I will be ending my first year of riding and yeah I have the basic sit downs and stand ups and ive found my B/P i have a 06 Gixxer, caged, One down in the front and 17 up in the back for sprockets....THis winter i wanna get my 12 bar on and im thinking, Should i start learning the handbrake? Ive overcome the CHOPPY throttle and im pretty confident in my wheelies, Ive started Doing spreader wheelies and im looking to start doing 50/50's and crossed up wheelies....... I dont wanna have people talking **** to me for things.. but i just wanna know? Im 100% looking to stunt and thats all i do...Ive learned ALOT! my first year and im REALLY ?determind? to progress fast!

Nope...i just wanted to be sure of my self with the basics, Once i slap the bar on ill start trying to Coast wheelies and for sure start scraping it, But i just wanna learn the handbrake ASAP. i know im still learning but i wanna get started on learning the feel of the handbrake, I came on this site looking for any info possible Thank you...

Ic ... I also started swtiching each foot back to my rear pegs, each foot then both then also Seat standers.. but while on the seat it just comes up so ****ing easy and i cant get that B/P and i wanna bring it back further and further to hit 12 bar... Wont the handbrake help slow me WAY down and also smooth out my wheelies? = WAY MORE CONFIDENCE?

if you think it will help you then get it. if you dont you are going to limit your learning b/c you will always be thinking "do i need a HB". if you have brake and throttle control down learning the HB wont be a problem.

Re: DO i need handbrake yet?
me n my homie had this debate for days, he got a hb, and i stayed w.o one for days, till i figured out idle and coasters n scrapes n burnouts,
well he can do ss circles and merks and jumptos
and im workin on nohanders and right circles, and all the **** he learned hella kwik that i didnt.... the hb is easy to learn tho...takes a day or 2 and ull be pretty confident in it
id like to think u become a smoother rider when u fully know footbreak before handbreak its all bout seat time tho man...do it big

stunting is nothing more than a confidence game, trial and error
