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

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

yea it would be easier jumping to the tank from a seatstander. so i suuggest u get the seat standers on lock before u make the transition.

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.
