sweet!!!
no, don't get a bar until you can scrape the tail. a tail is forgiving, a bar is not! and if your going for scraping cut your pipe down or get a shorty. other than that just practice paractice practice.
a56k - a bar may keep you from going over but if your not ready for it and/or hit it crooked you will go for a wild ride. ask around, the concenses is the same, just trying to help.

Thanks dude it means alot when someone who is more experienced than me encourages me,
. I got that vid of you that you posted a while back and it's just one of the vids that hypes me up, thanks!Yeah I already know not to get a 12 bar yet because I want to slow my wheelies down ALOT. Since I got the knack of snapping them up quick I have been bringing them up slow but I wind up riding them out to like 40mph. I just bring it down everytime because I want to ride them slow, you know work my way down from like 30 to 20 to 10mph...
Only time will tell... hey besides I got that sweet *** fender to fug up before I scrape the tail,
. Don't ask why I haven't cut it I just left it there since I bought the bike...Thanks guys it really means alot!

I know how it is when you are trying something but if you see someone else do it it just gives you that adrenaline to really do it yourself.
I'm taking it easy, I'm in no rush I just want to be good not necessarily be in shows or anything, I just want to say "yeah I am into stunting" when this sport blows up!

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! Yup I do need more practice, I haven't been out in like 5 days, my wrists hurt, I hope I'm not getting carpal tunnel syndrome... that would suck so I'm taking it easy...
