    Why da hell does everyone say "Don't try this at home", is it more suitable to try it at a friend's home?

    Just cos you see someone do something doesn't mean your going to try it, let alone straight away? Maybe the dude is mature enough to realise he can't yet ride for shit and will be smart enough to hold off popping wheelies till later?

    All if, buts and maybes though
    Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery today is a gift!

    First is one click up. Then you smack it down everytime the engine starts making a funny buzzing sound...

    They think that he is going to die trying to wheelie in a carpark!
    It hurts less fucking up a 160km.h wheelie then it does clipping a bus at 50! but they are KBers so they think that anything too scary for them to do is going to kill you, half here wouldnt even know what the right handle is for, let alone the space between the ears.

    well, you said it!

    it used to be different a few years back!

    it used to be cool!

    now we are considered dangerous, cause "no one execpt me is good enough to do that safely"

    he said thanks, and i pulled a 2nd gear standup away from him
    Not sure about your technique or attitude, but good on you for stopping and helping the guy/gal out anyway.
    The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said.
