Re: Tank spreaders?

yeah definately just dent the one on it now ,throw on some grip tape, when I started doin spreaders like 5 yrs ago we didnt have any cages,bars ,handbrakes,big sprockets ,or dented tanks ,I used to just hop up there and clutch it up, same thing now but by adding the basics you gain more confidence and step it up.. good luck

Re: Tank spreaders?

Well, the same friend and I started trying them again yesterday. We both improved a lot. Rideing slow in first, then clutching them, is working great! If mine look anything like my buddies then I'm doing good. I had one close call where I pulled it up and it tried to fall to my left but I set it down ok. I just got a the charger for my camera so I'm gunna make a short video within the next couple weeks, hopfully no bad wrecks in the meantime.

I haven't really thought about doing the highchairs. I'll try to just roll one and see how it feels sitting like that.


I actually just went out and sat on the bike in the highchair. I think I really need to dent my tank in for that one. I also don't really like putting all that weight on my wind sheild.
All there is to it, is just sit on the tank with your legs over the front right? Any tips for that one? I'm probably not going to do it, but I'd like to know how just in case.

I'd be very awkward sitting like that with the way my bike is set up now.

Re: Tank spreaders?

if your having a hard time lifting it up sitting on the tank you must not be clutching it up.

Are you afraid to hurt your bike? If that is at all in your head forget about getting better, you have to let that go it will hinder your progress I promise you!!!
