I've been doing Christ Air's (on the seat, my tanks not dented) for a couple years now and have never had a prob...I'm thinking about trying an elevator (elevator shaft???) (jumping from pegs to seat into a Christ Air). I tried it while my bike was on a rear stand and it seems pretty easy...seems like if i **** up i can just fall back down on the seat.
Do any of you have any advice for my first time doing one? Are they really as hard as they look? Does the bike start to wobble a lot every time you jump to the seat? Thanks guys.

 

just go out and do it, make sure you have someone film it!

 

wear alot of gear

stupid.

+1 on the gear and camera-man.

 

Personally, I like turning up my idle high in 1st gear so I can jump to elevator, acid drop, pull up a high chair. I used to do it in neutral, but I don't have as much control b/c the bike veers.

 

common people...can i get some real advise other than just do it? I already know how to do the Christ...I just need pointers on jumping from pegs to seat....do you spread your arms for stability? Do you land squatting or standing? Is it as hard as it looks? etc...

 

your gonna make alot of friends.....

just go ******* do it... if you fall, get up and try it again...

 

like already said...turn up your idel so you have a forward pull...put it in like 2nd gear....and ******* jump....its not that far....as far as landing just land like you normally land a jump...a little bend to the knees....

as far as doin christs on you seat...its bad enough to be doing christs....do it on the tank...i did it on the tank way before I dented mine so thats no excuse....

 

on my elEvator....get it up

 

you will get more help if you go out and try it first and get some video and then come back with specific questions on why you crashed.

 

check this out this is me about almost four years ago....about 1/4 through (45secs....) you see me do an elevator up close...like everyone said just do it....bend you knees to absorb some energy so the bike doesnt change direction too much and using idle is def earier than neutral...

i never got good enough to clutch up high chairs in neutral...
as for the elevator, you should be doing them onto the tank, not the seat. if an elevator is gay, what youre doing is richard simmons. the key is to jump evenly off of both feet and land evenly onto both feet.

 

Sorry, I didn't word that very well.

NOW: I use 1st gear, crank up my idle so I can combo my acros.

BEFORE: I used to only do "elevators" in neutral but I didn't like how wobbly it was and I obviously couldn't do an acro combo.

 

That was ****** sick man! I'm def gonna do it onto the seat because i can barely even fit both feet on my tank b/c its not dented but the vid helps. Thanks

 

that was a badass video:YEAH

 

^^^+1....good ****. You guys wreck a LOT.....I like it...lol.

 

Redline Jimmy says to make sure you dont accidentally kick the bike into first gear when you jump

 

yeah that was forever ago...most of the guys in the vid dont ride anymore...hahaha
