well, when i skitch on my bike, I'm doing about 20 miles an hour TOPS. More like 10-15 miles an hour.

anywho, the only way i can do it is to push down on the bars as hard as i can, rest my side on the seat, and once i put my feet down, try to drag only the rear half.

Whenever i try to drag my foot up front, It always grabs and i gotta jump back onto the bike.

Re: Skitchin

play with how much weight your putting on your side (tank, seat, where ever....) and how much your putting on your feet... and it helps me if i keep my toes up kinda too... so i try to drag more on my heals too.

Im gonna get some $40 work boots and drill some screws in the heal... that should get the sparks flyin at night.... Ill let you know how/if it works out.. lol
