Default Squirelly Kid/Squid : )

Yea, I know I am one, but just wanted to let y'all know I got my cherry popped and hung my first wheelie today. : )

The mom walking her dog didn't look as impressed as I was when I went by her though. : )

Now for more practice on the corners.......leaning over a 350 lb machine as its going over 30 mph just isn't natural to me yet. : (

You think that's hard, try leaning over a 650lb machine with a pogostick bolted to the wheel.

learn how to control the bike properly before you start trying to pop the front up. if you're not comfortable turning a bike at 30, you shouldn't be pulling wheels at any speed. and please tell me you had all the proper gear on.

A Squid is a squirelly kid, usually refered to noob bikers, which I'm still learning on my bike, so yea I can be a squid at times.....when I'm in over my head - going from home to work to restaurant, not so bad. : )
