HIGHCHAIR WHEELIE

[pesh]

Practic riding around legs through the bars sitting on the tank for a while to get your balance all sorted , try riding in this position at slow speed , then get gradually faster until your up to speed . grip is a major part of this manouvre ( on the tank ) aswell as your tyre ( my tank's got skate griptape on it ) NOW depending on your bike ie. power output . depends on what gear u wanna try it in 1st to start with then work your way up 2nd gear.rolling the throttle on to where u know the power comes on hard . use your index finger and rude finger to flick the clutch while using the rest of your hand to hang on to the bars as u progress u will be able to control the height and distance remember PRACTICE makes perfect

if you own a GSXR 11,dont worry about flickin the clutch,you already have more than enough power to perform this one.

NO i dont want to.

[Gix11]

Yea man. I have mirrors on the ceiling, mirrors in the bog, in fact I replaced the windscreen on the ute for a mirror, keep crashin' though so I might have to change it back.

i have 2 way mirrors in stock mate,and i can shape cut to suit your windscreen.

peshh what bike are you using i've got a vtr thou, it get nasty when near balace point, surges because of carbies, with the 03 gixxer i could easly get 1k wheelies befor the drag strip ran out. it is by far the best trick to do, it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun, i don't know how far you geting them but when you get them to BP ......................................

thanks gix, should have put 2 and 2 together. :/

PS nice work pesh how long are you getting them, look like you got them up there, so prob getting some distance out them, also are you using a hand brake of just throttel and body position ( like myself ).

Check this clip of me out for a bit of inspriation.

just using throttle and body position. at the moment i have only managed about 200 meters roughly. i saw that clip and thats crazy m8 total inspiration

[03gixxerpilot]

Keep practing m8, my tank is dented in for stunting and gives me total confidence in doing any tricks on the tank ( leg spredders, highchair wheeles/stopies ) You dont need to dent it in i know many guys that do them without it, its what makes you comfortable, might be worthwhile locking you legs in ( against the forks ) and try leaning back a little ( this will scare the shit outa you at first ) but will make for longer wheelies in the long run.



Also have you modified you sump pick up yet, as you get better and do longer and longer wheelies ( and also higher ones ) you will run out of oil ( your pickup is not sucking oil )
This is done by moving the oil pick up as far back in the sump pan as posible. we also ( for those of us that got 12 bars ) pick the bike up to the position it would be in when wheelstanding and run the motor to check that we maintain oil pressure ( ie oil pick up ) in some of our bikes we have to run .5 to 1 litre more oil to maintain oil pickup.

I found out the hard way ( doing a highchair wheele ) spat a conrod outta the motor loss of oil, an expencive excercise that i wouldnot want to happen to somebody else ( besides i was VERY VERY lucky that it didn't sieze the motor )

anyway keep us posted on how they going.
