loops?

Re: loops?
If you take it slow, be carefull, and cover the rearbrake: you shouldnt have to loop to find balance point. FYI I looped ONCE before I found it, but only because I didnt cover the rearbrake

Re: loops?
twice. First time was on 650 enduro, was doing wheelies at some field. Had lot of trouble to get it up, because rear wheel was not getting traction. So I gave it more and more untill I came up so fast I looped it.
Second time was on 954. I was rolling staggered stance ~20mph at first, I slowed it down against the brake and thought "damn, this is slowing down nicely" Next thing I noticed that I was rolling on the street and bike pancaked. Still don't know what happened. Maybe I hit the exhaust or something.?(front rim bent , cage bent, rear fairing busted, tail light gone. Exhaust scraped. Broke rear foot peg too.) Sometimes I have been thinking that maybe the rear foot peg broke and I falled off because of that. Who knows? **** happens.

Re: loops?
I looped friday (9/9) slow wheelie...I 12ed for the first time and got about 5 more from standstill to scraping and then Crashed on the last one...It doesn't hurt at low speeds and I didn't even get cut or rash...really not that big of a deal! IMHO. Back on this week once I fix my clip on!
