Hi There everybody,

Just letting everyone that is willing to learn how to do wheelies or stoppies at whatever skill level (Wanting to learn to get confortable with the front wheel off the ground or wanting to get into brake control)whatever the case that im gonna start giving stunt lessons.

Ive done a few on and off from time to time, the guys i was teaching seemed to love it, so i thought i might try help a few more people out!

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=62638

What my lessons will include at a glance:

- I will teach you how to do wheelies or stoppies (at any skill level) better and safer.

- Its all done at our secret stunt spot, so its in a safe and controlled area.

- I charge $100 a night.

- Will run through everything step by step, the worst thing to do when learning wheelies or stoppies is to rush things.

- Will be a one on one lesson, with nobody else watching (Most of the time :innocent:)

Its very hard to learn to wheelie from somebody just telling you or reading something, you really have to have somebody to show you how its done in person and point out what your doing right and what your doing wrong, there are alot of factors to doing wheelies and stoppies that alot of people dont realise.

I will teach you all of these things from Body Position to Throttle Control.

If you are interested give me a PM

Cheers

Kevin

yeah its kinda hard with blown fork seals leaking oil onto your front brakes, i blew both fork seals at the start of the show, so my brakes kept on getting worse and worse, after market seals just cant hold up to stunting :pinch:

My bike goes into Honda on wednesday and they are gonna redo the whole front end, ill be rolling them soon enough hahaha :cool:

$100 is a bit steep dude, dont think you'll get to many people taking it up at the price.

Perhaps a free first lesson, and then $25 an hour after that.

well considering at a night session im normally there for about 4 hours, so it works out to be the same dude...

$100? Sounds fair... That includes a BJ right?

Didn't know you fancied him :laugh:

$100 is reasonable for such expert tuition but if you are using your own bike, the cost could be a lot more.

Once I can afford the trip to Auckland, should be able to afford that :D

Pretty keen to see some mates up there, might save a bit more for this. So long as you'll still be doing this in a couple of months time. I've been trying my darnest but I can't get past 10cm off the ground. Stoppies aren't too bad, when my brakes used to work properly.

We could get a lot of action, one-on-one, in four hours...

:buggerd:

But seriously, 17yo boys aint my thing...

It sounds like a good idea anyway.

Just got to figure out the timing. Haven't given up yet.

Though the bike breaking down this morning hasn't helped. It ran out of fuel despite having a full tank. :rolleyes:


How does a 17 year old manage to have a flash 600 and can wheelie really well? I'm a year older and I had to catch the bus today

Mine wasent standard at all, But you can stunt standard ones without too much of a problem.

Just put some big bars on them and your away!

Try get a 04 and up CRF50, mine was an 04 and it had heaps of mods like:
Big Bore Kit (72cc)
Intake and Exhaust mods (filter and muffler)
Suspension mods front and back (springs and bushings)
Big Bars and lots more stuff.

But for learning you dont need any of that stuff about from the bigger bars unless your under 5ft tall :hug:
