So I recently converted my bike to stunt with, and it so much fun its ridiculous. I got my 12 bar today and it RULES. I was scrapin in a half hour. Heres some pics of my bike and a nice one I got today.

I have a question though, I don't have a hand brake (yet anyways) and can you pull out of a 12 with the foot brake? Its so freakin hard, just wondering if its possible.

Also, I am trying to think of something like a hard plastic I could put on the bottom of the bar that scrapes the ground. My parents are going to be pissed If they find all the marks on the driveway. lol Has anyone done something similar?

Anyways, STUNTING RULES!

Oh yeah, also is there a way to stop gas pooring out of the over flow? The rents wont like all the gas stains either.

put a check valve (one way valve) in your breather hose. some bike shops have vent hoses with a one way valve already in it.
i think those little filter things guys put on the end of like a 2 inch piece of hose dont allow fuel out either.

for the plastic. find yourself a nice piece of delrin.

A.K.A. cutting board from your local wal-mart

Jaycycle · 06-27-2007, 02:17 PM

Oh okay sweet thanks guys! Never thought about the check valve

turboglenn · 06-27-2007, 03:18 PM

well, theres no way to stop the gas from leaking except holding it wide open ( then it will use that gas) or at least most of it.

as for coming out of 12, it's much easier with the foot brake than a HB.. you've got to have enough momentum to get back off the bar though, i can do it in the bottom of 2nd easily, first has to be rapped out hard, then the motor is fighting the brake from all the lfywheel weight though... jsut get going in the bottom of 2nd and when the bar touches, rock your body forwards and jam the brake as hard as you can

welcome to the stunt side

..... funny thing is after the last few weekendds out i'm wanting a dirt fiddy as well ( i'll never give up my stunter though)

go out in the street stop resticting yourself to your driveway you'll never learn that way

slowkid6 · 07-18-2007, 12:28 PM

nice bike

reynolds_brad · 07-18-2007, 12:37 PM

To keep the gas from pissing out when at 12 i just stay WOT. Serious it wont come out if your on it.

As for coming out of 12 the foot is way more easy. just make sure your up high on the seat and you use your body weight. if your too low it takes a lot more break.

~E · 07-18-2007, 12:41 PM

I am not a stunter and dont have a 12 o'clock bar but I said 3 years ago that someone needs to bolt a skateboard truck to it and be able to snake around and spin donuts while fully vertical... plus it will roll smooth, rather than scraping.

c'mon, someone do it.

SN8WMAN · 07-18-2007, 05:09 PM

Skateboard truck sounds awsome. I have never thaught of that. If someone does it post pics.

xr70racer · 07-18-2007, 05:21 PM

That would be awesome.....

trizzbizzle · 07-18-2007, 10:06 PM

downside to roller bars is your tshirt will get caught in the wheels and cause you to eat it. some people used to rock em, 50stunt used to make them but they proved to be pretty unsafe so no one really rocks them anymore

Hanlon99 · 07-27-2007, 08:03 AM

Trizz its realy hard to tuck in the back of your shirt.

we have mounted roller blade wheels to our pocketbikes when we used to stunt on them. The only bad thing about wheels is that if you come back a little to hard they don't stop you like the flat bar. They just rollout from under you. They do work pretty cool for getting up in the wheelie and just coasting.

I have also mounted wheels to my LTZ400 when I stunted on it. Just pull in the clutch and glide.

rford426 · 07-27-2007, 08:44 AM

^^^^^your ltz400 should already have wheels shouldn't it?

Psychoholic · 07-27-2007, 08:51 AM

If you have a manual clutch you can pull that in and it will help you get out of the 12's even easier as you wont have the engine pulling!!
