Well I've been taking some wild stabs at spreaders today and I'd like some input--I have no handbrake and I'm popping them up in first gear from a slow roll--Im pivoting back onto my tail bone fine but I'm chopping the gas as soon as it gets up high--practice will make perfect but i'd like to know how everyone learned spreaders and what I can do to help ease my throttle hand, smooth out and not cut the gas cuz in first gear the engine braking murders my nutz coming down hard LOL. Fun fun **** though anyways!!

Just dont chop it

Can you do slow 12's with no idle at all?

 

Yea--I'll work on killing the chop thx.

 

fellow 636 rider on the UP

 

 

you got no handed stand ups but not spreaders???? holy parking lot queen

 

just ride 'em lower at safe height and more consistant on throttle, you'll get smooth that way because you have no fear from looping...just ride em out until your throttle hand keeps a firm position...

 

yeah, you gotta keep your pimp hand strong.

 

I learned them in 2nd gear, it's faster but easier.

 

You Can Scrape Spreaders In First And Engine Brake Will Bring Er' Down

 

HEY!!! some of us just learn stuff in different order..... i can ride em out now but im no where near attempting to scrape em

on another note.... how the hell do people click their heals doin a spreader? i dont get it, ive been trying but its ****in impossible, one physically and two, i lose all throttle control cuase im trying to strech so much

 

yah... my dude fuzz can do heel-clicker spreaders ... but i have no idea how he does it - i guess it just takes comfort, i learned spreaders in one day (pretty much), but i cant ride idle for anything (been practicing)

my advice is to do it gradually until your comfortable riding one, then try to slow them down Special K's and Highchairs are the same as well...(for me at least)

 

i can ride spreaders for eva.... but **** ill be damned if i can roll back on my tail bone to get my legs above my hands to really get that streached out spreader look.... my feet are always below my hands, Pisses me off to no end

 

me and ed do fake heel-clicker comps at shows we do to get the crowd into it... ill do 6, then he'll do 7, then 8... you get the point... crowd loves it but you have to have a good person on the mic to explain it...

anyways... clickers aren't that hard... you just have to be really comfortable in a spreader, and stretching helps a little... dont try to click the first time... just throw your legs up to were you are comfortable... work on getting closer and closer to the click!

 

Yes I do. Is there a rule book on which stunt comes first? Are you the author?

And as for parking lot queen i learn **** a lot quicker in a lot then being chased by cops on the streets.

 

I just started learning em too.. I do em in second.. but I'm geared +18.. No HB It's nice cuz there still is plenty of engine brake, but not too much.

 

Try To Kick Yourself In The Face.thats How You Do Heel Clickers. I Am Serious!

 

to do heelclickers make sure your leanin back with your upperbody and have your *** slid forward a lil more this will help ya get your legs up higher which makes em easier to click...doesnt hurt if your 6'4" like me either but try that it should help

 

dead idle on spreaders, as low as you can set the idle without it dying

 

thanks martin
