Hey guys and Gals,

ok here is my story im 21 i live in Sydney Australia i ride a CBR900RR 96 model, here is a little pic to keep u guys reading


ok i wanna start stunting as there is very very few stunters in Sydney (i havent found anyone yet) anyways ive only been riding for about 8 months i had a cbr250rr for most of that time, now i can do monos in 1st and 2nd by holding the revs and backing off and then hitting it again the bike just lifts up i hold for a bit and let it down, is this way safe?
i can do little stoppies but cant ride them out,
also i hear that people clutch the bike up off the start but when i try that it either stays down or wheel spins i dont understand, (maybe tyre presure)
im also keen to sit in the high chair any helpfull hints,
i know i havnt been riding for long but i tend to pick these things up quick ive always been into sports etc etc

what is a mono?
and no you arent hurting the bike getting it up like that
try clutching it once that tire gets hot you just gotta get the feel right

mono = on the back wheel or wheelie

sorry didnt know you guys in the U.S.A dont use that word,

thanks for the advise ill try it at a lower rpm and when tyre is nice and hot and work my way up,

About the power monos,
Its all about techniqe. When you power it up the bike falls on the front then you hit the gas again witch puts your wieght as well as the bikes weight on the rear tyre. Why its esier that way, the bike sets you up.

on clutching just remember how the start of was when you powered it up and try to go through the same motions..... forward to back.

In our little vids it always looks like were tuging up the front end when in reality just working the momentum.... your body weight makes alot of difference..... basically you make up %50 of that bikes weight, just distribute it properly.

thanks thats a big help, i never saw it that way,

ill keep you all posted on my progress
