Unhappy Highchairs

Any suggestions on the easiest way to learn them? Every time I get up there I feel like I'm going to slip off and can't seem to clutch it up right. Do you have to drop the **** out of it or what? I can almost 12 and starting to roll a decent endo so I figured it's time to start a few other things. Thanks for any advice.

Dent you tank in first thing...makes a huge difference. Then after your up over the windsheild its all gettin a feel for the clutch again. Depends on your gearing (mines geared down hard, so it comes up pretty easy with me on the front of it in 2nd gear) ...but you just have to feel it out. Weird feeling when you first get up there.... but an intense one too. :YEAH Same as learnin any other stunt....Just gotta go do it until you get it.

Re: Highchairs

yeah after u dent ur tank in some people do this some people dont but i put skateboard grip tape like where ur tailbone rest on ur tank put a little bit on there and u wont get the feeling of slipping off and for clutching it up take ur time get the feel and go at ur own pace be safe and hope u get it

Re: Highchairs

Pretty much any new gen bike will, yeah. The R6's are shitty for HC stunts though, as the frame cracks by the stearing head pretty easily.

yeh it should, i can do them on my buddies stock geared 03 gsxr600, mines geared diff and it makes it easier, just get up on your tank and ride around for a while get used to how the bike feels while your up on it, then just start clutching it little by lttle and get used to how it feels with the jerk and beeing off the ground, its scary at first but once you get it up there its a great *** feeling,


good luck bro, let us know how it goes

Re: Highchairs

the best way to learn highchairs is to crash them....when i wanted to learn how i put my helmet and jacket on and would try to clutch it up and loop it out before i got to 25...i ended up parkin my third one.....but any way after you crash a couple youll know exactly how tall you can go and how much play you actually have.....or get a handbrake and be pro in a day or your money back :YEAH

Re: Highchairs

dent your tank and coat it with rhino liner...thats right the stuff you rool on truck beds, it stops you from slipping yet isnt as tacky as grip tape so you can still move on it when you want to and it doesnt fu(k up your pants...just dent it a little the more high chairs and tank wheelies you do the more it will dent then, it will concave to your ***. just like an assgrove in your favorite lazy boy recliner.....then it will feel like your sitting on a comfortable chair when you do them.
