Re: i dont understand....
i want smooth, unwobbled wheelies too. i like to chop wood like a lumberjack on crack. i think i'll drop some more pressure, then go faster and slow them down instead trying go to slow from the jump off. r u staggered or sd or something else?

Re: i dont understand....
clutch it up hard and catch it with the rear brake. keep your throttle hand locked with enough throttle to loop out if your not on the brake. then use the brake to control the height of the wheelie. that will get rid of the side to side action. eventually you will smooth out the throttle and brake to where you wont have to be on either very much im going back to lurking now i really gotta quit wake-n-baking.

Re: i dont understand....
That was a freak accident and could have happened at a race track just as easily. I could argue my point all day long and the fact is ONE i'm right this sport has turned too safe, and two anyone that argues my point shows they don't know what things were like before all the easy buttons came. So argue all you want with me, your only making yourself look bad.
But i will argue the fact that their are tricks that require the use of a handbrake. and if you dont have one you are only holding yourself back. If you go to a competition do they give you points for not being able to do the latest tricks? thats a serious question, would judges give you points because you don't rock a handbrake and its harder? or would they say your behind the learning curve as far as tricks go?
I give you props for your gangster style though.

Re: i dont understand....
i see what your saying bro and i agree with you about what you are saying about noobs and handbrakes. I do know about **** before the easy button. I learned foot brake before i ever touched my handbrake. I just think that saying this sport is "safe" is the wrong wording, maybe should have said "safer than before" I also agree that you should know how to use engine brake. And i misunderstood the intent of the thread to begin with.

and if you are just starting out when you put your hand brake on dont forget to put it ontop of the clutch ..... not under it.....
hb on top for life

This sport is lame... it was beter off a bunch of holigans killin the streets[/quote]
I agree It's so repative and predictable now it's crazy. I've been to lot's of spots in lots of towns and you just see the same **** over and over and over. I think it's almost cool again to see somebody rocking a sick old school stand up on an empty street than watching a spot now. I'm not an og but I like the old videos to so idk.
