it happened yester day i cant roll stoppies for nothing i just got done replacing my fork seals on my gixer1k and some hh brake pads i think thats what they were and i dont know if its me or what at first they were real bad then i turned the adjustment out 8 clicks and i got my height back but im just not rolling them verry far when we tightened up the tripple trees we let everything just hang, so i think i might go back to the stock pads, but first i guess ill just give it a lil time to get used too. anyone else got some thoughts on this?

yeah i remember from the bmx days id be fine one day doing anything i wanted to, then the next totally suck. You know how to like every stunt theres that little trick that when u find out what it is ur like "how could i not understand it sooner". a lot of times i forget to do that little part and totally suck. but ya im sure we all have our bad days its just human

for me its been a bad summer for every good day i have like 10 bad ''sucks '' but i have a had a lot of personal **** to deal with this year and i think that might have something to do with my riding b/c there allways something on my mind but then againg maybe i lost my edge, but the love for doing it is still there and its all i think about ,but then come time to ride its a diff story its like im worred about crashing or its like the bike feels like it wont do what i want it to do ,the worst part is some of the tricks i use to pull off i cant even get then now days ..... so i thought i would ask if any one else had a bad year or anything like this happend to them so i know i am not looseing it

Try not riding for a yr b/c a tear in your ACL and refusing surgery.

I was cream of the crop back then, now cant even do no handers or circles


of course I havent stunted lately either... but have gotten back on the streets which I love.

take a week or two off, you might just be tired....believe it or not...

sometimes short breaks help because you stop doing errors you may have recently picked up.

sometimes you have to push yourself to learn something new, that helps create momentum. It seemed like for a while I was stuck at the same place, and then I learned something new....which in turn gave me the drive to learn a bunch of new things...sometimes you need that excitement or energy so you don't get stuck in a rut. Push yourself to do something new, but at the same time ride within your limits.

Yup, I'll Ride For Awhile And Get Back To Normal. Then I Won't Ride For Like A Month, So When I Get Back Out I Have To Start All Over Again.

you got steal graided lines? i had them and hated them. i love the hh pads. they do grab harder once they are hot though, i adjusted my brake lever so it doesnt grab so far off the bar. i think gsxr's have the same levers, numbered 1 to 5. i was on the farthest setting with stock pads(5). im on #2 with the double h's. leaves more room for error and they are not as touchy once your up at the balance point and are just skimming the pads.
