Oh, I guess that makes it easy...
I think a rear facing set-up, viewing the rear wheel and sprocket would offer a different look on drifting and circles!

Yes gonna have to try some of that too....This was by special request, people wanted to see what is going on with our fingers, and what is involved in doing the clutch stalls and spins...
 
I still don't understand the concept of 'slipping the clutch'...I tried to get some insight from the video...but it just doesn't work in my head...

I saw from another video that you're supposed to just pull in the clutch and release really quickly...but it didn't work for me...maybe my timing's not right...

Any quick pointers anyone can shoot me?

Slipping the clutch means you are allowing the clutch plates to slip by partially disengaging the clutch, this happens somewhere between engaging and disengaging.
As I'm sure you know, this is what you do when you want to, smoothly pull away from a complete stop without any jerking.

We do the same thing in a wheelie, usually at balance point, to kill or modulate the drive.
It reduces the jerkyness and smooths out a wheelie the same way.

Q for da suntas, r u guys using dat easy clutch cable.. or the clutch arm extension??

dat 1 finger pull looks soo easy n smooth.. mine is madd stiff, even with 2 fingers it takes alot of effort n my wrist go num after 10 15 min

-the adjuster thing on ma clutch is broken but it should effect the smoothness too much? would it.. cause ma street bike clutch is alot easier to pull

Most of us are using the MSR RAPTOR EZ-pull clutch lever or the RSC Rightious stunt clutch (basically a billet MSR)

They have a different pivot point that makes the clutch easier to pull, other then that your cable routing and condition can make a huge difference in your cable pull. Keep it clean and lubed, replace it if its kinked and route it in a matter that causes the least amount of bends as possible..
 
you need a tripod mounted on the bars facing the clutch and brake...you can see it from the angle you have, but mounted on the bars will allow one to follow the the two levers, and then do a split video for the split fingers...meh, what do i know, just trying to be creative...i love shooting video and taking pics...
 
After seeing that username, I am thinking that we need to add one to our Lot Commandments!!

ai respect, i wasn't sure which 1 to grab... did u guys try extending the clutch pivot arm? i read that works too but not sure if its worth doin the mod
 
I did try it once, and the extended arm is sitting on my desk collecting dust. Since I already had the EZ-pull I found it didnt work well with it. The EZ-pull clutch levers also fit better with a hand brake setup, so IMO that is what you need. On most bikes it makes it soft enough on its own
