[b0rn c0nfused]

[Tommy Warren]

how fast/what gear are you doing it in?

[b0rn c0nfused]

300ex realy doesn't have the power for it. The first gear is too short and second would be too tall. although second is the highest gear you'll want to do a high chair in. try in second while hitting a little bump or try popping the clutch. are you all the way on the handle bars or is your *** on the gas tank? I could do it no prob on the gas tank with my old 300ex.

[b0rn c0nfused]

My *** was like almost on the handle bars when I was trying it. So try moving back on the gas tank some?

[Tommy Warren]

yeah when your sitting on the bars and it comes down and turns you can't steer anymore.....sit on the tank

and this is a cool thing to do??? It sounds like a great way to almost purposely hurt yourself. lol

It's fun when you know how to do it.

Not true. I used to do high chairs all day long on my 250x.

Haden't rode for over 4 years and got on a stock 300ex and had no problem doing them.

Few months ago I got on a 400ex and did some more.

Its like riding a bike. Once you get it they are easy.

God I miss riding.... :mad:

my 400 was perfect for wheelies

thought you were a freestyler not a free rider ? :p

on a serious not practice practice practice.

I personally do them further up. I put the bend of my knees on the handle bars... Then again I ride a YFZ and don't know how a 300ex is.

move up more and lock your knees onto the bars just make sure you have good padding because when you come back down it hurts like hell.

[b0rn c0nfused]

Dude that was sick!

[MX MaNiAc 06]

Thats sick!

400ex are perfect for stunting. When i moved up to a 450r i tried to do the same stunts and couldnt. Throttle is too touchy. Broke off the stock grab bar doing a cliffhanger wheelie. Ordered a rath bar and bent the crap out of it the day i got it doing the same thing.. never stunted again haha

exactly....I tried forever to do that on my yfz and it is just wayyy too touchy. i have went through 2 grab bars already. its good for distance wheelies though :D

Build a custom steel grab bar.

I bent my AC wide bar after a while and then build one and it held up great.
