hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
just wondering about how people jump from a stand up wheelie into a tank spreader,i can do 1st gear spreaders but i want to learn to jump to the tank during a 3rd gear stand up...any tips or tricks before i go try this?
Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
i jump from a flamingo to a spreader in 2nd, just got to do it....make shure you jump far enough, coming down on the seat if you miss is a bitch and you got to find the back brake fast...
Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
well see..my second gear is blown out haha..also my bike is geared pretty steep so my 3rd gear is like a stock 2nd gear..and about the wobble im kind of scared about that because normally rear wobbles always puts me into a slap when i land..that would suck *** to land and go into a slapper on the tank.and BTW im 17..no daddy so the goverment gives me free medical insurance haha...

Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
well..my speedo doesnt work haha so i dunno how fast id be going..my zx7r is -1 +12 i guess i could practice in 1st gear but its twitchy as **** cuz i just geared it and im not used to it..do i let off the throttle while i jump?
Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
you want to have your wheelie nice and stable at balance point b4 you jump, the throttle has to stay steady the whole way through, the jump should be one smooth even movement.
Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
ive never seen anyone jump to the tank that way, try stepping up onto the seat then jumping to the tank. its really not as hard to make the jump as people think...
Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
Best advice I got was just ****** do it. I can go from seat stander to spreader. Get the wheelie nice and steady in the place you want it, then pull your self in with your amrs as you jump.
Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
Its easy, just get goin nice and smooth, get your balance and jump straight.
Try not push off harder with one foot, it will cause the bike to wobble. Try it from the front pegs first. I just pop the clutch and jump in one motion.

Re: hwy spreaders/jump to the tank
haha i dunno,this went from a stand up to spreader into a seat stander to spreader haha,i think im just gonna try from the pegs..just try to jump even up there..maybe in first gear...im still learning it all over again with this new gearing so its hard to stay in the balance point.
