No Handers!!
I saw that fiddy video from the Midwest stunt guys and that got me and my friends all stoked on the no handers so we went on a mission to learn them. I went from going 0 feet in a no hander to going 30 to 40 feet after about 3 hrs practice. Its a crazy wheelie but hopefully I can get it down and bust out no hander circles soon!!
WeSSS SIiidEE!!

yeah it was in the 256north video.
From what I have found so far I like doing them in 2nd, ( I have a big bore kit) i idle it really high get it going real good lean back
(pray) and just ride it with no throttle hand and work the break its a real bitch and you have to really get a good feel for that balance point cause you basically let the bikes idle lift the tire into the balance point and work the break to keep you from going back to far and its back and forth letting the bike lift and hit the break to bring it down. When your good it looks real smooth.
its sketchy but just keep at it and you'll slowly notice you can go 5 feet, then l10 feet and then 20 and so on until you get it down
Here's a tip, when you idle it up its better to jump start it in gear then kick it over haha I learned that the hard way

Turn the idle ALL the way up (idle screw all the way in)... I'm going about 150 ft now and will go further. It'll be in the next video.
You also need to stabilize the bars with something (tape, bungie cord, rubber bands) its easier to ride when the bars don't flop to the side
Left foot under the peg holds you on the bike better
When you turn the bike off it will probably try and diesel like a muthaf*****. Just turn the key off and keep the throttle pinned until it dies. dieseling is bad for the piston and s***

Start it up in neutral with the choke on.

91vempo I know that you use Vegas to produce your videos, how do you like it? I am going to buy a camera this week I want the TRV 38 or 39, but they cost so much, and then I will still need software. I had no idea that my editing software could cost as much or more than the camera! my question in your opinion is It worth the investment? do you enjoy producing the videos? why do you do it? hobby,job, make money? Since I am just starting should I just buy cheep software, and find out how much I enjoy it first ,or just buy the best that I can afford ?

Making a stunt video is fun as hell... I just do it because I really enjoy it. You get better at it each time too. IT's a good feeling when you get lots of compliments on what you've made
