    Stoppies. My new best friend

    Well it has been one thing that i have always had trouble getting the hang off, but now after a quick session with Kevmo7 (who offered a few "how to"pointers) and the use of a private road and a controled enviroment (of course) I am now starting to get the rear wheel in the air and also rolling for a while.......probably not the most exciting preformance to watch but it's feeling great from where i'm sitting, so with some more practise I think i might get it down.....someday

    Big ups to Kevmo7.........Thanks bro.

    Perception is indeed a dangerous thing, I mean we voted in a woman Prime Minister only to find out "it" had bigger cojones than us and sang the "solidarity brothers" song with a forked tongue Pollies............

    Caution is not a substitute for skill :no

    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    Slightly forward your body weight to the front. Put your weight onto the front suspention and the front wheel. That may stop the front wheel from skidding...


    Maybe... lol


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
