I tend to take it really, really slowly though. I still haven't hit BP yet. This year I'm working on being relaxed when the front end is up, and bringing it down EVERYTIME with the rear brake so I'm used to using it.

Alot of people say that standups are easier but they scare the shit right out of me.

And the kid that got torn apart (literally) was doing between 80-100mph when he touched down. Stay away from those $%^&* guard rails guys!!!

I am not much of a bp rider either. I do stanups all the time. I think it is much easier to use your body weight that way. I also find its easier to move around obstacles and steer when your standing. I need to cover my brake more often to, I usually use my weight and throttle for control.

the nice thing about stand-ups is you dont have to look off the side around the bike to see what is coming at you like you do when sitting.

ive hit the BP a few times, it scares the bajeesus out of me. i dunno i like stunts but im not going to even try to do any this year till i get a new front end, my shitty 37mm forks are already pretty messed up, i think one more hard put down on the front end and im gonna be walking home to get the trailer...

Hell ya 1badf*i. clutch it up. I just got back from riding with my friends, and got some good video of some high speed runs. One at 170, and one at 180. Video coming soon.

i need to get a tank mount for my CBR, I had one for the Katana and it was fun filming rides. I've got a nice digi camcorder but its about 5 years old now, the other day I went to turn it on and I think the tape motor burned up in it. I can hook it up to my computer and record that way, but I can't record to the 8mm tapes anymore.

it just looks like you spliced in your vid clip with some from pro competition
the dood on the cbr should cover his rear brake and try not to chase the bp

That one shot is from stuntwars. And yeah he learned to cover the rear brake the hard way.
