Stoppie

I wish I could, but I snapped a header bolt a couple days ago. Have to wait till it's fixed and everything's back together, I can't even try out the new tires. But when all's better will go out and point it skyward, yee haa!!!

Ive nailed the grab bar in 4th on my banshee with 17/41 gearing. Which equates to around 65-75 mph. I couldnt keep it up, so I slid off the back, and it went end over end bending ALL of the rims, bending the axle, right A arm, handle bars, and breaking the throttle and the on/off switch. Boy that was one expensive wheelie! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I did a 2nd gear wheelie and broke the grab bar off mine as well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] I did this on my uncles Z400, I dragged the grab bar on the ground for about 30 feet but it didn't do a thing. It finally stopped standing up after I fell off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] My craziest wheelie was a completely pinned 5th gear wheelie that I rode for about 50 feet! Almost had to change my shorts!!!

Default 3rd gear wheelies..........

At the beginning of my 2nd video clip on www.vtextreme.com that was a 3rd gear wheelie following a truck. As you can see it was up hill and he said he was going around 40-45, which suprised me because I didn't think it was even that fast. Anyway, on to my wreck...my worse ever was a 3rd gear "fender grab" wheelie. I was heading for a parked car so I went to set the quad down, but wasn't really paying attention and I had the front tires turned...it landed and just shot me off onto the road. Didn't feel very good. The 2nd to worst reck I had was when doing a "legs over" wheelie in a field in 2nd gear. I hit a dip in the field and the quad came up on one wheel and then flipped over sideways on top of me....not smart.

Speaking of touching the grab bar in 3rd gear....My buddy on the warrior in the 2nd video clip did it twice. Once at the beginning and again about 1/2 way through....fool was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

When wheeling @ that speed it really helps to be on an even surface. I have hit a ant bed in third doing a wheely and i almost lost it, too scary!
