When buying any motorcycle, it challenges a person to perform spectacular and sometimes dangerous stunts. One of the simplest and at the same time dangerous stunts is lifting the motorcycle "on the goat", that is, taking off the front wheel and continuing to ride on the rear. You don't need much skill to perform this trick, but it is worth knowing a few important things so that your training does not end at the infirmary.
Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your motorcycle for the stunt. Get rid of all unnecessary gadgets. Remove the boxes, baskets, the front of the plastic. It is better to replace the side panels with old ones, as you like it or not, but you will surely have to fall a lot. If there are no spare unnecessary plates, decide for yourself whether you will use the existing ones or not. The plastic can be left on one side, thus protecting the engine and the rest of the interior of the motorcycle from the effects of falls. Alternatively, the plastic can be removed to make the bike lighter and easier to learn. And at the same time, even if you scratch the engine, the damage can be "hidden" behind the beautifully preserved design.
Step 2
Once the motorcycle is ready, prepare yourself. You are unlikely to need a helmet if you know how to fix your head when falling. If you do not have such skills, it is better to wear a helmet after all. However, in both cases, protective equipment for the body is essential. If you don't have a professional, specialized carapace suit, jacket with lining and matching pants and gloves, go to any sports store and buy a skateboard or roller skate protection kit. This kit will not completely protect you, but your knees, elbows and wrists will be intact.
Step 3
Start practicing at first speed. Most bikers find this trick easier in a standing position, but you can find a position that is more comfortable for you. It depends on your height, weight, and muscle strength. The essence of the trick is to use your strength to raise the front wheel and balance with the motorcycle, not to fall. Start with 20-30 centimeters, gradually increasing the angle of rise.
Step 4
Only when you feel that you can easily lift the motorcycle at any time and under any circumstances, proceed to training at the second and other speeds. Remember that you risk not only breaking your motorcycle, but also being crippled.
Step 5
If you do not want to "kill" your "horse" by training, buy a bicycle that is similar in structure to a motorcycle. Mountain or cross models are fine for training. All that remains for you is to accelerate and get on the rear wheel, and if necessary, fall, not thinking about the consequences. The main thing is to remember about safety.
