Body position

[voodoo_stepchild]

Does anyoe else have trouble with there body position in a turn? My stools turn so hard that its a nightmare trying to stay on top of them in a turn. Obviously im leaning but the centrifical force from the turn is just unbeliavable. Is this something anyone else has trouble with? Its the same on all 4 of my stools and I even get tossed off in a turn if there is the slightest bobble. IM taking turns pretty fast I will admit but thats the name of the game.

Heres what i learned fast. Try this in your yard,{DISCLAIMER""" dont sue me if you fall etc etc.....this is dangerous etc etc... you might fall and get hurt or killed etc etc etc......""""} get going 5-6 miles per hour. hit the brakes and try to spin around sideways, as in a power slide, a wet yard is a good yard for this. after getting better at this, lift ur butt off the seat while you are sliding around and lean forward{ almost like standing on a pogo stick} what this does is gets you used to more balance instead of hoping on some non-existant velcro on your seat......."it doesnt have any"

Yah the control in a slide is no problem and control through the corner is no problem it control going into a corner and rolling back on the throttle coming out of the corner. Its like a freaking slingshot man and if your front end ever break s loose forget about it because when you back off the throttle and it grabs your history. I was just wondering of this is a problem for anyonbe else besides me. However slide on a wet lawn sound freakin cool and im gonna go do it anyways

May I suggest that you try leaning to the outside of the turn and forward. This will let the inside rear wheel spin. As you are coming out of the turn gradually lean back. This will straighten out the turn and grab traction and you will accelerate. Really a rush once you get the technique worked out. HTH.........Terry

Nope no good,
leaning outside as #1 im moving well to fast and #2 I run a live axle so it wont allow just one wheel to turn. The problem is when I accelerate it unloads the front tires just enough to push and when you roll back off the throttle they grab and the stool goes the opposite direction and your body continues going forward to the pavement LOL.

No changin that bro!!! Makes it interestin lol. dont throttle in too much til you are straight enough to lift the front wheels and land em going in 1 straight direction.. If this websight were a little easier to navigate pictures and videos, Id send in tons of cool stuff and some videos. Im not literate enough to downsize and compress and zip and blah blah blah. On wet pavement, I love to go @ 10-15 mph and lock em up and turn.

Voodo_Step,

From what you had wrote, it sounds like your BSR is working correctly. :laughing:

Fast Turns = Lots of Force. Your tires are doing their job otherwise you would have no G-Force and be on your head.... :laughing:

Okay well sounds like everyone is handling the same,
I am just so used to karting I have to realize its not a kart and im not sitting in a nice tillet seat where I can take corners the way I do. I guess thats the thrill of the barstool. Funny, my old stools all had differential rear ends, thats where the difference is at. Live axle rocks but will take quite a bit of adjustment to get used to and I will have to learn to ride correctly. Cant just hop on and go thats for sure. Gravel anyone?
