OK.... first of all, I'm not mentioning names, and this isn't meant to be a dig at anybody. But, last weekend, I had a conversation that I thought was surprising. I was talking to a friend who can do slow wheelies, but not fast, e-way stuff.

I guess, that would make more sense, to learn that way. Safer too, obviously... but I just never knew anybody had slow, before they had fast..

 

my slow **** isnt all that slow, but it aint fast. definately not highway

 

take a poll of people who started stunt riding on a 50

 

if you can do slow, fast is easy

 

Starting to get the fast ones. I'm pretty sure I'm the guy he's talking about. I learned to 12 before I could do a decent high speed wheelie.

 

it seems like a lot of the new riders these days are starting off with the slow stuff, which I think is really good. They learn brake control right off the bat and they don't have that fear of being past balance point. I started stunting back in 01 and back then everything was fast. When 12o'clocks came around it was tough at first to get over the height thing and it was also tough to learn the brake. I've noticed a lot of fiddy riders and bmx'ers pick up the slow stuff pretty fast.

 

i could scrape before i could do a decent highway wheelie.

 

I didn't mean to call you out! I wish I had slow stuff like you. I just found it interesting..

PS. I hit the bar today. Then I crashed...
