Shoot, man. Sorry about that sticker. It did look really nice.
ouch
Wheres your pop? I dunno it just looked all wrong from the get go.....You didnt load the front you just jammed on the brakes it looks like...Try practicing "popping" it up smooth slowly, then go for speed and distance......
Its hard to explain but I have a technique I use to "pop" up my stoppies, rather then just blast on the brakes in my normal riding position...And it all starts with the "pop"
Ya. I definitely understand the pop meathod and had it down last night in a lot 10 times the size. I mean I was rolling some bp stoppies for a long way. Today was show boat for the camera day. Which was my first dumb move. Anyways the tank survived so ill still be looking for that dent when I got a day to make the trip down.
Oh and what damper ?. So your saying don't waist my money on it before trying again?Originally Posted by chach

Official apology for dropping the camera!..
An apology will never fix what you have done... Now we will never know how far i slid across the parking lot on my face...

Straight arms, straight back ...keep your head up and get a damper if you want to roll long stoppies! Never underestimate the power of a damper my friend...
Pm me if you need something painted!!!
You know with that editing it looks like your bike ended up landing on its kickstand upright. Sweet.
Ok so 15 minutes before this I went and talked to the manager, (cute older chick) and got permission to ride there. We had just unloaded the bikes, It was our first time hitting that spot.
You can actually here me say "Stand the bike up, dont blow up this spot!" first thing after the flip. Before I even asked if he was hurt....
Thats the treatment you get for stealing peoples airboxes!
You should lock your garage then...Ok so 15 minutes before this I went and talked to the manager, (cute older chick) and got permission to ride there. We had just unloaded the bikes, It was our first time hitting that spot.

+1 to what gynx said and cut those tabs off your clipons and turn them out so you have a more stable grip!
Need something welded? Mild or Stainless Steel and Aluminium. PM me for quotes!
Ya that was already done.. Going to order some different ones.
Walking normal today finally. Going to give stoppies another go today. Wish me luck.
I can walk normal now too, and what a coincidence I was also injured trying a stoppie
Im not good at explaining things, more of a "watch this" kinda teacher...
Which is also a coincidence.. im more of a "wow that was cool i think i can do that" kinda learner
