Death spins foot down or not?
 

Just wondering what you guys think about this, personally I am doing them with my right or left foot in my bar, but I am not touching down with my other foot....Basically I just come in hot, and pull in the clutch and swing em around. Im landing them %90 of the time now, and Im starting to stall them at the end of the rotation and through in a throttle pump...I even got one that seemed to stand still in time, and gave a rev limiter before clutching out:yeah

So anyways my friend who is also learning the, he uses the foot down method and says that mine arent real death spins:LOL

So do they count as a death spin? Or would it be considered something else?

Re: Death spins foot down or not?
 

both count if you ask me

Re: Death spins foot down or not?
 

both count

Re: Death spins foot down or not?
 

I would say both count... Dr. Apex or Dr. Yes Man should be able to give you the complete definition haha


BTW getting my bike ready for NJ/NY session this weekend... I need a new bike.. that is all.

Re: Death spins foot down or not?
 

i call it death spin!!

lets see a vid of how you do it. im not at that level but it seems as if it would be easier to do by touching the ground ??

Re: Death spins foot down or not?
 

A. I think they both count
B. I like pirouette a lot better. Death spin just sounds like a bad metal band.
C. I still don't really get why RL are called that. I've heard it's because (typically) your [B]R[/B]ight foot is on the [B]L[/B]eft peg....
:LOL

I'll try to get a vid, but since my vid guy hurt himself there has been no vids:banghead

And for me its not easier with the foot down, cause I cant do them with the foot down consistantly....I was trying and trying and it just wasnt happening for me, then it kinda just happened without it...And Ive just been going with what works..

Re: Death spins foot down or not?
 

i think they look cooler without the foot touch.
