I don't think they jumped from a stand-up to a highchair...think about it. I have only seen them go from a stand-up to a 50/50 by putting 1 leg through then jumping to the tank.

I seen a video of one of the Iowa guys jumping onto the tank at low speed, looks good as hell

i had a problem with not jumping both feet at the same time when learning, also another big thing is make sure your toes or front of your feet are on the pegs. if your heels are on then it's much harder to spring yourself up

I assume you meant a jumping to a tank wheelie? It took me a few tries because I kept jerking the throttle after I'd slid off, lol. Just watch Servin It Up, and you'll see what that's like. It's basically a matter of doing it, do it while driving straight at first. Then pull it up and go for it, just be careful with your throttle.

ok, so you are asking if you go from a regular wheelie to jumping and putting your feet over the windscreen.

i've not saw this ona streetbike but i saw someone on a ttr 125 do it, looked sick.
