Angry 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?

If your talking about climbing up on the top of the bike while it's parked on 12 bar, I'm pretty sure this done at a stop...

heh, yah I think you're on something the only time I've seen anyone do this, is on a parked bike

(then again, I wouldn't rule it out as IM-possible, or that no one has done it)

It's moving....I have seen it in person at the Tx show. I already for got the guys name but I think it was Ed. Both him and his teamate (Dustin) can do it. It looks pretty damn pimp in person.

look at the cover of Super Streetbike. Then look on page 38. They say the bike is moving.

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)
