Just joined the club...
The flip club..
Practicing slower wheelies in a car park on my KTM, clutching 2nd from about 2mph, left foot on the fender cut out I done last night, but the hole isn't big enough, done loads of 5mph ish wheelies, was great... until my foot slipped, bike went off to the right and I fell off the back!!
I hurt a bit now, nothing broken, but I fell from standing on fender straight to the ground so my hands hurt a bit. Didn't get it on camera either
Done a fair bit of damage unfortunately, completely buckeled my front wheel so need to get it re-laced..
Slow wheelies are pimp though, will be straight back out practicing them as soon as I get my bike fixed :YEAH

Because it's a 510cc single cylinder with low gearing.. if you want to clutch that in 1st be my guest
Was probably clutching from about 2-3mph not from a stop, I worded that bit wrong, sorry.

Seriously, not on a supermoto with low gearing, I wouldn't touch 1st gear. 2nd is mad enough.. or maybe it seems mad because I've only been stunting a month?!

Re: Just joined the club...
Sparks rides an EXC, which is an enduro bike. Unlike CRF's and MX derived bikes, it has a short 1st gear for tight woods sections. An mx bike has a long 1st gear to get you to the first turn.
My WR426F is an enduro bike, and 1st's good for about 15-20mph on the stop. 2nd is about the same as 1st on a CRF, YZ, or similar.

I don't care if it's a 50 or a 5000000000 if you're trying to go 2mph or slower you'll use 1st gear if you're a man about things
and dislike replacing clutches.You'll wear out your clutch, your boggin bearing, and definitely your matterdaddie (in the case cover near the flywheel)
