Aye make sure you clean the bowl thoroughly afterwards before your lass gets to see it or there'll be hell to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Aye make sure you clean the bowl thoroughly afterwards before your lass gets to see it or there'll be hell to pay. I like Ryan's saying, a splatter does not require any skill, he forgot the last part, LARGE GONADS! Just pull the trigger!

motojojo Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 You need a bigger launch rock and what else, oh yea bigger gonads. The main reason I don't get much lift on a splatter is because I don't want to, I want to stay on the flat level ground not launch on to a big rock, yea small gonads.

fkrisztian Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 What gear are you guys using at splatters? I have a Rev3 (stock gearing), and I don't know which to use, 2nd or 3rd gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motofire Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 You need a bigger launch rock and what else, oh yea bigger gonads.I have ridden with Dr.Hud a few times. He's got the balls to do it for sure. Hows your suspension set Tony? is it too soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 OK I will give it a go to try and explain the exceedily amature technique that I use. Bear in mind the tallest thing I have splatted is about 3.5 to 4 ft. good kicker is needed placed on ground same distance as obstacle is tall. (so I am told) first few times give yourself plenty of run at it. Not so much to build speed as just to feel comfortable, as you approach the kicker, rev the engine, compress the suspension (get down on it) as you bring your body up, this begins to "spring" the suspension up ---dump the clutch. The entire time you are doing this look at a point ABOVE the obstacle, do not look at the leading edge of it. when the rear tire hits the face of the obstacle absorb the impact with your legs, lean forward a tad, and pull in the clutch. At this point you will either "clean" the splatter and be on top of said obstacle or sitting on the skid pan. Either way you ain't falling back down. also good to have a catcher just in case you don't make it. And they can give you a hard time if you don't make it. If there are any more experienced with the splatter that can point out any problems with this explanation, don't be shy. If I am wrong, well then I am wrong.

ham2 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'm no expert but the only thing I can add to the previous post is ..just after the clutch is dumped...pull back hard on the bars . I was told to visualize ''throwing the bike away''..rear tyre first ! I was also told '' don't worry ,it isn't possible to pull tooo hard on the bars''... but I proved that to be wrong.

baldilocks Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) THe biggest mistakes I made when learning this technique ( like I'm a professional now ) were 1) not revving the bike hard enough, the first time you do rev it hard enough you think your going to die when you let out the clutch ! 2) approaching the kicker too fast, the bike needs to be almost at a standstill when you let out the clutch to get the lift you need, its really a slingshot.

drhud Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Easy Motofire, I'm not that ballsy! The fact that I can't get the height, implies that i have tried. Ive used 2nd and 3rd gear. I think I'm depending too much on the bike, not enough body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) The "fat lads" splatter: Aim the bike at the rock, rev the B*****ks off it dump the clutch, miss the kicker, forget to pull back on the bars and splatter yourself all over the rock face.....
