Any advice before i try? I know to look ahead, but about the one arm i have on the bars, do i need to keep it straight and locked, or bend it and use my knees to hold the tank?? any advice is muuuch appreciated, and i'll post a pic once i get it down.

 

I, too, am interested in this.

I don't have the ***** to try it anyway.. just curious.

 

If you can already do decent stoppies, this one is actually easier than you think. First thing to do while your learning is to put it in neutral when you're rolling. You can experiment with leaving it in gear after you learn them. Second, start doing endos/stoppies with your *** all the way forward in the seat and squeeze the tank with your legs. Third, with the tank holding all your weight instead of your arms, pull a stoppie (in neutral) while taking all weight off your left hand (but don't let go). That allows you do go through the motions of a one handed stoppie without actually taking your hand off. Once you see how easy it is, you simply progress from there. After a while, you'll be throwin a peace sign, flippin the bird, high fiving someone, etc.

Also, get a steering damper and crank it up tight.

 

Thanks for the advice. It makes sense and seems fairly obvious now that you say it.

I'm just going to continue to work on making my stoppies more consistent for now. Just cause I can roll them a little doesn't mean I'm good. When I'm ready to step it up, I'll give it a shot.

I guess it's sorta like 1-handed wheelies. It looks cool, but it's terribly easy.

 

Yup

 

quick pic...just need to get the other hand off...unfortunatley i need a new back tire before i can really go ride and practice, and the urge to practice some **** is killin me

 

Looks nice. Try keeping your *** in contact with the seat. You might find it a little easier that way. No need to bounce the bike you got.

 

leave that **** bald its gangsta

 

LOL, it'll still be gangta for a while.
