1st gear clutch ups. Back woods, country road, hardly any cars. Took 3 seasons to get here. First season, didn't even attempt them, 2nd season, I just did small bunny hops getting use to the front end coming up. 4th season I plan to start to do 2nd gear and staggered.

Sweet! The cameraman's cell phone has the same tones as mine ... made me check mine thinking I had a message. I didn't. Then again I gotta have friends to get messages.

 

[rainking12]

Yeah, we both have razors and mine goes off all the time and I keep checking my phone the first few times i watched it.

It did, that is why I stopped after that, lol. My left foot fell off the peg. Not sure if i was expecting to fall off so i instinctively putting my foot down to prepare for the fall or if my foot slipped off the peg.

nice work! it's all about the clutch.
mine didnt get good until i started doing them staggered. i still cant do a decent sit down.

When you do them staggered, do you get in position before you clutch it? Just feels weird so I stopped trying.

yes, def get set up first. it's going to feel weird until you hammer out a few, then it becomes oh so nice.

One of them you rode out pretty good! Gotta get to that Balance point though, your close but not there! BP is friggin weird ...feels like the 360lb bike weighs nothing.

 

[rainking12]

1st or 2nd?

 

[uuc328]

...feels like the 430lb bike weighs nothing.

fixed

 

[meangreen7r]

nice job bro. i have popped em up just for a sec. i'm still too nervous to try to ride them out. maybe next season i'll get up the nerve.

 

[JiMpiSh]

what the hell is all this talk of staggered wheelies?? what am i missing... i know clutching, i know poweredup, i know bouncies... can someone fill me in on staggered?

 

[rainking12]

Left foot on passenger peg and right foot on right peg covering the rear brake.

 

[Mike_Diako]

i always feel as if i am going to smash myself into the ground when i wheelie. thats why i dont do them lol.

ahhh.... word, thank you... i ride with a guy every now and then that rocks em like that... seems a bit odd to me... i can imagine you'd get a bit more leverage though... any other advantages to doing them like this? are we talkin clutched up, powered up, bounced, or any/all of the above??

 

[rainking12]

Yeah, tried staggered and it feels weird. Didn't get it that high though.

Nice wheelies, I clutch first up from time to time but I tend to go a lil bit slower from a start, once it gets past 20 mph you start to hit the powerband and cluthing from there gets torquey lol. I noticed that couple of times in your vid. I would suggest just moving on to second with the staggered stand-ups, start from 25 mph bounce and clutch, it will come up. Once you get the stand-ups down to finding BP, doing the sitdowns you will find yourself coming up higher because you have a sense of what the bike feels like when you hit BP, weightless! lol

 

[FSRbikr98]

Damn i wish i could do that. over 5k miles later and i still cant get the balls to bring the front up. Once or twice i powered it up but clutching i cant get the nerve to do it.
