scorpa3 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Apparently all you have to do it look at the front wheel and hop... like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ralph is pretty good at this as he gets lots of compression out of the shock he could probably get 4 foot of lift with the compression part but gravitiy works strongly against him on the up stroke . You have to be pretty sharp feeding the clutch out whilst the suspension unloads and pull on the bars,it helps if you imagine the bikes not under you as such and you concentrate on getting yourself to jump up and forward,bike has to follow at every stage though, thats the hard part.

They may very well be using a small irregularity as a "kicker", to help them get the bike off the ground. What "The Addict" describes works even better, with even the slightest bump, root, rock, etc. to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiller Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Looks and sounds a lot like the "splatter". It works better with a kicker but that is not at all necessary. Its all clutch, throttle, compression, unload, and timeing. To learn it you really need to be comfortable with the bike and how it works along with a bit brave. If you dont understand the process you wont get it without someone watching you and pointing out what went wrong. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiller Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I have done that very thing on a 76 TL 250 so you will be fine. The 07 Rev is a touch easier though. Its all nuts and timing. Good Luck. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
