idle up, practice, get teh wheels up pretty high....when you feel it going back dont touch the breaks hard...just barly..kinda lean back and put all your weight on your left leg.......thats how i do them and practice..

and more practice...i started with basically nothing worked on them for along time and still can only do 30 feet before my Z broke..maybe slightly more...also dont let go of your throttle hard the engine rpms dropping quick will bring it back down as soon as let go...so ease off of the throttle.....all you can do is keep practicing.......good luck....and get some video of it so we all can see.....also are you doing this on ICE?? cause it might be different..i only have done it on dirt and pavement...and its much easier on pavement cause it is so flat and smooth

I learned coasters first (with the motor off), and that made it alot easier. It's all about body position and a light touch on the rear brake. And as always, time on the seat.

Re: No handers, post your secrets!

Re: No handers, post your secrets!

My advice is to practice them with your hands on the bars. Don't touch the clutch or the throttle of course, but having your hands on the bar will help you balance while you are learning.

And soon you will be able to roll that pimp **** for days thru tollboths!

Re: No handers, post your secrets!



Giving me "props" doesn't cancel out the vulgar things you said you were going to do to my mother. Don't dish it out if you can't take it in.

Re: No handers, post your secrets!

sit downs..........got about 2 lbs of air in my tires

i turn the idle up more than when im standing up because you have more weight on the front end obviously....

i bring it up...put my left hand on the cushion thingy in the middle of the handlebars......once i get it up a little past the bp i take the throttle hand off .....then i get comfy enough to take the other hand off.......the hardest thing that i had to find out was how to hold on....i just kept sliding back....so just grip it with you knees......
