3rd gear is nice.. all depends on long of a stretch ya got.. need 50/50

if i have a drag strip ive done 4th gear

in a parking lot 1st or 2nd .. get up to speed in the first half and then coast the 2nd half.. steady rear brake is your only control

Re: coasters??

lol damn i wanna learn but i have NO back brake control. i maintain bp by throttle control on my standups and sitdowns and whatnot. i started trying to learn it but the people around here are *****es, plus i put new dirt tires on so its kinda weird.

Re: coasters??

yeah the damn rear brakes suck. i finally took them completely off, cause they would quit working after an hour of trail riding. hell sometimes they would hang up and slow me down without using the brakes. anyone who has spent much time on an old blaster knows what i'm talking about. thanks guys for the help maybe i can start doing these as soon as i get some good brakes off of a warrior or banshee. i've been rocking highchairs pretty good lately and i work on seat stander combos mostly. :YEAH
