Watch some oldschool Colbert or Matt Weber videos...


NOT hating, nothing but love, you guys were killing 300-500 foot stoppies before most of us were clearing 100ft... yours were just at 120mph!!! OLDSCHOOL!!!

Would a Hydrocodone and 2 Bud Lights be a good replacement since I cant get any Valiums?

Re: Help with Stoppies...

its easy just do a very slow parkin lot stoppie next to a train station...... as the train rushes past, film it (camera shot above the ground)

This should give you a combined speed of around 150+

You will be a winner and all of your friends will want to bum you off!!!!

Re: Help with Stoppies...

Ok I hit up a few dealerships last night after they closed and found a couple of decent front tires by the dumpsters, one's a re-treaded Tomohawk and the other is an old dunlop with just a hair of cord showing :YEAH

Gonna flip a coin to figure out which one I try first








lol
