lol if you tryed that you wouldn't be able to feel the pegs, rear brakes or the shift lever. hehe I might try it though. either that or try skitching with them in 4th gear or so on a newly paved black top. On second thought, maybe not. lol

Skitching on a quad sounds hard, I don't think i'd be able to clear my nerf bars! It would go from skitching to dragging to emergency room in about 1 second. haha

I have done superman wheelies , the first one i did was on accident when i was standing on the grab bar and slipped LoL...A superman wheelie looks like you are trying to get your quad up the tailpipe tho, so i dont do it haha.

ok heres what i do... i put on foot on the grab bar
(1st gear) then one down on the nerf on the kleft side... pull a wheelie, put my foot thats on the nerf back off the quad then out the other one back... i did it on grass so i didnt hurt... when i want to stop i just slowly let it go to the ground pull in the clutch and climb back on

in one of the videos I downloaded a guy pretty much a belly flop on one on what looks like a 3rd gear wheelie on a BANSHEE. lol that was pretty crazy and when he got up he just some how brought his feet up to the pegs really fast and slammed on the rear brake.

I can't exactly remember how Dan started the wheelie, but I think he may have been kneeling on the seat or something. To get back on he pretty much would just do a pull up on the handlebars and then let off the gas, and when the quad went down it would pick him back up onto the seat and he could keep going.

I don't think it is that hard on the pants because if you look at the pic, his pants really aren't touching the ground. However, you'll also notice that his feet are. He ended up losing one of the metal toe pieces off of his mx boots in the process. He did a few of those wheelies that day.

I personally think the trick looks really cool, but that's just my opinion. The picture doesn't really do it justice....I think you need to see the whole thing to like it. Even then it's just opinion.

What Nausty is talking about is an Apehangar which a guy we know off the net did on his Banshee. He was moving pretty fast...he says third gear and I don't doubt it. He drops completely off the quad, so his stomach is actually touching the ground. Then as Nausty said, he pulls himself back up and nails the brake. That one is similar to the superman wheelie, only a little further.
