My style, I start off in 2nd gear (F4i w/60 tooth rear) in the sitdown position....kinda sitdown/staggared now because I broke my F'n front rearset, but anyway. From the sitdown I jump to SS, pull up and coast. Tried all that within an 80' approach last night and it wasn't working out so well. Kept running outta room or felt wobbly trying to coast at that approach (not seated well into position). What's everyone's average approach and how far are you rollin? Should I lengthen the approach or keep it short and just perfect it????

Yeah im rockin them for about 50 feet with an unlimited approach, including 3-4 accidental scrapes and a mousetrap at the end

dirtyrider

:YEAH

alexcod

def start it in 2nd gear and pull back just as you would with a normal coaster and ride it out hoping not to die , the faster you go the smoother it gets but if you fu*k up at that speed you soon eat *** !

You're just learnin them in the SS position, so why limit yourself to a certain approach right now? Just get them down and be comfortable with it first, then work on the limited approach... Better safe than sorry right.

Borne

I've already gotten them down without checking my approach. Doing around 200-250 footers...guessing around a 200' approach, but don't know. Just wondering what everyone uses for their approach.

ive been working on short approach latley(50') or so and going 250'+ but im running out of space at our spot.i want to go to a bigger spot to see what i can roll.then i want to see what i can do on spreader and h/c,i already use a pretty short approach for those but only go about 100'.if you want to make them real intresting bang the revlimiter the whole time but beware for your safety and your motor or just turn the engine off during the coaster and save your motor.

Suicidl rolls em out. Like a thousand ft. out of third. Disgusting.

Borne

Saw him bustin them down at stuntwars.....actually what got me to start trying them. Just really got into them last weekend. Second gear **** is awesome. :YEAH

dirtyrider

T'RIC'KY

Mike you´re my hero!!!! lol

hyperryder

i did a 250 foot hc coaster before my engine blew up i figured the only way to make any coaster smooth is to do it in second gear first comes back to hard.

Z-UNIT

the crunchy 929 was token with the pop up coasters


the old man on the silver and blk f4i with no upper was suicidl

Tony Carbajal

no the limiter is my style dont let people catch on mayne


seat standers = a few months back in Az i was using about a 250ft approach and i was rollin 800+ in
2nd gear
i dunno how far i can roll in spreader i usally run out of lot so i dunno but i know i can go over 300 with a short approach.
Hc i can go close to 200 maybe more with about 100ft approach

3824

damn ... i tried a spreader coaster the other day and grabbed way to much HB and came down so hard I thought I broke the bone under my taint

Tony Carbajal

yeah i've tried to shut the bike off in a spreader coaster and i grabbed a bit to much too. DAMN! i wont be doing any no motor spreaders anymore. Luckily i didnt go over the bars

GundamnitPete

+800????? is that measured or estimated???

Tony Carbajal

eesstimated, but trust me petey. Theres no need to doubt my SS coasters. They are birthday cake now. even with the motor shut off. Not to sound ****y but i've been over em for a while i can go as far as the momentum will take me. I can just imagine how far 3rd gear can go. Ask anyone i ride with

Z-UNIT

i just asked mikey alexx and kendoll in a pm..they said uve never broken a 100ft, and u look scared te whole time?
