I just had to rewind a couple of times and watch the first 8 seconds of how this guy got on his bike...I tried it, got the bike up, smacked my shin and got tossed to the other side :oops: I'll try it again when my leg and ego feels better...maybe I'm too old or my cruiser is too heavy :roll:

believe it or not, I've been doing those stationary burnouts 30 years ago on my old Redline BMX until I flew over the handle bars and landed on my face busting my front tooth. I was trying to see if I could still burnout from moving fast to a complete stop by suddenly clenching my front brake :roll: ....well since my body was already over the front wheel :oops: ... If only there was a video of me wiping out, I could have possibly won $10,000 on Americas Funniest Video :roll: Oh well

Yes the trick is to grab the brake hard enough to lift the rear wheel and ride on the front wheel to a stop, but not hard enough to do a faceplant, something like this

Or if you're feeling young

Hey Outskirt...I think I'll just relegate myself to the occasional bunny-hop onto the curb or over a small puddle...those tricks are a bit too extreme for my non-insured body :oops: :mrgreen:

I hear that. The most extreme I get is hauling 5 bikes home on my trailer in one load.
