Practice stunt riding

Thursday will prob work for me bro... We should hit the strip we did last time... That spot was pretty legit for 30-45 mins lol
 
Have fun in Mexico bro... Hit me up when your back on 2 wheels
 
This Saturday Fremont

Sat in femont me and a buddy will be out there... Let me know if your down il give u my cell and I'll let you know what's up
 
am also in need of some pointers as to ride them out i can pop it in 1st no prob
sometimes in second gear i get it floating for a while yet they come down more often then i want guess i may have to keep the throttle on heeellp :teeth
 
Wish I had time to meet with you guys to help. I learned wheelies with -1 +2 myself. If you are smooth on throttle the wind ends up keeping the wheelie up...I never had to cover brake because never got close to looping it. I learned by bouncing it in second gear...hit throttle...push down as you release throttle and pull up as you nail the throttle. Then snapped it into 3rd gear becuase second would be reving too high at that point. To shift while in wheelie you just let off throttle and shift no clutch needed. That is how I learned to wheelie. Once in third wind and speed holds up the wheelie. Nowadays yes I would say cover rear break but when I learned no one was covering brakek or doing 12 oclocks yet...so it is possible to learn to wheelie and shift through all gears without covering rear brake. So obviously everyone has there own way of learning. Don't force anything...with practice if it does not feel natural then I would stop the attempt. Practice is key...and I do believe some people are just not meant to wheelie so do not force it. I was shifting through 5 gears through wheelies without covering rear brake for miles back in day. It never felt dangerous.
 
anyone close to livermore willing to help with 2nd gear wheelies? i can ride out 1st every time but i can barely get it off the ground in 2nd
 
Try stand ups on rear pegs.... I learned this weeks back and now I can float it for miles in second gear...
 
I heard of the place in Fremont, but I've never been there. I'm down to hit it up. Let me know.

I agree with t4r4life... Alameda is pretty laxed on that as long as your not running into someones property. the navy base has plenty of places and space for you to do so.

A buddy and I hit up the "alameda naval air station" today and was told by security patrol "you can't ride in the parking lots, only in the streets"... First 5 mins.

FYI: In the street you may get tag by Alameda police dept for Reckless driving.:thumbdown
 
Every rider is different, every bike is different, just my 2 cents.

No stunt cage, sprocket is +2,-1

Not sure if -1 front and +2 rear is a major gain. It's the best for a Stock chain.:2cents

"According to SR:
What gearing is right for me?
+5 – Provides a good place to start for anybody looking to get a little more into the stunts without sacrificing street riding or too much top speed. Will gain some torque/acceleration while losing roughly 10% of top speed.

+10 - Provides good amounts of power for slower wheelies while still having decent street riding. Will gain good torque/acceleration while losing roughly 20% of top speed.
+15 – Provides great power for technical slow wheelies. Street riding will be reduced to moderation in the city limits. No highways. Will gain great torque/acceleration while losing roughly 30% of top speed.
+20 - Provides huge power for anything and everything technical. Street riding will be reduced to just parking lots. Not for beginners. Will gain huge torque/acceleration while losing roughly 40% of top speed.
+25 or bigger – Ridiculous… but fun. Go big.:shocker"


You can learn on wheelies with your setup. I would roll at 15-20mph and pop the clutch with +4.5k rpm:2cents. And keep riding them pass that "holy fck" point. Keep your weight in the back is the key.
 
I went up 7 on my first stunt sprocket and learned everything from seat standers to circles, and was still able to commute at 80mph fine.
