Should've got a bike with more low end torque, that way, he would have got the tire spinning, heating it up and then, when he had her bouncing off the rev-limiter, she could have grabbed and launched, that would have been a good video.
wasnt bad. putting the front wheel up against something does help you get used to it. you should have no trouble on flat pavement though. tires are too expensive so i usually only do one a year.
