im trying that 360 tommorow

[xr100racer]

well i just tried that 360 and flipped my bike. i think it acctually rolled like one and a half times but i couldnt tell becuase i was flying in the air. i tried it in this gravel driveway at this abandoned house down my street and it doesnt have enough gravel its mostly dirt now because im always crankin donuts in there. i came into the driveway way too fast and popped the clutch and right when i got sideways the tires graped and tossed me a good 10 feet from where the bike stopped. this was my first experience where i could look back and be certain that if i wasnt wearing my helmet i would have been for sure dead or a bad concussion because my head smacked the ground preety hard. and i ussually dont wear my helmet when im just in my neighborhood but something today made me feal like i needed it. it looked so easy on that banshee with its low center of gravity - little different on a raptor. bent the mounts for the rear plastic and my handlebars are a little tweaked but its all good just got a couple scrapes. all that just from watching that video, should have had a warning that said do not try this at home 2:L

I think you weren't going fast enough.

This time, video it, and I will analyze it and tell you what you are doing wrong.


The trick is to fake left, then turn right to get the back end to really swing around, then as it gets to the 3 o'clock position, hit the rear break to slide it past the 6 O'clock position, then gas the heck out of it and you'll complete the spin and keep motoring down the trail.

I'll having you doing 720's in no time.

that technique seems preety good. ill try it on some really loose stuff so i dont have much traction for my tires to grab. yeah, now that i think about it i didnt even have a plan on what i was doing i was just gunna try to swing it around real sharp and somehow it would be a 360. goin out to river ranch on sunday so ill try and get a video of me doing something cool and post it. i never think of bringing a camera when i go riding
