how do you guys rockin ironcrosses get your legs so far out to the side, i try and try but they only go out like 2 ft from the bike, would it help if i started streching every night to get to where i can do the splits?

 

it's all in the position. lean back farther and point your toes to the sides of you

 

sit far back on the tank and just kick them kinda up and out. do'nt point them forward, point them up and flat out, the wind resistance should push them apart.

 

another....

i go mostly out, kyle and the STL shockers guys go up in a V.

 

when i go kinda fast the wind spreads the legs for me

 

ok so are you guys bouncin second and then jumping up to a ironcross? i can not for the life of me get it up in second by clutching it with me on the tank, and in first i am running out of rpms after about 4-500 ft.

check my photos and you will see, but i get them higher than in the pic

 

If your a short bastard like me this is all you get.

 

damn that sucks

 

what is your gearing? i usually clutch mine up in 3rd on the interstate so i can keep my rpms down. that helps me be smoother with teh throttle. i'm 1 down 10 up. you have to use a lot of clutch to get it up though. you want to clutch hard and get it up fast.

i'm up on the tank and i kick my feet out as it comes up. i looked at your pictures and your feet are pointing towards the ground, point them straight out and up. like, try to point them in the direction of the nose of your bike. that will help out a lot.

you have to get them really high to keep them from running out of RPMs. it'll feel like you are falling and i am not able to see over my windscreen it's that tall to balance.

keep asking questions and keep practicing. i'll get some vid this weekend of some of my slow ganstas so you can see my body position.

 

aww, it's so cute...haha

 

my gearing is 1 down stock rear, but i just ordered a 52 rear (46 stock) so i will be up 6 in the back, i am thinking that is going to be my only option to get the juice in a higher gear, and i am looking at a jet kit too, but i have no clue how to install one, i just hope it comes with directions!!!!

i did try pointing my feet a little different, dont have a pic though, this is some great advice....now to only go out and get away from the damn snow!!

 

i wouldn't mess with jetting and everything. you'll be working on that thing more than riding it. just keep it stock with gearing. you'll get used to how hard you need to clutch it after time.
