Okay.. so I used the search, and got nuthin of value.. (and I'm a little lazy so I didn't look tooo hard).. but chances are most of you are like me and have nothing better to do until summer, so post up your experiences with skitchin.. Best way to do it off the side / rear.. what can go wrong etc.. Thanx 's Maybe this can become a sticky.

 

i did it out of my car once and fell and my passenger was doin it to and had to jump back in hahqa

 

yeah that was me haha



skitchings pretty easy i like doin it off the back more i think it looks better that way but as long as your bikes stable its not to hard to get

 

how come when I try doin it, my bike keeps going to the left?? (The side of the bike where I'm at.) This is on my GS500..

My best experience.. Learning how to skitch, get going, then couldn't find the foot peg to get back on the bike, so I start slowing down, then start running right beside the bike, and once I get a full stop, get happy that I"m still up and standing, then the bike leans away from me, and eventually falls, to which then I start cussing and Bizatching about my new bent brake lever :YEAH

 

check it try it in a car first even in the rain get a feel for how much pressure you realy can put on the ground once your comfert is their go to the bike.
first go of the left steping of with you right foot leading from behind the left foot
keep most of your body on you r gas tank till you get nice with it
when you step back on start with your left foot infront of your right & bring it back to the left peg follow with the right around again
make sense?
its good to get down how you get on & off couse that is where the real problems are

Awww... see, Stuntlife... making ppl feel all squishy.. one day at a time. Or squishing them under 400 pound motorcycles... bah... we love it either way.

 

hahahah.. tried the car thing.. besides lookin' friggin stupid, it was actually fun.. I already knew the feeling anyways, but it was fun none th eless... Your advice really helped tho.. thanks=) what I used to do, was put left foot on the back peg, then right foot on front peg, (both onl eft side.) then go down left foot first. But your way is easier, since my right foot is my stornger foot. thanks bro ! ! ! !

 

stop your making me blush
just glad I can help ........... be carful out their

 

i was skeetching down highway 251 throu town and i was getting back on the bike and my foot slipped of the peg. so it it dragged me for about 50 feet but i manage to keep the bike upright so i just lifted myself up with my right arm on the gas tank, as soon a s i got my foot back on the peg the bike swerved left into the oncoming lane, i barely got control by the time traffic was coming. that sucked, my side hurt for a week

 

Well i decided one day that i was gonna try and teach myself.

So i get rollin down the road at about 40, and i turn sideways and put my right foot on the left peg, then step down with the right foot, put my weight over the tank and then put my left foot down, goin ok for about a few seconds, and i decide to get back up on, put my right foot up and couldn't find the peg, so i made the mistake of lookin down to see where it was, so naturally the bike jacks to the left and i get all flustered, next thing i know my knees are draggin on the ground, and i know i'm gonna lose it, so i jack teh front brake to try to slow the bike down a lil bit, and next thing i know i'm slitin down the road on my stomache watchin my bike spin down the road on its side.

I never asked anyone how to do it, never got any pointers, just thought i could do it LOL

Word to the wise, always look foreward!!! the bike goes where ur head goes

Yeah the hardest part about skitching is workin up the ***** to do it and then getting back on. Once you have that down you can go for the more advanced "bounce to seat" by kinda stomping on the ground and you basically get flung up onto the bike... tried it once... made it about half way up the bike and came back down. Luckily im usually able to keep the bike stable in "oh ****" situations.

Skitching is a cake walk once you do it about 4 times. Then you can switch it up and learn off the right side of the bike which feels really wierd/uncomfortable to most.

 

Do you guys hold on to the handlebars when you do it? or is your arm all on the tank? And I wanna make shoe plates so I can be cool like in Biker boyz.
lmso.. they would be neat though.. what can you make em out of?

 

ok, I didn't quite follow the explaination, what are you doing with your right foot? So is it infront or behind your left foot? and when do you put your left foot down?

 

I like it when they drop off the back and hang on.. that rocks. :YEAH

 

ok i can left side skitch okay enough just need more practice. but how do you get off the back and more importantly back on

 

even better when they do a backroll, into a skitch to the back... saw that one time, and I was like "aww hell naw I ain't tryin that sh!eT!"

Yea, I try to look forward, and my bike still keeps goin left for some reason. I guess I"M just scared to lean the other way, thinkin the bike would get away from me, and I'd drop it, and land on top of the hot engine (naked bike.) I think it would look sweet if I tried it off the back on my GS, since I have the passenger holder thingy lookin' like a car spoiler hangin off the back...

Something I thought, would be a nice new gen trick.. I've seen people doing wheelies while on the side of the bike. I wanna see someone doing a wheelie off of a left side skitch.. possible?? of course.. probable?? i dunno.. whatu think???
