sweet, thanks for all these tips. I'm going to try again tonight and at our show.
about the bar, we set the bar up so when it's parked on 12 it's fully 12. The bar is made awsome, just ask CBO, he did like 3 hours of 12's on my bar the first day i had it on. He said it works great, i just suck at parking it so far so i needed tips.
thanks again guys

well.....practicing for my show tomorrow, i just crashed hard. I got it on video and will put it up tomorrow.
i was doing some 2nd gear wheelies...just slowing htem down, then getting ready to touch. No problem, same as usual, but this time i'm rolling i hit the balance point and start slowing down, i'm doign maybe 15-20, i get squared up to touch down with the bar and then BAM, i hit a crack or something in the road, the bike wobbles and i didn't want to try to save it so i threw it forward to try to keep from crashing hard 12 and i went off the back, i flew for about 30 yards rolling and i hit a curb and the bike landed on the side and boucned up, jumped the curb then smashed into a building.
I think my left foot is broken, wrist is sprained, a TON of road rash on my knees and my back is messed up from hitting the curb. The front rim is demolished in 2 places but i'm going to try to beat it out. My cage is somehwat ok, it held and the grade 5 bolt bent and it also cracked the motor mount part i drilled threw (i knew that would happen). all in all it sucks but i'm doing ok. i gotta go fix the bike now.

haha, well, i fixed the rim. I'm gonna ride tomorrow despite the sprained wrist and broken bones in my foot. I think i'll be ok for a couple stunts.
anywyas, ya, i try my hardest, i don't push too hard, this was a simple trick that i've been doing and slowly working into, i just got a bad spot in the road and couldn't help it. I guess when you put about 4 hours of hard riding a night into it you are going to have an accident sooner or later. i haven't wrecked in a month though so i guess that's good.
