Just began w/ two ups
 

Just the other day a freind of mine told me that she wants to try a wheelie. So she hopped on the back and I did a couple small sit-downs and she loved it. Last night we did a couple more and she was exstatic..... she couldn't get enough. Any two-up stunters have any helpful hints for us? I Don't want to go down alone, and definatly not with a passenger.... :YEAH

are you used to riding with someone on the back normally? I found that when I rode around with a person on the back for a while, just to get used to it, it was a lot easier to do the 2up thing. Of course I was doin endo's with a 110lbs. chick so it feels like there is no difference. :laughing

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

I love my skin WAY TOO MUCH to do that.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

take it one thing at a time. start with sit-downs. do some standups and work your way from there. have her wear gear though. brian127, i hope she never falls. a girl that is well known just got pitched over the front wearin' nothin' but a helmet. the rest of her is tore up pretty good and they weren't even going that fast. even if i don't wear gear i always make her wear it. tried to upload a couple of pics but it won't let me dammit. i'll try later

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Yeah a girl we all know pretty well. All I told her was that she was a dumbass. Not much sympathy... Even though we are pratically best friends. It mad me so mad to see her that way. I didnt lecture her because she learnt the hard way..I could post tons of pics.. And yeah her boobs got it too...!! Took me over 4 hours total to clean the asphault from Gixxie

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

start slow. do more when u feel comfortable tho. it hurts to flip a highchair stoppie and have a bike land on you. even tho we were wearin gear we still got served.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Okay as EVERYONE should know.....WEAR YOUR GEAR! And I'd recommend the JYNCO jeans for BOTH of you....they hold up much better than "girlie" jeans IF you go down! Start off with the basics....you didn't learn to walk without crawling first. May sound teacher like....but when you're risking 2 lifes not just one the basics are what you ALWAYS start with. Steve and I have been stunting 3 years now.....and we had to learn to communicate using body language while we stunted so that we both knew what was going on with the bike at ALL times. Make sure SHE IS READY to move to the next stunt.....and as hard as it is you're going to have to distinguish between her actually being ready to go to the next stunt or if it's just the adrenaline talking. Her freaking out 'cause she's not really ready is both your worst enemy.

As for what to have her hold on to. I hold on to Steve's jacket pockets......he leaves them unzipped and I can pull it tight around his waist. Keeping the jacket tight against Steve's waist keeps me from pulling/yanking backwards on him during the stunt. If the jacket is leather it will stay close to his stomach and he never feels my movements behind him. She needs to understand that you are NOT A JOY STICK.....meaning she doesn't use YOU to balance herself.....NO MATTER WHAT! She has to keep balanced on her own, if you allow her to use you at first she will never break that habit and as the stunts get riskier.....the more that becomes a REAL ISSUE.

I would recommend setting up for each stunt.....show her where you want her to start off.....an example is you in a Special K and she's in your seat and when you wheelie her legs go out to the side (Steve and I call this Black Widow)....you need to tell her that before she brings her legs out to the side....the bike should already be in the wheelie......if she brings her legs out right off the bat, it makes it harder to bring the bike up. Her movements need to be smooth.

All in all.....be safe. If in doubt, DON'T DO IT! I hope some of this helped and if you need anything else....just ask or PM someone like Carms, Steve or I......we know Tandem from it's beginning.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Although I have not met gixxie or any of you for that matter hope you get better soon and good thing you were wearing your helmet cause that would have sucked to get rash on your beautiful face. Sorry but just clearing up that I am not tryin to be sarcastic I just seriously think she is a pretty looking girl. Good luck healing up.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

I about cried when I looked at those pics... Ohh my god I was imagining myself with all that rash let alone a girl...

Damn I feel sorry for gixxie... I Use to have this huge crush on her.. And thought she was hot still do... But damn I know shes in some pain...

Get well soon girl.. Get back on that bike dont let it win and keep you off...Just wear some protection next time!!!


I just started doing 2 ups... Its scary... I know it will take time for us both to learn each others ways on the bike!!! Scary but looks pimp as hell!!!

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Yet one more reason to WEAR GEAR.

Hope she heals up soon!

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Hey droptop. it will be two weeks this weekend that it happened to Gixxie. She will be fine. We were in Orlando wed night riding for the bike night out there. Shes a trooper.. but we are going to a plastic surgeon to see what he can do about the scars. I keep yelling at her not to itch them but she wont stop and pics at them constantly.. :nono But she is doing great.. Already back out riding. :hello Hey Cat....

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Hey Carms....Steve told me that Gixxie and Reed ate it pretty hard doing that LeapFrog stunt we did at StuntWars......I can't stress enough to her or any other female out there stunting....WEAR YOUR GEAR! I know that they want to "show off" their bodies but road rash ain't sexy.......Wear the skimpy close AFTER you're done stunting......Gixxie and I have gone back and forth for years now about the JYNCO jeans I wear stunting.....but I can still wear shorts in the summer time.......Hope that surgeon can help her, but I can't feel sorry for her at all......she should've known better than that. But I do hope that she gets better soon.

