?'s for the guys rollin 250# stoppies

i have a couple of quick questions for anyone rollin out the long ones.
1. what kind of tires..street, dot race, or full on race
2. what kind of tire pressure
3. what kind of shape is your rim in( mine is a little bent)
4. how are you steering when the drifting starts.
5. what kind of speed
6. what kind of pads

1. what ever grips for you; the race tires are narrow and harder to control (heard that never used them)
2. i run 25 or about that
3. old bike had bent lip on rim and would only hold 25psi before it started to leak. bike i have now has good rim and feels no different.
4. use your body weight.
5. high speed + high endo = long
low speed + low endo = very short
6. stock pads with SS brake lines
i think findwhat you like and stay with it dont switch all the time

1. i have used race and street (race you have to warm up) street you dont.
2. i run at about 30-35
3. never tried one on a bent rim
4. use your body to steer
5. alot and high there is a balance point up there too
6. i used ebc hh they sucked for stunting they brake fad real bad, i now use stock pads a ss brake lines.

good luck and keep practicing

find a flat road. Runnin over 100 ft'ers can't be done with a crowned road at all. At least when I try to do 25's I can barely do those. Flat paved road, go on forever.

my rotors are warped

i'm running a michelen pilot race tire.
ss. lines..
i kept goin through the ebc hh pads and just put stock honda's on. yesterday i was riding my bike with no fairings and looked down at my tire. my rotors are warped. i am assuming that coupled with a taco=ed rim is why my stoppies go to **** after 100 ft.

too much loot to fix now, guess i'm back to crashin 12's

I love how you guys are talking about 100 ft'ers like they are no problem.

I'm psyched with my 30's or 40's if I'm lucky.
