why make it so far back, the bp is alot lower...how do you plan on getting going fast enough on the bar to bring it back down...i think it should be back just a little further past the bp

That's true, I plan on using my rear brake to get on it, scrape for a second, and bring it back.
i would build it like that, but then it'd won't stand by it's self at 12, and it won't be real 12. i might try it like that for kicks though

though true, i don't wanna be discounted cause it's a "11:45 bar"
i'll give it a shot once the weather warms up though.
