Hey guys im a new member here..and a new rider..i been riden about a month and 3 days. So far i can ride a wheelie from 1st through 3rd. I can have it in 1st and hold it at 12 grand in teh balance point. i can get some decent stoppies. but what i cant figure out is.. how in teh hell do you skitch. i mean i have my kick stand down and i tried holding myself up and its like really hard. i seen one dude do it and he had his hip resting on his seat but i cant get that to work for me... what do i do?

 

dont bother.... they are gay


work on making your wheelies

 

dont shift gears in a wheelie if thats what your doing...gonna wreck the trans

 

how would it hurt it if i use the clutch?? i dont freeshift.

 

how the hell do you ride your bike with the kickstand down? and WHY!

 

It was sitting still. i had the kick stand down and the bike wasnt moving. i was practicing my form. why does everyone have to be a smart ***?

 

I think he meant practicing what he was going to do while the bike was parked....


But yeah forget skitchin. You do it once and you realize it's not a trick. Maybe off the back for shows but no need to skitch off the side.

Another reason not to shift gears is without being comfortable at balance point and having good brake/throttle control, you're asking for 4 week vacation to the hospital. Unless you are looking for an adrenaline rush as opposed to clean smooth tricks.


If u want to do it though try putting the gas tank underneath your armpit. this way you have good control over the bike. to get back on simply put your OUTSIDE foot back on the peg. this way you can swing your inside foot back over the saddle. try at like 15 20 so u have enough speed to keep the bike sraight and if u eat it you will walk away.

 

damn took me so long to write my reply he got at it first hahahah.

 

Trust me man...im COMFY in the balanc epoint..i been riden wheelies for along time on 4wheelers. i mean serioulsy if i can get it in teh balance point and hold it at 12 grand in first thats pretty good i think.

 

dont give me the finger i;ll send a bunch of 15yr old bicycle riders after you...

 

Hey now....uhh no need to get hostile now....just be calm...

 

trust me im trying to help u here 12 grand on the tac is not balance point. 12 grand at bp would send your subframe 4 inches into concrete

 

oh and dela i wasnt meaning ot sound like a smartass or antying. im just saying with me riden a little over a month i think thats pretty good so far.

 

Ok Not to argue but what im sayin is i roll the throttle to get the wheelie up. from 8 grand. then i chop the throttle till i find the balance point. i swear to you. i just learned it today i hold hte throttle at 12 grand and its steady

 

Damn straight. I agree. shifting alone in a wheelie after a month is awesome. but wheelies are like science. everytime you improve a whole other ballgame opens. so when i say good throttle/brake control im talking about to doing coasters and all that stuff. I'm not even at that level. I can ride idle and i want to kill myself when i think how good my brake/throttle control is.

Man i dont even wanna think about coastin right now.. haha my bike is MINT..i need to do better stoppies.... like rollin them more than 3ft. cuz i rol them to a stop from like 20mph. Do you want to go on that chat thing on here? or do you have msn so i cna get some pointers?

 

i know what u mean. The bike is balanced. but its not at balancing point. u know what im saying? like u have maintained balance/steady speed but u need the gas to keep the wheelie. seriously. straight up help here!

 

Ok i under stand what you mean..you mean the balance point without giving it gas. so you can coast..

 

\

yeah exactly. this way when u ride your wheelies u know where the "Point of no return" is. heh.

 

Haha Yea... i've almsot went back a few times..i just would let off and tap the back brake. i just find the bp for giving it gas..haha thats cool enough for me.
