how many people ride in the rain? sht is rough, i just tried for the first time today and i couldn't get my tire to hook for the life of me.props to all who are doin it

 

im gonna put some air in my back tire and go out front and practice burnouts in the rain. dont usually ride in it tho

 

i did the other night, it was freezing rain though so it got way to slick....

and burnouts in the rain suck cause the front end pushes real bad.

 

Riding in the rain isnt to bad as long as it isnt a huge downpoor.

 

how do you get your tire to hook? i was kinda stumped on that one, even clutching it soft wasn't pretty. i was runnin maybe 10-12 psi

 

i run 18psi..you gotta be smooth with the clutch and power. there is a fine line between getting it up fast and breaking the tire loose.

 

i hear that

 

rain is fun


check out servin it up 2

thats how we do it in the south

 

actually you were one of the people in mind when i was sayin props to all who ride rain. got siu2 a couple days ago. pimp **** by the way that face plate almost looked bad

 

rain wheelies are hard, I will give you that! ive been riding in the rain all season. You think rain is bad...ride in Vegas on the main roads like the strip! If you've ever done that....rain is candy!

 

since i dont have a car.. i have to ride in the rain.. but never tried a stunt (well ive done burn out). To chicken to stunt in the rain....

 

that stunt bike of yours i've seen is your main wheels? or you got another bike

 

stunt bike = daily driver... and has over 35k..in miles.

 

Just road 12's for the first time in the rain Tue. night. It was fun but I'd much rather be on dry pavement. Our spot had a big puddle in the middle, I was scraping through it , it was cool.

 

as long as it is not a hurricane we practice in the rain. plus summers in FL leave you no choice.

 

its 3 things to 12ing in the rain

if need be, being comfortable with the tire spinning...then suddenly catching and slinging you up

being really easy on the clutch, feathring it more than normally

preloading the front end right before you feather the clutch out...I think thats probably the most important


burnouts are easy...u just take it easier than u normally would

and yeah the face plant was not fun....foot slipped off, hands slipped off, bar hit my fore arms, which were conveniently in front of my face

truth be told, those burnouts and stuff in the video I did after the wreck...so it looked way worse than it was...but it could have been crucial...I should have had a helmet on

 

I seen' you tear it up son! face plant ape hanger in the down poor in a flooded out parking lot. I did like that though. mad style!

I was riding in the rain a week weeks back, right foot slipped off the pass. peg. bike went down, I flipped over the front, took a clip on right in the gut.

it sucked!!

 

I was just ridin in the rain like 2 days ago, tried to wheelie but my back tire just spun like f***. I was skitching koo though, felt like water sking...
