I never fell learning... but now that I do slow stuff I set my bike down a lot. I don't really consider them crashes, I just consider it learning.

I never crashed learning, but the last wheelie i pulled last season my tire blew out because it didn't have much tread left, hence my own damn fault

Now that I read this, that made no ******' sense. What I meant to say was when I was still a squid first learning wheelies I never wrecked. But once I got a stunt bike and really worked on doing idle wheelies, I set down my bike a lot. That's just part of the learning curve.

I never went down back in the day doing highway stuff.....its when u start to learn the slow stuff (i.e. 12 o'clock tricks, circles, and coasters) that you will start to eat it

Re: Did you learn wheelies WITHOUT crashing??

crtch, if youve only crashed 4 times, why does your bike look like such a piece of ****?

Re: Did you learn wheelies WITHOUT crashing??

Back in the day I had 2 bad crashes 1) I went from a high chair right into a high chair endo. I got tank slap hit a curb and got pined between the bike and a pine tree. Fucked me up. This was back in 97 no hand brake

2) I was on a highway stand up and my kick stand moved down shut the bike off locked the back tire up and well you know the rest. No jacket and shorts and that was way before anyone used the back break

Now my bike hits the ground every time I ride. Cage tested and approved
