but if u arnt that good, and im not saying that ur not that good kxrider ihave no idea how good you are. and dont do it for a living, and use it as a crutch....then ur wheelies are garbage....but thats also just my

by taking away the fear of flipping u learn how high u can actually go, and u learn alot quicker...my hb was my best teacher, i kno understand the meaning of engine BRAKE, and i hardly use my handbrake except for tricks its ment to be used on
so mount em up people

he's saying that the HB gave him the confidence to go farther and farther back with throttle alone, because he knew he could bring it down if he needed to.

yep, so if he didn't have it, he wouldn't have learned engine brake nearly as fast, because he couldn't push himself safely

Re: teaching hb
Hopefully soon this HB thing won't be an issue.
Alot of people think that making your bike easier to stunt is cheating. If this was true then almost every professional stunter would be cheating because they have geared bikes.
This sport is about doing cooler stunts am I right? It doesn't matter if you have a geared bike and it shouldn't matter if you have a handbrake.
Everyone knows that Darius OWNED Kyle Woods at stuntwars. I think the judges let Kyle Woods win because they were bias about the HB.
I would like to see someone do a no throttle hand highchair without a handbrake. Or see highchair circles.

Re: teaching hb
if you can make something easier why not? every thing invented is either to make something work better or make something easier. if some guy can only rock circles with a hb who cares... hes still doin it. of coarse what do I know.

true, i don't have experience with motorcycle stuntin, but if your gonna loop will you grab your HB or loop??
i'm not trying to pis anybody off, but i mean it's like big sprockets, if someone can roll a 5 mph with a big sprocket, does that make their 5 mph wheelie garbage?
ight man, im off to the bike stunters forum

i never said anything about me being gangsta but i do think you are retarted
so you think that hand brakes are not to be used for no throttle seat standers? combos on idle? it should only be used to save you from looping on the hwy well then it should be manditory to have a handbrake it will just solve everyones problem nobody will ever loop out again Damit why didnt i think of this a long time ago , *** learning your bike and being able to rock balance point highchairs and such like everyone did back in the day before handbrakes were thought of........ u might wanna check out some of the old stunt videos ftp1 ftp2........ endless highway highchairs adn spreaders and seat standers, all with no handbrake how the hell is it done

Re: teaching hb
dude. I think he was just sayin, it's a new level and you get a feel for the engine braking you are supposed to be learning without one. It makes it easier and you get a feel for how high you can get because you can play around with it more, being safer.
Your gay.
I personally am learning without one and won't get one until I reach that level. I want to have a lot of things on lock before I go ahead and get one. But more power to you if you can acheive that goal from using a hand brake. congrats new HB dude.
