good job....

here's my question though, how good is your slow stuff? can you ride slow controlled stuff or are you just clutching it, hitting the bar and coming down?

it's much safer to work on slow stuff before scraping, i wish i would have, i would have had less crashes. if you learn to control the brake more scraping is easy and you are control, not wild.

not to harp or anything, just trying to give you my thoughts and how to keep you from crashing a lot.

I think everyone can agree that it's an awesome feeling the first time you scrape that tail and ride away. Congrats.

Jay Carnes will become famous soon enough
I remember the 1st time I did. I refused to put a 12 bar on UNTIL I could tap the tail. I remember like it was yesterday the smooth scrape & the nice yellow mark it left on the pavement from my tail.

brings a tear to my eye.

Regstunts is a decent person
Can't wait myself - 12's are PIMP.

I just can't wait to pull in the local spot where all the full-leather, knee carvers hang out, and park it at high-noon.
