it got up alot easier than i thought it would. but ive always ridden 1000's so they get up real easy anyways. haha yeah i know how you feel about being the guinea pig. everyone always trys to get me to try things first. clutching it is the same as if you were by yourself. just gotta watch the throttle and ease into it a little more carefully to keep your rpms to set the height you want your front wheel to be at. i sold my stunt bike a few months back so im a little cautious when it comes to stunting my repsol. id like to build another stunt bike soon though. but if you need help with any stunts or ride out just pm me. im always down to go ride.
