Im new and need some advice

well i had a nice custom painted 929 that i just recently wrecked into a tree riding curves. so now i got a streetfighter and want to go hardcore into stunting. i can already do the little **** like wheelies and some stoppies. i never went all out b/c i HAD a nice bike..now i dont give a ****. i got a guy making my cages for 300 and i need to get my chain and sprockets. what do yall recomend i get for my chain and sprockets? i want to do cirlce wheelies..alot of the slow stuff....but i still want to be able to ride street and do 120mph at least.

thanks

Re: Im new and need some advice

no i cant 12..never really tried b/c of my paint job. i dropped a tooth in the front already.

how do you pop it up quick and go slow enough to do all the slow stunts without having a big *** sprocket? just learning brake control? or do i need to go semi fast to start and then use my back brake to slow down? i have trouble down here tring to find a spot to practice too...you get run off everywhere you go..

Re: Im new and need some advice

There is a ton of threads on this but the way I learned was watching stunt dvd's. When there isn't background music playing in the dvd, listen to the engine noise & watch the riders hand & body movements. I'm the type of person that needs to see something to learn it. I can't learn by just reading instructions. Just Good luck!

Re: Im new and need some advice

First off, do you clutch or power up the few wheelies you were doing when your bike was nice? As far as i am concerned man, you can learn anything if you can clutch to B.P. right away. If you know where your bike balances out, then you know what it feels like when it gets there. (plus or minus a little bit depending on how fast you are going.) My advice is clutch it up as close to Balance point as you can get it, and then roll on the throttle very slowly, until it feels like you are gonna loop it...from here you will learn to use the rear brake to bring yourself back. Go into this knowing, in order to learn killer 12's and other slow ****, you ARE going to crash. How quickly you push yourself to the point where you get it right, is how quickly you will be pain-free.

Re: Im new and need some advice

cool sweet advice...

i can clutch in first easy and ride it out with no problems and i can also power up in first and ride out with no problems. im having trouble with stand ups at the moment bouncing in 2nd. i guess i just have to gradually get bigger ***** and it will all work out..lol also new orleans has nowhere to practice unless ou do it on the streets in public.

Re: Im new and need some advice

I dont really like the advice of using the brake to bring you back. Just a few days ago I realised that the brake has been sort of a crutch for me--I was using it TOO much--does that make sense? Now, I clutch it up, catch it with the rear brake, then let off and 12 with no brake--every once in a while giving it a tippy-tap...Anybody else do it like this? I've found that this opens many new doors--12ing longer distances, smoother--no more wobbles--one handers easier too.....
