Wondering if anyone can give me some tips on high chair wheelies ?
I tried clutching a couple up on the last few days of summer here in Minnesota, but I was'nt doing something right. They look awesome and I want to start working on them in the summer or sooner if weather permits.
I have got clutching my wheelies down excellent, and I have been doing High chair stoppies all summer so I am comfortable on the tank which is already dented down. Any suggestions for what my steps should be or any changes to my bike. I ride a 02 750 with stock gearing, and I would like to hit them in 2nd gear. And if I remember right I was trying them in 1st.

Also any tips for balancing, I am used to covering the rear brake and I don't want to LOOP !

 

Thing that helps me is to lean backwards so your *** is looking almost up. This helps not to slide down the tank, and feel the balance better. Also lock your arms straight. Highchairs were pretty easy to learn, if you have wheelies on lock, and are comfy with hc position you should riding one out in just few tries, believe me.

 

just be smooth with the throttle so you dont spin the rear tire. i just started trying them and it took me about ten tries to balance one out and three days later to scrape them.

 

yeah well your crazy i been trying to scrape just normal stand ups forever just cant make myself do it..you done riding for the season? i got my bike running finally.

 

What speed are you at when you come up ??

I am assuming that your hittin em in 1st ?? ,, since your scrapin. um ya 10 tries would be cool ! it will probly take me all summer to get it down good if I don't hurt myself tryin. Sounds like your a quick learner.
Thanks

 

just dont be a puss

 

practice practice... you know the bike can do it the question is can you? just practice it and you'll get the hang of it.

 

seein' as most of you're weight is over the front end, engine braking will be alot more affective. a little difficult to reach bp at first, but almost impossible to loop. almost......

 

i pull them up from a dead stop and i have a handbrake so scraping is rather easy but i have scraped a few without the brake. as soon as the weather warms up and get a group together for a ride i am gonna try to scrape one on the highway at around 60mph or so.

 

He's deffinately a quick learner! Scared to do highchairs and I made him. Then like he said a couple days late, scraping them!

So, when we gonna see the fast ones on the highway?! :YEAH

 

when we get around 20-30 people to ride and a truck so if i crash we will get it on film and also have a bunch of people to help me. is there anyone scraping on the highway yet????

 

Havn't seen anyone scraping anything but Standups and sitdowns. No crazy **** yet.

 

that would be retarded sick!

 

now what about standups krohn . just do it don't be a puss .

 

Highchairs are the bomb, unfortunately, I can't try any advanced tricks because my ride is my only ride, and I don't have a car, so I'm gonna stick to normal wheelies for now, but RESPECT to all you guys, seriously.

 

Definetly get that on tape I am sure MANY of us wanna see that. Definetly would be sick.

 

yeah i'd def like to see that too
