everytime i try it, i just slide right off and i dont wanna beat my tank in. if i get to far forward my legs hit the handlebars, so whats the trick to it?

 

Try griptape if you don't want to smash your tank. Keep in mind that it will happen anyway from doing them. Find another tank to smash.

 

get a used tank off ebay and dent that biatch in, it's just gonna happen anyways.

 

you can do it on a stock tank without putting anything on it. Lean back. If you lean forward your body wants to slide down, if you lean back it presses your weight against the tank. If you are new to spreaders your natural reaction is to lean forward so you can see better which makes you slide off the tank. Lean back and dont worry about watchin where you are going so much.

 

I used to slide off the tank last year, then I smashed my tank in more and now I don't.

 

thanks, thats what i was doin, ill try that and see how it goes

 

I have no grip tape, and my tank isn't dented. I just lean back a little and brace my arms on my thighs, then lock my elbows.

 

leaning back is very important on all wheelies. newbies always lean foward cause they think they r gonna flip but watch the pros do sreaders, they cant even see the road.

 

go to a surf/skate shop and get one of those surf pads and put it on. buddy of mine had one on his non dented tank and he never slide off.

 

thanks for the help man, it worked.tryed it today and it worked perfectly. only glitch was i wasnt smooth on the setdown and it bounced me in the air, i think the tire mighta come up again too from my weight bein up front. now i know for next time

 

i caved mine, and used a surfer grip pad. its a nice setup fo me.

 

i just can bring myself to do that to my bike, but yours looks pretty good for a stunt bike

 

i tried the surf pads and i like them but then i tried skateboard deck tape and i wont use anything else. i rocked an undented tank for a while whilst doing alot of spreaders. the only time it became dented was when i beat the **** out of it.

 

u could just have a girl in the drivers seat and have her hold ur *** up so u wont slide....but that would be WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too lol, just an idear tho
good luck

 

dude its only an f2... im gonna go out on a limb and guess that you havent crashed it yet.... you WILL.. especially if youre stunting a lot. get over your bikes prettyness and do whatcha gotta do to be a !!

 

what he said fo sure

 

my bike is MINT, i aint beatin the tank in if i dont have to. if it gets ****ed up then its all good, but i aint gonna tear the **** up on purpose. i just got this bitch, so i wanna keep it nice as long as i can

 

Better keep it on 2 wheels then

 

Yea but with grip tape on the tank you cant do any spinderellas

Just dent that biotch in with a dead blow hammer start around the gas cap and work your way out just dont crease it.. :YEAH

 

I couldn't bring myself to dent my tank either. Didn't need to anyway, I've done like 4 spreaders... Of course, then my bike got crashed by someone else (who IS paying the repair costs) and I got pissed off as I was getting home, so I kicked my bike as I passed it. Funny sh*t....I never would have done that before, but it looks like a crunchy piece now, so I was like ***** it, BOOT.
