sucks about the guy dying, but i love it when people get ate by 50s after laughing at me for riding them. ive had people laugh their asses off when i tell them i have a 50 then they see me riding down the street high chair and they are like wtf

Booo! downer. back to the wheelies

Fat Azian

I think wheelies should be done sittin on the seat, not the 12 bar. Lets see some pics of you guys scrapping the 12 bar while sitting on it.

The 1 - 2 shift can be a killer in those 50's, my step mom broke her collar bone doing that, and she wasnt even trying to wheelie...

Wherever the front of the bike points is the time. haha
\/12o-clock\/

MISFITSBOB

then are we going counter clockwise? so we ride at 3 then then wheelie it around 2 and scrape at 12?

Psychoholic

It depends which way you are facing...DUH!!!!

DUDE!!
This is no where close to 11:45.
Nice try though.

Try almost 10.

lol now i realize your just joking around. good luck tho on BP need to be balls on the tank if you want any chance at a combo

Are you kidding me? Sport bikes are easier to stunt then a 50? ha-ha

You stunt all 3? Lets see a video, or pictures of you on a sport bike... Because by your post, I'm guessing you don't actually stunt, just do straight line wheelies chasing rev limit?

50's are childs play, they are simple, cake to stunt. A sport bike is no where near the same.. And I'm not talking about power wheelies, I'm talking about STUNTING.
50's compared to sport bikes are SOOO simple.. They are nothing.. How can you even begin to say a 50 is harder then a sport bike?? I can do 1000x the tricks on my 50 as a sport bike, and I stunt my sport bike everyday.. Can you do a circle on a sport bike? what about high chair circles? no handers? Coasters? I can do a few variations of circles on my sport bike, but on my 50 I got combo circles, HC circles, and whatever circle I want on lock.

If you put the same ammount of practice into a 50, and a sport bike, you'll get better WAY faster on the 50
ehh I think sitting far back looks, weak, your tire is only like 1 foot off the ground when you sit on the 12 bar

I like sitting as far forward as possible, so balance point is up high

only sit down pic I got lol


Btw the 12 bar on a 50 is a MILE past balance point, its not like a sport bike where 12 bar and balance point is only about 1 foot difference.. Also takes good brake maintennce to bring it off the bar


And just because I like whoring out photos



Also on 50's, most peoples 12 bars are sooo long they aren't even 12, they are just 11 bars lol.. Thats what mine is anyways, but with ****ty drum brakes, it makes scrapes way more consistent having the bar really long..

Prickster

Wouldn't it depend on what side of the clock you are on??? Because if the clock was the other way, he would be at 2... I like me some Canadian bacon....

I pretty sure most of you guys know that shawn can ride wheelies for days and can do many tricks and combos .

The fact that this thread is called finally learned bp is kinda off .

If you can wheelie for days without using the brake , thats bp . You are not doing a powerwheelie . If you were , you would never back off on the throttle . On a fiddy you have to be on and off the throttle . You are reaching bp , then letting off because if you don't you will flip . When it comes back down below bp , you have to get back on the throttle to get back to bp .

I think what shawn is saying is he is shifting his weight back far enough so that staying at bp takes less throttle input .

But you already know where bp is . You are just practicing with your weight further back so less throttle is needed to keep the front end up , and mastering it .

^ i disagree, look at professional stunters. when there coasting at bp there vertical just like towliee's pics of him coasting at bp. shawn would be able to take his hands off the bars because he isnt at BP hes just balanced. BP is when you can take your hands, feet , whatever off and stay right there

Crazy D

Look what you typed . "he isnt at BP hes just balanced" .

bp means balance point . being balanced .

If you bump your idle up , you can ride a wheelie at bp with no hands , but you have to use the brake on and off so you don't loop the bike . That is not coasting . That is maintaining the bike at bp . riding a wheelie at balance point .

When you do a coaster , you are well beyond bp . and use the brake to stop you from looping . You are not holding the bike at bp when you do a coaster .

None of the pics towlieee posted are of coasting .

project-c2

I dunno. Balance point is balance point. He learned it and it's lower, because his weight is farther back. Balance point is when you can ride a wheelie without gaining forward speed.
