Inolen taught me everything I know about sit downs

 

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahah.... um no... your in the wrong business bro, you should be a comedian.

oh yeah if i was trying i would of asked her out and not over the internet... lol

 

were you making fun of her skills? be nice

 

i sucked at sit downs.. then decided to spend an hour on them one day.. if you want idle on sit down.. hug the tank with your legs.. it prevents it from wobbling, and gives you more control.. dead stop.. clutch it pretty hard, and let off the gas asap, let the idle pull it to the correct spot.. then be VERY gentle on the brake.. for sit down no handers i don't really tap the brake.. i kinda just grace it with a little pressure.. control wobbles and leaning with your shoulders.. just to ride a sit down.. still hug the tank.. clutch it up, apply steady pressur eon the brake.. and even it out with gas.. do that until you get comfortable with the bike being up that high.. and then u'll learn to let off the brake.. and just tap it when you need it.. if the bike wobbles, it's because you're being choppy.. 2 most important things.. hug the tank (don't sit back when learning) and correct with your shoulders

 

no i was actually being serious... i mean you dont see that many girls doing stunts so i was voicing my opinon... lol you know if people were serious they wouldnt be saying "just hold the clutch in and rev it up all the way and pop it" lol

 

come on guys.. don't make this thread into a whether or not roadrashchic can stunt... keep the stupid drama outta of this...


thanks mike (crtchrkt)

I'll try tomorrow... after my spine therapy.. hahaha...

 

BP's pretty far back there, farther than you might think. and he was right about the bike coming up fast, when the idle's up to about 3K mine jumps up with just a touch of throttle.

 

p.s. I did my first complete switchback yesterday!! hahahah YES!! +1 to aecro! hahaha

yea, mike has it right, trust me you wont be able to see, try and look down the fork tubes to see whats in front of you. When i was learning them i was told to focus on one thing like the steering nut, i noticed it kinda helped but its hard for me to focus on something for very long anyways. It just takes practice. if you got standups its only a matter of time till you get sitdowns. as long as you work on them enough

 

Well I've been chasing BP for a LOOONG time... I just got it consistant about a month and 1/2 ago... finally... I guess it clicked that I need more throttle and less brake... and bam there it was miraculously... I was messing with sitdowns yesterday a bit.. cause one of the guys I ride with only can scrape sitdowns.. hahaha... so I was like wtf??? he's a really heavy guy though.. ??

 

I'd rather rid a sitdown than others because I do them all the time, but SS on the streets are cake

 

well you know there always has to be someone to screw good posts up... i think they think they are getting more attention that way

 

get out there and practice them, when you think your high enough, your not, keep going. and post up some pictures of your progress
