i started the day trying to clutch my 900rr in second gear from a stand still....while my foot was braking the rear tire.......
i did alright with that,even though i couldnt keep the bike up for too long i felt real comfortable doing it.......
then my friend convinced me to get used to riding wheelies period so i began to do throttle wheelies in second gear.......as much as i tried my instinct to get off the gas once the bike was at like 10' o'clock always kicked in....
lets just say i didnt like that feeling too much

so i stuck to clutching from a standstill in 2nd and my forearms are killing me(i will have to practice more tommorrow,but unfortunately i cant call out again just b/c it is nice out!!! :YEAH )

Questions:
1-do you need to know how to do fast wheelies in order to do slow ****...b/c i am nice on my 1000 but have never tried to wheelie it(too pretty,and too broke)
2-does anyone know of any good spots where i can go practice in L.I.(p.m. me,preferrably nassau and western suffolk...deer park the farthest)

 

learn a regular balance point wheelie befor you try slowing stuff down. I learned BP doing first gear standups at around 35-40 MPH tops then one day thought "im goin to try slow stuff" after probably the 6th wheelie ive ever clutched from a complete standstill i looped....

Now this season ive started in on slow stuff again because ive got alot more brake control/throttle control over last season and i know what "oh **** im goin to flip" feels like. Ive got staggered standups down to about 15-20 MPH but that still isnt considered "slow stuff"

Anyone can wheelie a 1000 at fast speed just wack the throttle and pow pow power wheelie heh. Gotta learn that Balance point or else your bound to wreck.

 

too late.........just came from around the corner where i dropped the 900.......clutched it up in 2nd from a stand still.......was riding for about 5 car lengths and thats when it happened..


i pulled the bike too far hit the 12bar,got a little shook so i slammed on the rear brake........but when i came down i stayed on the gas and that was that.......
nailed the gas on accident the bike went flying.....

damage:
bent dirtbike bars.....broken starter switch....REALLY dented tank....d&d shorty pipe half off where the rivets are

hurt ego.............all in all a good day........except i am in a lot of pain!!!!!!!!lol hurt both my wrists(scraped up)as well as my forearm.......F@#! it! **** happens...stay safe

 

bummer man!!! slow stuff always gets ya way less engine brake at lower RPM's. Glad you aight dust yourself off and do it again

 

ive never ridden a wheelie pro\ior to at a stop clutch ups, im learning backwards

 

1st gear unless you're +30 rear

 

+12.......and i was told to try for like a week using 2nd until i got used to it and then do it in first(b/c of the violence).......

damn my wrist hurts!!!!!!!!!.........lololol

 

just keep at it, ur left arm muscle will kill you too

 

The double r bit ya.....get it back together and try again.

 

Good stuff. First stunt crash (and I don't mean dropping your bike) is like a test to see if this is realy what you want to do. Especially if you get hurt. Glad you're still with us. You are still with us aren't ya?

 

Where do you live/ride? pm me

 

I am still with ya.............takes alot to get me scurrrredddd!!!!!
I have gone down on a regular bike! This is just my first stunt bike so I am learning b/c i never had the money to fix my pretty 1000!!!

 

You reckon you're trying to learn a bit fast?? First day out and you're going for slow stuff and hitting the 12 bar already? Seems like you're trying to rush it a bit.. ?!

 

Well, first day in a parking lot I went behind balance point my F2 back when the throttle stuck I jumped off and did a 180 with the bike managing to get my foot stuck behind the tail and rear tire, for some reason I was going walking speed.
