dont use a hand brake ..... It really dont matter what leg you throw over first, but grab the windscreen when you do it to keep everything stable ..... rip that **** and then do the opposite to get back

ive never done a highchair wheelie yet but i took a few physics classes and, correct me if i am wrong, but with all the weight you have up front wouldnt just letting off the throttle be enough to save a loop or god forbid using the front brake and stopping the front wheel from spinning would even bring the front back down
p.s. that would also leave a hell of a skid mark too on the road and in your pants, oh and by the way do regular wheelies really start to get so boring that you start to try them like this? wow i cant wait!

Damn, thats like 18 questions in 1.
Lets see...

Dont stunt on the higway anymore so ......
But I hop to tank
left leg first, then right....same way down, left first, then right

OR just hop straight to highchair from the pegs. Yeah, I suck.....cant do that yet

First off, I am no badass by ANY means but highchairs seemed pretty easy to me. No handbrake

Good Luck bro

Go practice away from cars...what i do is sit on the tank with legs hanging ot the side then just pick 1 leg up at a time and put it over the bars..make sure you hold on tight when trying to wheelie..and if you start to fall back do not grip the throttle...

hmm, let me think... i hop on the tank, then also put the left leg first over the bars, then the right. same way back. try to practice somewhere away from cars. also - no handbrake. and if you´re up in a wheelie, just lean forward to get a comfortable feeling.

Not like you don't have enough to think about... be careful to not bump the right handbrake with your foot when you are coming back out of postion.

i throw one leg over at a time i wrecked too many times trying to go straight to the highchair position must be the wind or somethign i dont know but it hurts falling on your *** at 50 mph

as for the wheelies i can do them on the 600 but there **** in first gear i run out of room i get maby 30 yards and im down on 2 wheels again

and the 750 i have not tried them yet on it but i will soon hopefully i can get it up in 2nd and ride them out

i got tired of reading so i'll just post what i do.

i jump to highchair..if it's fast, then 3rd gear, clutch it up, hang on. if it's like, slower, then 2nd gear (about 50mph speed).

i don't worry about looping, just go with it and don't think about it. i have a good clip of me doing some. I can get these and gansta's pretty far on the highway if i don't drift left or right too bad. i get them balanced so i could go for miles if i didn't drift.

when i tried going about 120 kph i think it was a really windy day cuz when i lifted my leg to swing it over the wind caught it and almost spun me right off the bike, so maybe dont try it in when its really windy.
