Speaking of goals...

Ed and I were out practicing stoppies tonight... we said we're not stopping til we both hit 300ft from 150ft approach...

We both nailed it, multiple times (even hit 310 once)... and were consistantly in the 290's

Oh and our spot is measured, marked and we had someone watching our pickups to make sure they were on time.

It's nice to have someone out doing the same thing as you to push you!!!

What's everyone else rolling from a true 150ft start???

 

Yea me too but I usually have a goal of doing something new or alot better than the night before . This way I always stay fresh.

 

hell, my goal is just to learn period, hehehe I guess I really **** that bad...

 

It's getting to the point where I have to pick up a 6 pack on the way to the spot. Ride for 15 min and then start drinking.


Where's Korno when you need him

 

That I think is so important, to have people to ride with. I am consistently riding by myself, it sucks!!!

 

+1 i like to drink just enough to lose that little bit fear before i try something new. not so much to the point where i'll fall off my bike stopped with kickstand down. don't drink and drive kids.

 

hell, for the past few days, getting throttle control back after a month and a half of not riding is my goal.
and 100 ft stoppies.

 

I only drink after I ride, I would hurt myself more than I already do even with 1 beer in me.

I hear you on the loosening up thing though.

 

What happened?

 

my HB gave out (normally I don't blame the parts but I know how to SS and it looped on the HB, so.....) and I went down on my hand. the day I got the bike rideable I sprained my ankle.
6 weeks off and I lost a lot. my combos are weak and my throttle cont is crap. stoppies are decent though (for me)

 

Yep I feel ya on that, my shoulder (dislocated it a couple of times) has really slowed me down this year too. everytime I feel good enough to get out there, I ride like crap for a while. Which sucks because I set really high goals for myself everytime I go out there.

 

I get the foot ok, I have to try the jump to 50-50, boston strangler, and merk steps. after that it's either more (and harder) combos or circles.

 

i have one goal every time i ride, and that is to have fun, everynight i ride i do something differnet, i never plan what im gonna do, just what ever comes that session is what i do. Or whatever i feel like practicing, and i realized when i start getting frustrated with something i its because im not havein any fun., i also learn something new almost everynight, even its something small like kane said :YEAH

 

good talk billy! haha im like that, but i just try to perfect a trick or start a new one every weekend

 

my goal is to actually ride at least once a week....

 

Amen!!!!
