Very true. Easier to learn.

My friend Tony practicing. This was his second time out too.

Keep practicing, you'll get it.

I'm going to have to try that for slow sit downs....i can't get slow wheelies at all actually any sit wheelie. I just do small stand ups like you would on a bmx for a manual just gas it and pull/lean back.

Same thing with sit downs. Or drag your feet until you figure out where balance point is. And never take your right foot off the brake!

well after talkin to you guys and thinking about it. i think i want a 50 instead of my thumpstar. after all i only wanted a mini to fool around on/stunt. so i was askin around today and i have a buddy whos 8 year old races and i guess he still has the crf50 that the kid raced last year and is now to old to race it. the kid races 65's now. anyway the guy wants a good play bike for his kid cus all the kids bieks are set up for the track. so he said he would trade me even up! my 06 thumpstar for his kids crf50. i guess its all stock except some motor work but stock pipe so it would meet the race rules. and like 2 sets of flat trac tires. i havent been looking for a fiddy for very long so i dont know what they are worth. and i guess the kid just crashed into something and bent the forks all to shiat so he said he is puttin brand new stock ones back on. and they are already ordered. think i should go for it?

ROBINSONDB22 · 06-24-2008, 11:27 PM

yeah no offense but that thump is poop

Zar · 06-25-2008, 07:10 AM

What year is the crf50? Does it have an extended swing arm?
Im not sure if its a good deal or not cause ive never priced a thumpstar before.

grabagear2 · 06-25-2008, 07:37 AM

i paid 700.00 for the thumpstar. new they are like 1200. not sure on the year of the 50 i will find out today. and the swingarm is stock.
and no-no offense taken I know these china bikes are nuthin special.

project-c2 · 06-25-2008, 09:45 AM

Sounds like a good deal on the 50. Good luck on the deal. You will be way happier and parts for the 50 are easy to come by just look in the CRF50 Parts For Sale forum. LOL Check out 50 Stunt rear pegs and handbrake, stunt ready. Oh and a Bar kit.

grabagear2 · 06-25-2008, 11:15 AM

Never snows either. And always Summer. ROFL

grabagear2 · 06-25-2008, 10:58 PM

its not that bad. its actually very nice shape. it would just make things easier if i had a crf 50. for example i just had a problem with the rear brake. if it was a honda i could go to the local dealer and pic up the parts. instead i have to try and rig something up...

Zar · 06-26-2008, 08:01 AM

Thats not a bad deal then.
