1. what ever grips for you; the race tires are narrow and harder to control (heard that never used them)
2. i run 25 or about that
3. old bike had bent lip on rim and would only hold 25psi before it started to leak. bike i have now has good rim and feels no different.
4. use your body weight.
5. high speed + high endo = long
low speed + low endo = very short
6. stock pads with SS brake lines
i think findwhat you like and stay with it dont switch all the time

1. i have used race and street (race you have to warm up) street you dont.
2. i run at about 30-35
3. never tried one on a bent rim
4. use your body to steer
5. alot and high there is a balance point up there too
6. i used ebc hh they sucked for stunting they brake fad real bad, i now use stock pads a ss brake lines.

good luck and keep practicing

find a flat road. Runnin over 100 ft'ers can't be done with a crowned road at all. At least when I try to do 25's I can barely do those. Flat paved road, go on forever.

my rotors are warped

i'm running a michelen pilot race tire.
ss. lines..
i kept goin through the ebc hh pads and just put stock honda's on. yesterday i was riding my bike with no fairings and looked down at my tire. my rotors are warped. i am assuming that coupled with a taco=ed rim is why my stoppies go to **** after 100 ft.

too much loot to fix now, guess i'm back to crashin 12's

I love how you guys are talking about 100 ft'ers like they are no problem.

I'm psyched with my 30's or 40's if I'm lucky.
