Re: Help a Young Squid Out?
Dude im in the exact same position you are....just learning right now. There are a lot of killer stunt riders in my area as well as people I work with so fortunately I have great teachers. One thing I learned from them that I didn't know on my own, rev it up a lot higher when dumpin the clutch. Clutch up to balance point dont try to chase it. Just some advice.

Re: Help a Young Squid Out?
Hey all thanks for all the words

Starting to get closer to BP with my staggered position, still workin on it. But yea i tossed up a post in the regional riders forum or w/e that thing is but no luck so far, anyone know of any Cali Stunting riders? Around the central valley/fresno area?

How is an 08 gsxr bad for the body? The K8 and K9 are notorious for being some of the most comfortable bikes you can street.

Re: Help a Young Squid Out?
no i dont have a HB yet : / i was thinking to get that after a cage, cause with a cage i could at least start trying to slow it down and just stagger it for now and cover the foot rear? Sick innovations eh? I just read a thread about the Impaktech, lotta people are saying theyre the best and are shipped by far the fastest?

the brake thing is a toss up, if found getting to bp and steering (circles) wheelies was easiest doing seat stander, also allows you to stand on the bike rather than leaning back and holding by your arms. you can get a adapter and have a hand brake too but then it starts to add up. (i only have a hadbrake). but if your good with toe brake control using a handbrake will b much easier. if you have a bmx bike do manuals on the back pegs and practice with the rear brake ( this is how i got into stunting, ultimate hand brake learning tool)
