Re: switch back h-chair '?'

the only thing that worries my is goin back on the bar and it turning and wrecking while sitting on the front like that......has it happend to anyone? if it is on the bar will it just come back down because of the weight on the front or will it want to stay on it?
thanx

I usually pull in the clutch and us the rear brake to bring it back down. I haven't had one flip or anything on me.

Re: switch back h-chair '?'

**** i crashed doin a switchback highchair on my blaster with no bar...honestly not a wreck to be afraid of

what kind of four wheeler you rockin with? if your rockin anykind of 400 4stroke...first gear clutch it up quick and you can rock the engine brake on like that just like you would rock it sitin forward, its still just a wheelie your just backwards....or ride the brake with your left foot......i wouldnt suggest pullin in the clutch then hittin the brake, that can be hazardous....another thing is dont ride it to rev limiter cause it looses all power just like pullin in the clutch, if you start to loose it 3/4 through the gear just let it drop by throttlein out of, stop clutch up and try again....i would stay in first gear just cause if you do wreck at least your not goin that fast nah mean?!

Re: switch back h-chair '?'

try puttin your wieght on your feet on the pegs or nerf bars so that your not sittin....that way when you clutch it up you feel more in control...cause when you just sit the jolt from clutchin it up throws you into the bars, then when you try gasin it your floppin between the headlight and handle bars, if you prop up your more stable

and if you dont wear a helmet normally id wear one learnin this **** cause strange **** happens and the bike does run over you trust me
