No handers
This is just some discussion between me and a friend and I would like to know what you think...are no handers easier for you standing up - staggered/foot on seat(foot in the bar doesn't count so disregard it) or sitting down?

Re: No handers
Standing is hard to get crazy distance on. Sitting down you can move around alot more. I think everyone learned that once they saw Alex and Kyle tear up madd distance at Lakeland.

Re: No handers
sit downs are way easier for me....I can barely get 50 feet standing up. Now another question that comes to mind is: which is harder- no handed CIRCLES standing up or in the seat?

you can do it, but you need higher speed, higher idle (2nd gear) and therefore lower bp so you can lean your torso forward on the upper fairing, and your *** remains to stay far back...looks funny...used to do 'em but crashed the bike once in 2nd (no cage or any protection) and that was enough damage to think about doing it again...will take and send you pics when I get a new bike and armor it =)
