want to ride them slow, you know work my way down from like 30 to 20 to 10mph...

Only time will tell... hey besides I got that sweet *** fender to fug up before I scrape the tail, . Don't ask why I haven't cut it I just left it there since I bought the bike...

Thanks guys it really means alot!

best advice i can give you is watch or ride with someone that can do them, it's 10 times harder learning them without being able to watch and learn from someone else. ......TED. good luck and take it easy

Well that unfortunately is my case. NONE of the guys I ride with stunt or even try or come close to it. All they do is ride and your occasional power wheelie here and there. I ride highchair and they are like "damn!", funny huh?I have caught the guys from IBWS once practicing but I have to see when they are coming out again.

I know how it is when you are trying something but if you see someone else do it it just gives you that adrenaline to really do it yourself.

I'm taking it easy, I'm in no rush I just want to be good not necessarily be in shows or anything, I just want to say "yeah I am into stunting" when this sport blows up!

when your trying to slow down and 12 make sure you keep your foot on the back break, get control on that.
