Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

spreaders are gangsta if you get back on your tailbone and throw your legs way out. Highchair scrapes are pimp as hell too.

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

I can't do either... but personally I think that spreaders look cooler. Especially if you do them e-dub style or like teach. Gotta get them high! Then it's just pimp! Highchairs look pretty cool too. And from the sounds of it are harder. But as a spectator to tank wheelies, I find a good old spreader/heal clicker to be rather amusing.

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

I learned highchairs first. Easier for me because it was easier to hang on. Took me a long time to get spreaders, especially to get them my style.

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

im learning spreaders, i dont find them that hard, ive been riding for such a short period of time so i cant really roll them out ****, i cant even do 150+ ft in a wheelie yet but im tryin to get a feel for eveyrhting early, i have brought one spreader up to the BP but scared myself and slid off the tank heh. Havnt got the ***** to do a high chair yet, i feel thats just hangin it all out there.

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

i feel u have more control with spreaders highchairs still make my neck hair stand up i think there alot finner but if you can do a sick as spread like e-dub then i'd have to say spreaders same with 50-50 it's all about how well you can do the splits

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

highchairs are riskier cause the way you land if you loop, i know cause i looped one...but if hte bike shuts off.....like it did in my spreader, you are ****ed all around.

i think spreaders are harder to get GOOD...anyone can throw legs out there, but to get htem high and hold them up takes practice. and if you can see over hte front of the bike doing either of them you aren't gettin the bike tall enough.

agreed !

on highway it dont matter...but parking lot like first gear, i wont lie, its a little assurance, cause i can rockhighchairs so high, and neve worry about flipping cause i can scrape them,s o i know i can just clutch out of it...
no bar def changed it up a bit

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

Spreaders all the way....Spreaders are harder to get to look right. Took me a while to get the style down. BUT, if the spreader is not done right, I think that a highchair looks better.

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders

Spreaders look nastier (when done correctly - nasty height with legs OUT) - highchairs are harder to do IMO
