or you could rig it like the harley guys and have two shifters one facing forward and on backward so you can upshift super easy. You'd look like a goon in the pits but you'd go like a motha on the track i bet.jlv wrote:I always wanted to make a shifter with an extra knob on it a couple of inches above the first knob. The idea would have been to shift with your toe between the knobs when you're riding centered, upshift with your toe under both knobs when sitting forward, and downshift by pushing down on the top knob when you're leaning back.

Re: Real MX Pics
Lol or you are just a lazy fat ass american kid who probaly cant ride. Standing on your bike is one of the best way to ride, come down to holland to a good rutted track and try sitting down a whole lapPhathry25 wrote:My point exactly. Europeans think that standing is a good way to ride a dirt bike. Fools I tell ya, all of them!

Re: Real MX Pics
That's because euro and americans ride 2 diffrent kind of tracks. You can't compare it because of the big diffrences between them. In holland belgium and germany 90% of the tracks are soft flat and rutted. in america you will have uphill and downhill and big table tops and the dirt is hard's tits. To keep youre momentum on a soft rutted turn you'll have to stand untill the middle of the corner then you sit down.Phathry25 wrote:At least mxracer118 got my joke.
For real though, it's awesome how well the stereotype works out, all the Euros say to stand all the time, all the Americans agree sitting is necessary.
Dont think you see this in america
Re: Real MX Pics
You're right, in America you would never see a track in such an un kept state.
Not all the land in America is hard, you have to remember the scale versus the European countries. I rode a track today, that if ungroomed would make that track in your video look like a peewee track.

I know, I know. My dad's cell phone has an amazing camera. Some pictures are big and some are small. I really have no idea what happened. I just stole 'em off Facebook.
First time gettin' the bike on the rev limiter.

Pathry, that track is not in an un kept state. That's just how it looks after a couple of houre's of practice. After each day of practice go's the bulldozer over it to flat it out.

Re: Real MX Pics
I only stand be4 a jump, in the air and on the braking bumps. When entering the corner i go sit and keep on sitting till the ruts begin or a jump is coming. And thats in my opinion how everyone should do this. You must not stand everywhere, nor sit everywhere.
