So,today after working out I decided to go out and PRACTICE like PITBULLMAN said and I still wasn't doing too well. Then I decided to use the left foot on the back peg technique some of the gdc'ers and stuntlifers suggested and man was it a difference. The first time I tried it came right up, almost scared me...The second time I rode it out for a few feet. By the 5th try I was going about a block. I was like, damn this is so much easier (Im sure b/c of the weight transfer). I wasn't clutching it up though, just giving it some gas and it was up and going. I did notice that after having it up my left knee was still bent a little, so I need to probably lock it out. Now I just have to add some distance and height (b/c it wasn't up that much, maybe 9 o'clock) But I still want to learn to do it with both feet on the front rearsets. Thanks to everyone that gave the pointers! I love this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!:YEAH

 

you knee will straighten out at BP, it does for most people.

 

and you dont ever wanna lock ur knees... that could cause you to pass out....

 

cool man but get used to clutching it up instead of just powering it up

 

how could it cause you to pass out?

 

Yeah, wrong choice of words. I meant to say straighten my knee, not lock it out..Yeah, I learned about locking knees out in ROTC, never lock ur knees b/c it does make u pass out. But I still want to learn how to do a regular stand-up w/both feet on the front pegs instead of the rear...that just seems so hard an uncomfortable but Im working on it....

 

im not exactly sure... but has somethin to do with blood flow and all that special ****....

 

yeah, how does that work?

 

im not exactly sure... but has somethin to do with blood flow and all that special ****....

 

i'm gonna try it.

 

do the damn thing...

 

i just kept them ***** locked for like 2 minutes, and nothing happened.

 

I just googled some info on it. it's the reason people pass out at weddings and standing at attention in the military. it's from keeping one group of leg muscles flexed and not flexing the counter muscle group causing blood to pool in the legs. apparently it takes along time for this to happen....like an hour. so I doubt its an issue in a standup. It's not like you are standing stiff as a board for an hour...like in a military or marriage ceremony.

yeah. i rock hour-long wheelies on a regular basis. :YEAH

 

how are you gonna pass out while rockin a standup?? hahahahaha

 

dude hes in like 100+* weather you think he couldnt have gotten a heat stroke wearing all that gear.. thats not becuase he was standing up straight otherwise the whole infantry would do the same thing

 

Ive seen a pic where oen of the gaurds from britain that dont move at all and hes just asses out on the ground with like 50 more guys still standing at attention around him, no one even acknowledged he passed out except the comandant, and he was just staring.

 

ha ha, that vid was funny as! I have neva seen anyone do it but it makes sense... not enought blood to your brain ay?

Lake.

 

it's not just from standing up straight, but from keeping your quads flexed, like your still trying to straighten your legs when they're already as straight as they'll go

 

so if i do this i will pass out??
