    LOL "no gloves for better throttle control"....

    Before I learned to pull in the clutch I used to just hit the kill switch when I felt the bike getting away from me...

    Time for a kill switch with a cord or proximity sensor?

    Some people use those already, RyanS the guy that lost one leg and still stunts uses one. I assume its because he cant run out his mistakes with the prosthetic leg

    Yup one of the biggest metal battles, getting your mind to switch from hitting the kill switch to pulling in the clutch...Seems so simple

    Yeah I started pinning my kill switch for tandem, after an unexpected mouse trap when she hit it with her legs over the front...Luckily I pulled in the clutch quickly and kinda softened up the mouse trap...

    She also has the really nice angled anodized alloy Arete valve steams, I put them on all my bikes also...(you can one them in the pic too)

    Fast shipping too


    And the kit comes with some good sizes, from big ones for axles to tiny ones..

    The good thing is even thou they arent SS, it looks like they bent them in raw steel first, Then plated them. So the ends arent raw and havent rusted...Instead of getting the wire in zinc, and cutting them leaving the ends raw to rust easily...

    i hate kill switch mousetraps

    riding my buddys bike didnt look to see if his was (he tethers) and i hit it with my knee doing a frog strangler....bad position to be in

    got launched hard (on video on fb) and ended up chipping my hip bone
    didnt reallize it right away (**** doctors lol) but the bruising was phenomenal...

    PIN YOUR KILL SWITCHES THE DAY YOU START TANK AND FEET OVER TRICKS!

    i need DZUS fasteners...those are pimp. then again i ziptie all my plastics nowadays since i lose fasteners like mad lol
