. I really do not see why you need the rear brake on the street, there is so much engine brake that if you are gonna wreck a HB will not help, IMO.

Re: Handbrake Rant !!
one of the last things i have to do i guess is get a hand brake before i start to learn on my dedicated 'lot bike'
should i learn to wheelie without the hand brake first? (feels like new again since dirtbike wheelies as a kid!)
i have a really hard time getting pics to upload here.

Re: Handbrake Rant !!
I think your vagina has taken over!!!!!!!!!! I've been stunting since I was 18, I was rocking sick wheelies when I was 14 on my buddies POS FZR600..... when I started "stunting" I was 18, I started on a new minty 2000 R1.... I did the stuff because I had insane control over my bike and never would I have thought we would be putting training wheels on our bikes! What makes a good rider is being able to feel a bike and know what its going to do. My R1 is retired with 30,004 miles on it and its never touched the ground. Nah.... i cant rock mile long high chairs, but I can do them till my worn out shock starts making the bike wobble.... what scares me most is the fact that it still has the original chain, that'll make me go down before I lose control for not having a hand brake.
it sickens me to see the vaginas that are taking over this sport.

Re: Handbrake Rant !!
my boys stopped riding because they got females that chained their ***** up.......we were all riding as the sport progressed, we didnt jump into the middle of the game and push our selves to catch up with everyone else. I do have one buddy that crashes alot.... I think every group has THAT GUY...... to this day the guy still cant ride a stand up wheelie that is worth **** because he was trying to do more technical tricks before her learned the basics.
gotta learn to crawl before you can walk.

How do your worn out shockes make your bike wobble in a highchiar?
I guess not all of us can have insane control over our sick wheelies like you.

Good stuff.
I haven't done no hb highchairs since I first started stunting.
Nowhere near bp.
I know my feet are big, bring on the hate.

Re: Handbrake Rant !!
i dont think i can do 1 mile in a highchair even with my handbrake lol. umm i started riding doing spreaders ss and all that **** with no hb and it was the dumbest thing i ever did. i never ever recomend anyone that i care about do that kind of **** with no safety of a hb. riding bikes is plenty dangerous as it is, we certainly dont need to take away the few things that we have that keep us alive just to be "bad ***". thats just ignorant. i dont think its cooler that someone does off the peg wheelies with no hb, i cringe waiting for the moment when they land on their head and i have to call the ambulance and put my hand over their head thats leaking cerebral fluid.

Re: Handbrake Rant !!
LOL, that is pretty much why I dont use it. I get it up and then dont think I need it, so I never bother figuring out how to grab the damn thing. Of course, I have never used the rear foot brake either, so I guess I am just rear brake retarded . I really do not see why you need the rear brake on the street, there is so much engine brake that if you are gonna wreck a HB will not help, IMO.

Re: Handbrake Rant !!
Thats exactly my point. Before the pussies and posers would be quickly weeded out because they would realise they have no real tallent, wad their **** and cry to mommy and never be seen or heard from again. PERFECT ! Before you couldnt go out in one day and learn to highchair just like that. It took time, it scared the **** out of you and when you got it, it was actually a rewarding feeling like you did something great. If its easy why do it ? Would you go see a Freestyle moto x show if they were attached to strings or some **** so they couldnt **** up ? NO ! would the pussies love the strings ? YES ! then that sport would be filled with people like kelm too and it would be on right after hanna montanna too but its not because thats a do or die sport where everyone has ***** and lays it out everytime they ride. I just dont expect to see this sport ever make it to the x games just because its too safe now. With the exeption of long endo's.
