ill have to agree with him on that...FHLs first helpful post lol...back to the matter at hand, saying you have 5 blocks 10 blocks or even a 100 blocks is stupid, if you have to measure your wheelies then you dont have blocks...saying you have blocks means you can go until boredom sets in...personally i think its stupid to sit and measure how many city blocks you can do b/c thats not the reason that was come up with



oh yeah and in texas blocks is for little boys, we run counties *****

They're not real "slow" wheelies, like 10mph in first gear balanced.. no brake. I've crashed once because of it though, took it too far back and lost my balance side to side.

I think there are different ways of stunting, and not all stunters choose to only ride slow wheelies. I like doing highway seat standers at 80 MPH, and other chit like that. I feel very in control at high speeds, and I know there is not as much engine breaking. Does this make it wrong? I dont think so, I think I just like fast wheelies. I can even slow my bike down in 3rd gear without even using the back break, so there must be SOME engine breaking.

Re: Got Blox?
I dunno about you but my bike will hit 80 in first. Then it's just a matter of balancing it real quick, rocking it back behind BP, and gradually slowing it down.

u run out of engine brake eventually, u can slow **** down to a point without the brake but then to ride slow on throttle only u have to be balance cuz u will flip. c'mon people this not that difficult!!!

You can bring it up at 10 mph and as you ride you would speed up without either balancing it 100% or using the brake. As you say you can't use brake very well it means you can't balance it either so how do you ride 5 blocks on 10mph??? not shitting just asking...

This is an NYC quotable, if not mistaken, claimed by Wink 1100 when he was rockin out back in the early 90's. This was way before many of you and even I were rockin out.

P.S. We got exits up here now kid, til our wrists fall off, or motors blow up.

Keep it clean fellas, no hate here, just making a statement.
