ok, i'm doing 3 mile stand ups now...usually 50-55 mph. what are some tips with body position? i have my left foot on rear peg and i try to extend my arms out but htey get tired like crazy and my left leg gets tired so i try to lock it but i can't control it as good. any tips would be helpful. thanks

 

try throwing a knee on the seat.. thats how most people are doing distance

 

so it holds my weight? i would be worried about my side to side balance and control with that. maybe try digging it into teh side of the bike? i have to control it a lot with these shitty roads so i'm constantly side to side moving.

 

try it out.. I know thats how Patrick and Greg do sick distance.. you can always change positions in the middle.. knee in seat then go to the rear peg when you need to stear

 

ya, a lot of sick distance is sit down, but i can't do sit downs for ****, i get wobbly

 

lift weights

 

i do, i'm in the army so i work out every day

 

I got the same exact problem. Doing the same distance then I my left arm gets so tired I gots to put it down. Left leg used to get tired but now it doesn't, Don't know what I'm doing different though? Sorry not much help.

 

do you lock your leg or what? i keep my left leg a little bent and use it do absorb some of the wobble i get with the shitty roads.

 

If I'm turning corners then it's bent, but mostly lock if going straight. At least I think I do? I need to video myself.

 

Here's a trick to try Binder. All the boy in StLouis are doing it and it seems pretty pimp. Take your back left peg and move it back about 6 inches or so. That way when you stand like that it's more like your foot is in the bar and you can staighten it more. That will take more weight off of your arms. Wheelie Chris that rides with the Streetfighterz and Shockers rides a 929 and is about 250#s and he can take some serious corners like that and go hte farthest I've seen in person, 5 miles with sharp turns easily.

 

i might try that. not a bad idea because it puts your weight further back, but still on the side of the bike so you have side to side control....i like that.

 

HEY MAN SEEN YOUR POST WHAT GEAR ARE YOU IN WHEN YOU RIDE YOUR WHEELIES FOR 3 MILE . I AM RIDING STAND UPS IN SECOND GEAR BUT I JUST KEEP GOING FASTER AND FASTER HOW CAN I CONTROL MY SPEED.

 

that one i did was 3rd gear, 50mph nad at one point i brought it down to 30 to try to drag tail but i got wobbly so i went back up to 55.

if you are gaining speed then you aren't at balance point. the bike should be light and way way back there. standing up i can barely see over the bike, that's how high it has to be. I have some video of me doing some short ones. i'll get some clips up so you can see how high i am. you have to rock the rear brake too, i get it really high and it floats, and sometimes i'll bring it past the balance point and use some brake to slow it back down if i get going fast.
