PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 (edited) i wanna see pics of a superman seat grab. until then i voted you lick the left nut. 288727[/snapback] I think it would be just as sweet as a backflip if someone has done a superman hanging from the rear grab bar. As far as your skill level I don't think you're going to land a backflip at 14 especially on a Banshee. You should get something better for jumping such as a Blaster(because of your size) it's much lighter and easier to manuver or a Z400 and ultimately a 450 if you have the cash which since you don't have shocks I'm assuming you don't. I do alot of jumping (mostly distance and over ditches) and if you don't get yourself a landing ramp you will have a frame that looks like that one posted in the images section with the rear shock mount bar busted out of it. I personally am not flexible enough to do a heel clicker but of the stuff I can do I know that I should shave those fenders down because they are always in the way of getting your feet out and back. If you get to the point were you are clearing 20-30ft of air you don't want to catch a buckle on a fender while getting back on the quad. I have some wooden ramps and before I got the Elkas I was always slammin' my frame into the ground. Get some shocks, gussets, arms, axle, nerfs (incase you don't already have them), insurance, freeze some sperm, and get a better camera. The ramp in your "Cordova" pic looks pretty decent and if your not slammin' your frame into the ground you must not even weigh 100lbs. Also I think the Bomb squad would probably not let you go off their ramp with a stock shocked Banshee or possibly a Banshee at all. No offense to the Banshee but it's not a high level freestyle quad. Anyway Good luck to you and post some more pics as you get them and as you improve. Edited December 5, 2004 by PUSH THE THROTTLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NugShee Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Is this forum going down hill like all the rest? I have never heard so much negativity since the last time I visited #%3## site. You guys dont do a very good job at welcoming people into the forums. Banshee riders have a rep for being cocky little rich mammas boys and some of you are starting to prove that theory to be true. For those of you that actually help BHQ members and provide support when needed, you are the true gentlemen and can go riding with me anytime.

04ShEeLE Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 I"ll say you have more "guts" than me, I would have said you have bigger balls than me, but I am pretty sure my balls are a lot bigger than yours. Don't worry your balls will drop, as for the pics, It takes some guts to try the shit you do, and you have them. Just please quit making excuses for shit (bad pics, small ramp) just grow some balls and say, "look, i did this and if you don't like it...kiss my ass."

blk02banshee Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Banshee riders have a rep for being cocky little rich mammas boys 289109[/snapback] WHAT!!! You obviously never met a banshee rider. Anyways, bansheefreestyler, you need to have good pics or better yet, VIDEO, before you even ask a question like that. I give you credit for at least trying to freestyle, especially on a banshee. I call BULLSHIT on the elka "sponsorship" because if they did sponsor you, they would hook you up with the shocks you need. That's what a sponsor does.

Guetter hit hard enough when he landed the first one in the snow, he even broke the thumb throttle, I wouldn't want to flat land one. When you try it make sure you have a couple of people taking pictures and better yet video, also make sure they know your HQ password and can post them incase the inevitable happens. Hey can you get a picture of yourself doing a superman from the rear grab bar for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that I live on the Oregon Coast which probably has more banshee's per capita then anywhere else. Banshee's are king of the dunes and Dunes are all we ride around here. As for saying you all are rich little mammas boys I think I was just blowing off some steam. I know you ALL arent jerks but after reading this thread and seeing most of you slam on freestyler for being proud of what he can do kinda got me going. BHQ should be a place where people feel confortable to hang out and post and if everytime someone makes a post you all slam them then this site is going to go down hill very fast. From the help you all have given me I know that the majority of you are very suportive and I apreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee17Racing Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Nug....I see what your saying. But most of the guys in this thread were telling him what he needs to do...but for the guys telling him how much the 14 year old sucks....that's really cold. I've been jumping for a couple years now, and it does take a little "guts" to do it. But freestyler...stop the excuses, take 04ShEeLE's advice, tell us like it is and you shouldn't really care how we feel. You've got a 'shee, which is good enough for me.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Nugshee, Have you ever heard of constructive criticism? I think it's great that freestyler is serious about riding but after all he is doing something that can be seriously dangerous and if everybody tells him he's wonderful and that he can do anything he wants without the proper experience and equipment then there might be a day when we don't know what the hell happened to him because he disappeared so to speak. Sounds like he's got plenty of potential and desire but reality is involved too. Personally 14 seems like a young age to me to pull a backflip if he does it that's great and i'd love to see the pic or video especially if he does it with a shee. I have to say your quote "Banshee riders have a rep for being cocky little rich mammas boys " is the first time i've heard of it. The rich mommas boys are hoppin up their brand new import cars not riding 1987 technology in the sand. I have all the Huevos vids and when I watch them they make everything seem so easy and I feel like going out and launching off a huge ramp and then all of a sudden the crash scenes come up to bring you back to reality.

bansheefreestyler Posted December 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 ill be doing the backflip into snow. im driving about 6 hours to go do 1 trick or try to anyways. if i die i die its the chance im willing to take to bring the spoirt a whole lot forward. as for calling BS on the sponsership there is 2 DIFFERENT kind of sponserships you can get. 1)shop- discounts on all parts. 2)factory- all the parts free. I have a shop sponsership. i get discounts on shocks. I have the proof of my sponsership. they sent me an email. if you want you can go ahead and call elka and ask if im sponsered. i dont care if you hguys dont belive me. but for making up excuses for the tricks i guess i kinda was.

sanddevil111 Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 dude thats almost impossible to judge without a more detailed array of pics and or video. the pic that i did see werent very good one. but your style on those little ones wasnt all that bad. but if you are gonna freestyle then i would suggest gettin your shee more setup for rather than stock and/or another light quad and bigger jumps. But your not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
