when you kick it over wouldnt the kick starter fold back up? on a dirtbike you dont exactly see the kickstarter point frontwards, its alwasy going back, whats keeping the starter from folding up when you kick it? your kicking forward, and the kicker FOLDS forward. dumb question but i gotta know.

i think the kicker kicks backwards tward the back so when you unfold it it doesnt fold back up when you kick anyway thats what i think

You may want to look at those dirtbikes again. They face forward and kick backwards. The Blaster also kicks backwards, not forwards.

Honda's three wheelers and four wheelers with kick start kicked forward and pointed backwards when not in use. Maybe that is where you picked up the "forward" motion idea.

hey now! be nice. blasters do kick backwards. but if i were you i wouldn't be worrying about kicking it over. blasters are REALLY REALLY easy to start. i bet i could grab the kickstart and press down really hard and start a blaster.
