WOW!!!

One of my guys is trying to make a thumb brake for this same trick. Does anyone have a kit or know what to do to make it work. My buddy is pretty mechanically inclined but if someone has got it figured out, let us know

THANKS!

well guys i dont know who that rider is but o the old SBN i watched a video like 10 min. long from europe . i think it was the streetfighter something or other contest. well anyway someone did like a 60 mph highchair 12 and the brought it down just fine. it was all on video and i watched it with my own eyes. but **** i dont know what site it was on . but it was on a european riders forum, that i know.
those thumbrakes i bet work awesome because they have a setup for the thumb on tthe clutch side and it runs into the rear brake cylinder.and they say its built to not lock up the rear tire on full braking(sorta like ABS i guess.
well this is what i know from seeing so lata everyone.

ohhhh if yall wanna see a sick thumbrake i found go to
WWW.gptechllc.com then go to the products section the **** is nasty and a good price.better description than that other website also.
