Trouble is, while I would love to be able to ride like that I don't want to practice on my bike

See the size of the rear sprocket? Not saying it's easy. But certain things certainly help.

im just wondering, what does a big sprocket have to do with riding like that.??
i know they help with low speed wheelies, but i didnt know they help'd riding like this..

Just in the fact that you won't have to be slipping the clutch as much (1 less thing to have to do) and the extra drive helps too.

Instant throttle response in low gears. Helps at low speed to stand the bike up using the throttle without gaining too much speed. (Watch him throttle chop through the slalam section).

Learning to do that would be very cool, but the skills required would rarely benefit NZ road riding. The guy's rear brake control was fuckin phenomenal though, he's primed for real low speed stunting easy peasey.

So THIS is the new restricted test coming out in October

**BigAl** · 1st March 2012, 10:35

Note he had high bars as well, try it with your std clip ons.....

The gearing was mega short and did you notice the bars? Certainly not standard CBR6 bars...
It's obviously set up well for him and he can ride the shit out of it.
Doing that with clip-ons and stock gearing would be bloody horrible

Great vid!

Not yet..... practising though. I really need a wee bike with crash bars & stabilisers. Myself & my gf have been practising around cones for weeks now, thought I was getting quite sminky, full lock turns, 360's etc... These vids make me feel like a total noob. Practise grass hopper.

I agree. I'd end up on my arse under the bike if I tried that.
