It would help save your tires and when you drop it less damage what do you guys think? or am i just being a jackass?

I would try it with the front tire planted against a wall before doing it in grass...

do it and you'll find out why.
you are gonna lowside soo damned hard and then you'll be thinking "i guess it didn't cause less damage"
buy race take offs on ebay and just burn your **** off. They aren't that hard, but just take time. Don't start stationary like some guys tell you, start by rolling like 5-10 mph and stand up and lean way forward (nuts on tank) then slowly grab some front brake to take weight off the rear and when you do that you have to grab the clutch and dump it (well, feather it out like you are doing a burnout) and then once the tire starts spinning hold about 5-6k rpms, any faster and it gets slippery, any slower and it gets too sticky. Use the brake pressure to adjust your speed, you want to keep rolling about 5mph or so, if you get slow it gets unstable and more hard to control.
It'll take a while to get used to how much brake and rpms to get hte rear broken loose, but once you get it, it's a piece of cake. Then you work on donuts, which are just the same except you just put more weight on one peg and then that causes it to turn.

You'd have to be doing them with little to no front brake to keep it from locking up in the front and dumping, which would mean you'd have to be really damn good at them first anyways.....
the rear would prolly slide around really easily too, again requiring good control over them in first place too...
****, then again, I've never tried that **** in the grass! So, I'm talking out my ***!!!
Try it !!!!

i guess everyone is different i remember trying it in the grass a few times just to get the feeling and then Bam i did it the first time i tried it.
binder929rr is correct on how to do them, take his advice...
note:
the brake, clutch and gas should all be one even movement.

i learned them in the grass first, it helped because i learned not to put a lot of pressure on the front brake, then when i took it to the street it made it easier, and i wouldnt lock up the front brake.

try it on pavement while sitting on the tank, more weight on the front wheel. do straight lines before trying circles, then try large circles..and as yer confidence grows...tighten the circles...then do figure 8's, hop on the windscreen, eyes closed, you get the idea.

Be careful- wet grass is like ice, The front tire can wash out if it locks up, Put a hard compound tire on the back of the bike and it should break loose easily on pavement.
