Re: highway seat standers.

i do mine in 2nd gear on the highway. keep em low till you get used to it. if you try to extend your legs to stand up more it pushes the rear down which in turn raises the front. they are tricky...i stand on the seat while riding normal and clutch it right up. takes a lot of getting used to bro

Re: highway seat standers.

i can ride em 1/4-1/2mile or so, i havent done too many. i started doing them towards the end of the season and didnt mess with em too much. yeh 954's cant wheelie, i had to turbo and put nitrous on mine to make it wheelie. after watching you and fhl's video, id recommend you learn a basic first gear sit down before you try seat standers

edit, and no i dont get wobbly

Re: highway seat standers.

dude,that was old ****...i can hold stand ups 1/4 mile 1/2 if i get it just right..most of that video was me trying to learn clutch ups from a dead stop...i just got back from riding and i done 3 seat standers...first two i bounced and they only came up about a 1 and a half...the other i clutched and it came up pretty high and i let off before i could hold it...but i will get video of me today if you dont think i can hold down a wheelie....

Re: highway seat standers.

I would go out and try some **** today but my street and driveway is still slushy. The roads are pretty much perfect though. I'll have some video in the next few days. Anyone have suggestions for me for new tricks to try?
