okay...wtf is this watchtower's deal????
Okay halloween weekend me and a bud are going to socal and riding w/ the socal riders....me and cam looked up their site last night and all these guys are riding on their damn headlights....
I've never seen this **** before...I'm not entirely new to this game but this trick has me all f-cked up. ...I only found like 2 threads here, from last year, on it.
www.socalriders.com
so I say to myself...."hmmmmmmmmm" next thing you know I'm scraping along trying to climb my dumbass up on my goddamn headlight and sure enough my bike died and my *** fell the hell over!
Anyone got and vid of this in action? I need to see this....I know "bar tricks" are "lame" now but damn this thing seems hard as hell.
only times I've crashed was when I learned circles. here I am crashing all over my damn self trying to sit on my headlight. what the hell...is it hard or am I retarded..or both?

............Ed did it in Texas. He parked it on the bar and then in 1 lunge, jumped onto the top of the bike. it is pretty dang cool in person.I can do it when it's sitting.............but moving-that's a whole different story. lol It won sickest trick for sure.

At the texas show I saw Ed bangin on his bar with a hammer at his or somebodys homebase then put it on the bar and jump up there.. I was thinkin.. I know he isnt gonna do that in the comp. Sure enough, he did but while moving. My jaw was on the ground.

Ed and Dustin are the first people I saw do it at the WBBF event in Los Angeles on May 11, 2003. Since then, many southern cali riders are doin it...and YES, ALL ARE MOVING!
Dustin even does it sitting backwards!

are you guys on really flat roads? my roads are horrible here so it takes all i can to keep it balanced while i'm parking without jumping around on the bike. how do you get the bike to balance and stay running? mine lurches if i take my hand off the throttle whie i'm dragging and i have the idle set to 4500. it's also hell to balance but my bar is perfectly strait (sits damn stable on good flat ground)
