Re: Street killing tonight
thats what i see too. i was thinking of maybe holding a counterweight in my hands, and holding it way over the front where the centripetal force wont push it out

Yes, the lean forward is a must. but the bars dont have to touch your chest (they might though)
Take throttle hand off first, hold on lightly with clutch hand, attempt to have everything set, then let go slowly... kind of like when you were first learning NTH and no handers...

Re: Street killing tonight
I have Teach's bike at my house right now so i got a real good look at the platform... looks like it would make FIB things like no-hand circles and stuff easier.. and might help SOME.. but it protrudes out of the top of the tail and looks ugly... not to mention that in the case of a flipped stoppie, its a dangerous weapon that is aimed at your back or head... i personally wouldnt run one...
but teach said it helps a TON with FIB circle tricks... its one of those personal prefference things i guess...

I dont even do stoppies, especially not on my FIB bike. The thought of guillotining is whats kept me from doing a hook like AC rocks, but like i said, i dont even do stoppies.

Re: Street killing tonight
and, i always have shot front tires for some reason, even tho all i do is wheelies, and half my bikes dont have working front brakes
I do have 1 bike all set up for them, but its still too cold to ride it anyway

Re: Street killing tonight
BUT, now that im doing off peg coasters more, i really WANT the extra power!!! I think when i return from EDL it's going to happen.. i would hookit up tonight but i dont have a reg. mount caliper to try it with.. i only have 2-3 extra pairs of Radial mounts... harder to hook up...

Re: Street killing tonight
Next time I ride with you I want to go to the "John Legion" stoppie school. I have been to the Ryan Cramer stoppie school and concluded that he rolled so far becasue he was insane.

Re: Street killing tonight
Yeah i had the idea about 2-3 years ago when i first started using a HB... but then i just got better with it and didnt need the extra power...
BUT, now that im doing off peg coasters more, i really WANT the extra power!!! I think when i return from EDL it's going to happen.. i would hookit up tonight but i dont have a reg. mount caliper to try it with.. i only have 2-3 extra pairs of Radial mounts... harder to hook up...
