highchair question
Ive been stuntin for 7 months now,I can do 1st+2nd gear sitdowns(descently)rollin endos about 30ft.,and I'm tryin to jump up into a highchair..the problem is,I can get my left leg all the way over,but as soon as I let go of my right hand,it seems to get really wobbly,(actually scared the **** outta me
---but in a "holy ****!!"cool kinda way.....)I was goin about 40mph when I did my 1st attempt ever,and it sucked.........anybody have some advice for my skeered ***.?thanks

get on ur tank like ur ready to do a spreader
give it gas (faster the more stable the bike will be) throw the right leg over first and grab onto the throttle again and keep the bike goin, left side is same thing just dont have to let go of the throttle.

i cut my windshild down with a spiral saw & then sanded the edges so its more stable too. i craked my sheild too many times. i put the left first & then the right. fold your mirrors first until u get used to it. if youre jumpin from pegs straight to high chair then hold the center of the windshield until youre about to jump.

is it true,the faster the better??--like 1 movement instead of doing it slow.....i'll be out there practicing later,hopefully I can get up there,get comfortable,.....and get back down quickly...thats my goal!!!then i'll work on the endos and wheelies......it just sounds insane doin a wheelie in that position@!!!

i take forever to get up sometimes. u dont have to go fast, just stay balanced. get one leg up, get used to it, then get the other one up. u have to be quick gettin ur leg over the mirror. but u can take as long as u want gettin each leg over.

i jump strait from pegs to over the screen and it works great.
get up to like 50 in second and kick it in neutral and let go of hte controls. I found if i try to touch the controls while i'm moving then i end up messing something up without noticing.

You guys must be talkin about a highchair stoppie , cause how you gonna get in gear to do a high chair if the bikes in neutral and your feet are over the bars ?Left foot 1st then clutch in and right foot over is the best way I've found to do a high chair , High chair stoppie you can do the way they said ," get up to like 50 in second and kick it in neutral and let go of hte controls. " and hop over . Hope you get it soon . good luck .

k when u hop over, do u hop with ur feet threw your arms or do u do like a reverse metzger and swing ur legs around from the side ? Cuz all i do is slide my *** on the tank and then throw one foot over at a time and it works easy, but jumping over would make it look so much better.

As with any trick it takes practice until your comfortable doing it. If you have a rear stand practice while the bike is on that. I do them real quick now if I dont jump straight over the bars.

I always get up on my tank first, leting my legs dangle to the sides. Then I pull my clutch in and put my right leg over first, get going on the throttle again then put your left over. Try to stay fluent when your doing it ,it will be much more stable.Ditch the mirrors.
