How many times have you wrecked 12'ing???
**** another wreck in the books! That brings my total to 3 which probably isnt that much but it still sucks. My bike is taking an *** raping. My body is worse though. I was coasting for a while then it got too wobbly to hit the brake and I ate ****. Tore some ligaments and cartilage damage. Hopefully I wont be out too long so I can try and perfect this ****. Those bitches are hard!!! My slider broke and cracked off the motor mount. Time to weld that **** together and get back on. Hopefully without busting my *** again!!!!!!!!
How many times has everyone ate **** 12'ing???????????

I can ride them high and slow its the scraping that is kicking my ***. I need to practice a little more with my brake control. I havent ridden very many four wheelers or anything that I can practice on other than my 900. I will get it down one of these days but wrecking sucks. Oh well however many times it takes I guess its worth it. STUNTING IS THE ****!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Hopefully ther are many more wrecks. But Im sure there will be. Oh well thats the price you pay to be a badass. SOmeday you will see me on here pimpin 12's like DTE, XXX, 1096, DV8, SBH,PBR,RM,SBF,GMO,XMX,WEBER,CRAZY J, **** the list goes on and on. Sorry if I forgot anyone which I know I did.

don't worry man you are on the right track. I'm not saying that this is your last 12 crash, but 3 seems to be the lucky number! I got it after my 3rd attempt, and I think Jason from Evasive actions got it after 3 crashes. I'm not sure how Nags did? 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!!

but how many times do people crash when they didnt try to scrape?!? this is what i want to know ..... Riding real high 11:30 wheelies at a nice constant speed seem to be the non crashing 12 like wheelie ....but as soon as you try to get that little extra bit....thats when people start crashing ...right??? I just wanna learn the 11:30 ones ...My LED tail is to nice to break off!

I will get it. I know I can do it but everytime my bike wobbles or something and I eat ****. I have landed smoothly before but not everytime. Hopefully I will be able to ride this weekend. Depends on how my leg feels. Maybe this time I wont eat **** and mess anything up. I will keep you posted with pics. Thanks for the support.

i think sittin is the best way-try staring at your tank too. it helps to make it higher(i don't know why) i stare at my gas cap filler thingy-just make sure the coast is clear
oh-and i wrecked once wheelin' off a curb at a circuit city-then i went into a twelve and jumped off the back and walked it-then my pipe scraped hard and sent my bike left-(crushed my stator-and i lost all my $8/qt. mobil 1)-now i run stricktly 20W50 GTX-lol

Haven got the 12's down yet but I've been over once on a cross up wheel at 60mph and then I looped one of my first wheelies. But all in all I'll start 12's next year so, I'll keep you guy's updated

Good Luck Man!!! I think that they both have there ups and downs. I did it sitting down first but it seems like standing up you have more control and are able to save it better. I guess it all depends on whats more comfortable to you. Keep us posted and let us know what happens. Hopefully I can get some practice in this weekend. Hope the leg heals quick. The weather is getting shitty quick.
