High chair question

OK i have a kfx pretty much dialed in for stunting. I do all the basic tricks but i'm gonna start high chairs. When you first start of in around 2 nd gear do you dump the clutch?I'm pretty good and keepin the rpm at a low rate. What gear do you guys start in?

I'm kinda new to the game too but I say, practice slow bp wheelies and put your feet over the bars and back then you feel more comfortable like that before you do them at high speed

I pull up either in second or third, yo ucan ride longer ones in third. Yea, i just dump the clutch at a slower speed but with enough rpms to pull it up. You will really have to pull back in order to get enough weight on the tires to get traction and the balance point feels like you are on the bar.

Sorry thought that might help........ I like doin them in 2 or 3 TOO I just sat down gassed it up and balanced it in first then putt my feet over the bars when i first learned it as long and slow as you want to see it.
I just thought safer to learn it that way.

I do think if you get it balanced you wouln't have to rely on the gas to keep the wheelie goin.Slow fass however you want.
Oh yea my 400ex will wheelie with me 190lb. standin on the push bar.

Just my 2cent

I wish mine would, I guess it might if I bounced it hard enough, but now it just spins. Nice pic, ever try a frogger, where you squat down on the front of your tank. What's your fav wheelie trick?

Don't know what a frogger is I might can do?
I love to see combo's switch it up 2 or 3 or more tricks tied togeather is coool stuff fo me !!!!

I don't have much for tips on it, but a bit of advice.....Find a nice flat spot to pratice on because you don't have a ton of control when you are sitting on your tank with your legs over the bars. If you hit a big bump the right way the quad "can" tip over sideways and it doesn't feel very well.

I've had it happen once, when riding at a fairly high speed over a field with some whoops in it....I hit one soft of sideways and the quad came up on one wheel....since I was sitting in the high chair position I couldn't really lean much to correct it and the quad ended up tipping right over and landing on me.....It's a lot harder to bail in that position too.

I don't really see it happening unless it's a pretty extreme case, and the spot you hit is really rough, but it's always safer to stick to the flatest ground you can find.

A frogger is where you squat down on the front of the gas tank, kinda like you are sitting in the woods taking a dump, not really any harder than a high chair, just something different. I have been working a little on combos, mainly, back and forth between can can, and flamingos.

My favorite combo had always been nac-nac, can-can, flamingo, bar hop.....gotta add a few more tricks in there when the weather gets warmer
