oh, and scraping ss is not a hb trick either
if you need help being able to jump around try sitdown to ss first, its really easy once you ball up and you get a good sense of being able to manuver around the bike

Re: Merk Steps!
apperently no one understands the concept of engine brake....turn ur idle down and go flip yes flip a SS at about 10-15mph depending on how fast u can run....the idea is to jump off as the bike is engine braking backwards towards the bar, run and push and with the engine brake it will coem foreward..when u not really pushnig anymore and just running jump back on quick....its easier with more gearing, or the faster u go, the EB keeps the biek from flipping onto the bar, which is why u need a lil speed behind you...its also easier with no bar at all, because u can go slower, and just let the bike come way way back and not really use the engine brake and just physically push the bike foreward.....dont use any brake at all wat so ever

Re: Merk Steps!
apparently everything described is the same that the guy I ride with does on the 4wheeler. I'm gonna try these this weekend. I have a HB but I never planned on using it. some of us actually do things with no idle (I'm no idle junkie)
