How Do You Stop This Thing?>!

yeah ski, I've been riding about 15yrs. but been doing stunts for the last year, I don't have any more pics of anything, since I wrecked a couple of weeks ago, It'll probably be another month before I get the bike back together, but mY repetoire consist of wheelies (stand up and seated), Jesus christ (standing on seat), stoppies, and I just got skiing on the side, right before the wreck. Oh and burn outs too, on and off the bike.

 

[skibum91]

cool man, sounds like your getting there. I'm getting my stunt bike together and will be working on the real low speed stuff.

 

[1ktime]

ya gotta change your gearing for that, but i think slow slow wheelies are much cooler.

 

[skibum91]

yea, I'm putting dirtbike bars on my bike. already have a cage welded up and 12 bar mounted up too.

 

[1ktime]

what size bike is that stunt bike, not a 1000, huh?

 

[skibum91]

no its only a 750, but still should be fine.

 

[1ktime]

definaely, 750's are bad ass. more than enough.

 

[skibum91]

its been my streetbike for a year, race bike for 2 years and now a stunt bike, its treated my right.

do you have a throttle lock of some kind. I was learning how to ski, before my stupididty set in, I was wanting to be able to ski behind the bike, not just on the side, but I would need to lock the throttle.

 

[skibum91]

you can turn up your idle really high and that will give you enough speed, but i found a throttle lock one time that was sick, it was a bar end that compressed into the throttle to lock it. rather cool design, i'll have to try and find it again.

let it bump along in 3rd or so?

 

[skibum91]

what ever gear you can get it to stay abour 25-30 in would be good, maybe a tad bit faster, that why you have centrifigul force keeping the bike up.

 

[1ktime]

good, thanks, what I used to do was ski it to a stop then burn out around to park it, but I wanted to ski behind like a ghost rider than jump back on over the back. when I get it back together I'll give it a try

 

[skibum91]

sounds good man, learn how to steer it from the rear first, try sitting on the rear seat while coasting and steer the bike around, get a feel for that and it should help.

 

[1ktime]

roger, good advice, I've skiied around u-turns and stuff from the side, but I was just expecting to go straight (haha, go straight) from the back

 

[skibum91]

yea, I've learned that if you just barely shift your weight on the rear it dramatically moves the front because there is hardly any weight on the front wheel.
