Re: coasters
i can coaster for +200, i used to be able to break 400 when i rode all the time.
the trick is very very SMALL SMOOTH brake movements, you should be on the brake maybe 25% of the time.

ok what i found helped was the brake set up, i have mine massive touchy, and i just feather it. mabye half a centimetre and thats it.. longest i have done was 500 foot. but thats down a hill so i dont think that counts.
as for flat um 200 foot is a good one for me..
seriously it took me alil while to get em then one day it clicked.. i reckon i coaster me just riding around to spots with mates then i do normal wheelies
who the fk does normal wheelies any more??? i cant do normal one i get bored and take hands of start doing one handers etc. u feeling me?
:YEAH hope that helps or check my you tube sarch this... " spadastunter "
then go have a look at my other vids on my profile

Re: coasters
I've seen your vids and you're good kid.... but I've never seen anyone do a 900ft, flat ground coaster. You're gonna have to post that vid for proof.
Getting back to the topic of "how to" travel distance on the coasters. Yes, practice is key... but here are some more helpful tips: "Feather" the brakes, rather than "pulling" them. Move your shoulders forward and back by pulling and pushing "gently" on the bars. And try sliding your *** forward on the seat more than you would in a normal wheelie. I found that helps me out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53pKhNKjZJE Here is video with my new bike. Still need lil training that i can roll as far as with my old bike.
On that video pushed brake like 5 times. You dont need use brake just learn moving your body and keep the balance that way.

Re: coasters
Exactly what I was saying to the kid. I hate calling people out, but when I hear of something like 900 foot coasters on a pedal bike... on flat ground... I want to see video of it!
What's your F2 look like GundamnitPete? I had a 92' also... ended up running it into a guard rail at 65mph because I was riding way over my head through some corners. Live and learn I guess. Here's a pic of mine before I totaled it....
