seems like a lot of the new riders are starting out with the slow stuff..
I think highchairs are easier, because you don't have to concentrate on holding on as much

I started *** backwards - it sucked. could scrape tail but not do a tank wheelie. had to learn that **** last - but its all good. the engine brake tricks are way funner to do.

Oh yeah, spreaders are way more nasty if you do them right.

Re: highchair-vs-spreaders
high chairs are easier to me. They are more stable feeling, I can grip onto the shield. I'm in a more comfortable position.
when learning spreaders it was kind of awkward. I would grip the tank with my legs when learning spreaders, then once you get the feel and the idea, wip the legs out.
everybody is diff.

I ditched the -2, just +20 now. You aint touching first gear on the highway on my bike, 2nd gear is pushing in too. Besides, you rode it, it's entirely too touchy. I don't have the valve in my exhaust hooked up either, loses a bunch of the engine brake like that, it's weird.

well, i do it on the highway first gear but i'm not going highway speed.....it's about 35-40 at 11 grand in first. so street speed not highway. i don't like doing balanced spreaders any faster than 40 really....they get sketchy.
