Watch trickshows "day 3" vid at youtube . within 13 days he was bringing the front end up higher . But looked choppy .

He also has someone with him who can ride good , somewhat slow , bp wheelies .

I bet he is better now . (weather permitting )

my bad! this thread is crusty. trickshows prob doin spreader circles by now.lol!


no offense beto, but i think you are overestimating this kid, he hasn't even mastered basic wheelies yet, so slow **** might get him hurt.

trickshow, welcome to bounce 101- start by getting on a back road somewhere where there's no girls to try to impress. start in second gear, rolling about 10mph, stand up, left foot on the back peg, right foot covering the brake(not just covering, use it if you get too high), bounce the whole bike(hard) a few times to get the feel for where the top of the bounce is, then when you feel comfortable with that, all in one motion, like on the third bounce, pull the clutch in on the downstroke(of the bounce), and give it throttle and release the clutch on the upstroke. it's gonna feel weird at first, like the bike wants to come out from under you so take your time. hope that helps.