Yeah, I was contimplating wheather or not to "have her ass" on my way to the hospital.. She knows she should of worn her gear. All I have to say is she learnt her lesson the hard way and thats what it takes sometimes! The sad part is, is that she DOES know better!! But sometimes this is what a takes. "A slap in the face to wake up to reality"!!

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

OUCH !

I will admit, I have not worn gear before either. After those pics I am definately wearing mine, hassel or not.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Time to talk! I hate this drama and never say much but [SIZE=5]CAT[/SIZE]

FIRST OFF!!!!!!!!! Sorry girl but i have been in the industry WAYYYYYY longer than you and if you remember i was at Stunt Fest LONG AGO when you were just starting to stunt and YOU watch me and my old partner tearing it up and remember you were on my bike while teaching you stuntS so get your own bike and REPRESENT! aND IF YOU WANT TAKE A LOOK AT the Loose Cannons video from 7 YEARS AGO! Guess who was in it as gixxie aka. GOSHEN GIRL...yep

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

And if you all NEW the whole story or was there then you wouldnt all be hating on me about the GEAR! I was out tearing it up by myself with endo wheelies, etc. with my jacket then rested to record. It was so HOT while i was recording i was sweating bullets! So i jumped on the bike and went for a cool off, did one endo, cause i have CONTROLL and wasnt taking it the limit then Reed caught me and ask to have the bike i said No i am using it...so he goes FINE lets do some 2 ups...we were a ways from the truck so i get on we do a pass and he was like ok well next pass lets get your jacket...so THERE my point made... :2cents

And yes, i don't need to hear it...and CAT my roadrash is pretty sexy as all the Orlando boyz...lol and sorry for wanting to hate and say HOPE THE SURGERY goes well...Well hunny no need there are or will not be no scares.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Wow Susan is mad.... Damn I never see her get invlolved like that.....But that ass in her avatar looks hot!!!

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

Shes a lil spitfire..hehe :YEAH

[QUOTE=RedlineCarms]Thats ok Steve.. I have permission... ;) Trust me I wouldnt do that to her.. Shes cool with it..[/QUOTE]

Woah, glad to hear aside from the rash she's ok though. When I first heard a well known chick went over the front, I thought it might have been you Carms, you're always hangin' off the front in some wicked azz stunts. Glad to hear you didn't do a mine <i>finder</i>.

And as for Gixxie, that sucks, glad to see her head's ok, I hear those are important. Her right shoulder...My brother and I both have those deep hole like rashes. Those hurt, and don't heal pretty.

Look, no offense, honestly, but...your point is what? That you were going to get your jacket <i>next</i> pass? Well, here's my point, how'd that next pass go for you? Well? Yeah, looks it. Wear the jacket first pass, or don't make excuses for the rash you carry. I've gone jacketless more times than not, so I'm not telling you what to wear. I'm just saying that you clicked off the "Hey" part of your brain for a few minutes and paid the price. We've all done it, no biggie. Don't gloat about your CONTROL though, as you look like you went through a fairly out-of-control event.

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

that roadrash makes her look tough! Its not even that bad, I have seen much worse. Be safe when you ride and dont wear your gear to make someone else happy :twofinger

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

hey, shit happens, im shure at one time or another all of us have done some shit without our gear... dont worry gixxie....GUYS DIG SCARS TOO!!!!! get well and back to stunting soon. :cheers

Re: Just began w/ two ups
 

^^ There ya go, good overall post. That was my point...mine was just longer winded.

[QUOTE=gsxrgurl600]start slow. do more when u feel comfortable tho. it hurts to flip a highchair stoppie and have a bike land on you. even tho we were wearin gear we still got served.

Wearing gear is prob the most important thing you can do before you stunt or ride. Football players do so why not stunnas, right? Srry but I agree flaunt ur silicone pair and ass another time.....I'm a nurse and scars aren't pretty!!! Spare yourself the agony and play it safe. Glad to see that that is ALLLLL that ended up happening to her. But as for a newbie stunna w a gal AMYZ is right take it slow! She helped me get sum of my stunts down this ridin season. I have been hit by an R1 while stuning on the dragway and I thank God everyday I was fully geared up. I don't even wanna know what could have happened if I wasn't. Make sure this chic ur ridin w is payin attention when you to stunt and ride. You two need to get signals down. Make sure she doesn't shift her weight around either. Make sure she holds tight to and not to try any stunts w/ out talkin w u about it first. And if u wanna do a no handed stoppie for example make sure she has the reg one down pat first. Good luck and wear your gear!!! :YEAH Stay Safe!
