I want to try this, but I use my left arm too much to hold myself up..

I've been trying using my right arm more, but it is harder to controll throttle while holding on so tight with throttle hand..

any easy way to do this or pratice this ? should I be working on supporting my weight with my legs more ?

 

if you are trying this with sitdowns, just lean against the back seat, and grip the tank with your knees. if you are doing stand-ups i'm not much help because i haven't done it. buddy of mine does them, and it looks like he is actually leaning into the bike. like he is puting pressure on to the tank with his thighs....... it's not gay to say thighs when you're talking about another guy is it?

 

yeah someone tell some tips cause I wanna know how too.
I have the same problem, that it feels like if I let go I'm gonna fall right off.

 

Bler....ask Crazy Dan
O wait....he only does it when he is jumping his street bike??...so as a stunter he wont be any help for you.

 

Squeeze with your legs and it takes alot of the pressure off of your arms. Good Luck

Pic number 3, I can only hold it for about 500 ft. though.

 

Uh oh this threads gonna get bastardized....bring on the bashing.....:YEAH


I'm gonna need to squeeze that tank hard with my knee's, cause right now I'm riding with a fractured wrist on my throttle hand.
*** it No pain No gain

 

yah, why would I ask Dan, all he does is jump bikes

gee, what an immature statement.. grow the **** up.. I love the maturity level here..

I'll go do it without any of ya'lls ****ing help too ! peace

and yes I'm going to do it standing.. so I can't use my legs to hold onto the tahk..

 

I would just try leaning into bike a little, if your doing them standing.
Sitdowns would seem alot easier, since you can grab tank with legs.

 

yah, I was lookin at some pic's and that's what it looks like people are doin..

 

in a standup; put your right leg on passenger peg( cant cover brake that way though) and support your weight on that leg. then take off your clutch hand and grab your fender... good luck

 

All he does is what retard? You are to easy to make fun of.
I bet you have a lot of friends dont you

 

 

This is a fine example why you dont "down play" anyone here.

 

man you ARE stupid

I was being sarcastic..

hey, do me a favor and don't talk to me untill _YOU_ grow up and learn to let things drop...

 

just get past the balance point and then reach forward to the nose, and lean your body back

 

they are tricky at first cuz it feels so unnatural. To start, lean in to the bike a little, not against it or anything, just lean in a little. Then loosen up your grip on the left side, and support your weight on the peg a little more. Once you kinda get the feel for that try taking your hand off all together, but keep it close in case you have an "OH ****!" moment. Before ya know it you'll be rockin em and it'll be time for no throttle hand. Good luck

 

YAH, today I wasn't able to pratice much, but I did pratice shifting my weight, and using different arms/legs to support myself..
