Ok I was clownin in a bar parking lot by my house on my 250 quad racer with no back brakes I thought I had throttle control down well I was being cocky and decided to to 12 and scrape then put it down right before them well I couldn't get it back down. I was aimed at the picture window so I was running and Jumping kneeing the tank to get it down finnally got it down about 12 inches from the Brick building. Slamed the wall went over the bars something caught my pants ripped them off. I went through the Picture window. Landed head down *** up on the bar wall about 20 feet into the bar!Slid down the wall like a cartoon. Got up trying to pull up my pants that were beyond repair PPL were Trippin I was Trying to Act cool and play it off say Oh no worries do it all the time no biggie LOL

Don't worry though, I don't think anyone can learn 12s without crashing here and there, the trick is not to scrape but to keep your bike together long enough to get-her-done:D !!!!! Heal well and keep us posted on your progress!!

loop once during bike week
when u say stand ups, do u mean regular or left foot rear peg
here we go
if u learn them sittin down, u will have all other styles with ease
if u learn them left foot rear peg, ur gonna have to 'learn' the sit down, and 'learn' the regular standup....rather than just blazin them out

Heres a pic before I wrecked one of the times. I was in control until I came down. I had a blown seft side fork seal and it landed on that side and washed out. Looked good until then.

rick , i just checked out your guys' website. got some sick pics on there. a quick question- i have a gsxr 1 and was wondering if you know or could find out what gearing brandon uses on his.
and what tire pressure seems to work best for 12's?

i dunno how many of you tail scrapin fools know this, but, if you're having trouble with brake control, put some air in your back brakes...... like how you're supposed to bleed the brakes to get all the air out? that will kill the back brakes ability to grab so hard, it will make the back brake a LOT easier to work, and it might just be the ticket you need to get your stuff up in the air, and stay...... good luck kids

last year at my first show, when all was siad and done Kyle decides everyone that hasn't scraped yet should put in twenty, and who-ever hit first and landed won... First attempt I scraped fifteen feet caught a crack and shot the bike in the air. When it landed stater cover broke top of foot.. Thirteen trys later someone scraped..They thought they one, untill Kyle says mike still has twalve chances to catch you! Someone gave up there 900 I crutched over to the bike, they put it gear for me, took my crutches, and off I went.. Needless to say the second wasn't so pretty, bike had no gearing so I dumped the clutch up up and away I went that one only went 5ft but it was gangta..
