My Progress Thread

RedStar · 01-22-2011, 06:41 PM

Since i am recording all my stuff out at my spot, and have been recommended on stunt ride to post up my progress I guess I shall post it here as well.
Obviously I will suck ass in the beginning but I hope to improve over time.
I am sure I will get a really juicy wreck on video really soon,
Anyhow, I am running 3500 rpm and will be practicing staggered next time I go out.

Here is the video

steven32 · 01-23-2011, 11:04 AM

serg, you have to understand......

Matt · 01-23-2011, 11:30 AM

I'll be out when the snow melts as my back is doing way better also!

I don't have a lot bike but perhaps I will brake down and by one by then. Or better yet, convert the 636 and by a new 1000. Your 636 is lookin sick, I love it man!

ah man that was hilarious.

But hey, let me know when you're goin out! i would't mind coming out and snapping some pics and shootin some video for you.

RedStar · 01-24-2011, 01:28 AM

Went out to practice today with Alex. Staggered felt so weird at first. My first hour or so I wasn't getting high at all. Then started improving slightly. Its also taking me a bit to clutch up because I still have a stock lever and that thing is hard as hell to pull in with one finger, waiting to get my righteous this upcoming week.

Your afraid of it!! Practice, practice, practice is what is needed and is good to see you are doing it.. But lock your wrest after you clutch up on the gas keep it consistent.. let the bike come up till it becomes weightless and believe me it is a long ways up there.. but don't be afraid of it!!!

RedStar · 01-24-2011, 10:45 AM

Thanks Josh, yeah thats what is going on right now, I am overcoming that afraid feeling little by little. I will hopefully get some more practice real soon. Thanks man.

Delusnl · 01-24-2011, 12:35 PM

I've been to the balance point 1 time, it was the last wheelie I did that day it scared the crap outta me! Haha but good to see you keepin it slow...the last wheelie in the vid looked like it scared you a bit! Lol

A stand up would be called exactly as it sounds, standing up.

Don I believe Alex might need his forks redone again on the 600rr. I believe maybe when we were doing it last time we might have damaged it somehow or maybe he did when he was learning last season and landing the wheelie hella hard. Anyhow, I have a good feeling more Vodka will be on the way for you my friend

El Diablo Blanco · 01-25-2011, 12:18 PM

I don't remember working on the 600rr, I do however remember him putting his wheel on backwards on the z1k. lmao I get such a kick out of the 2 of you getting together!

600rr was when I went over. Remember, I bribed you with cigarettes lol.

Ohh Don we also fixed his overheating issue. Header wraped that shit and put in engine ice. Now it runs nice! Turns out the 600r is very popular for overheating when stunting, Alex got ahold of another guy with one who just got into stunting, and he also thought his RR was broken because it would overheat lol.

El Diablo Blanco · 01-25-2011, 12:45 PM

I remember the brake handle mashed against the front fairing and slamming me to the ground..........yea, now I remember, lmao. I don't remember doing the forks on that though, we were working on brakes and bleeding them.

I told Alex that it wasn't a "problem", the bike was designed to ride down the road, not be at 3kRPM's for 10 minutes with no airflow. LMAO! Glad to hear you found a way around the overheating.

I blame internet porn.

RedStar · 01-25-2011, 10:03 PM

Progress from today. not much but I am getting more consistent and now have no fear with getting this high. Hopefully will push myself much higher next time I go out.

steven32 · 01-25-2011, 10:06 PM

gettin closer...

RedStar · 01-25-2011, 10:12 PM

Yeah I dont know what it is, but I dont want to over do it lol.

Alex scraped his bar today, hes getting really good and really fast!
Maybe its because this is only my second day at staggered position, who knows...
