Burnout?

[slipperymongoose]

I don't think the problem is the burnout it's the asking everyone about it. If your gonna do it go and do it and throw it up on YouTube. Just do it in a legal place and wear the gear and make sure the bike has its oil topped up.

Whatcha mean by "legal place"? Next to some cops?

[ojstinson]

I don't see the attraction, anyone can do it, it's not even a stunt ---wheelies are stupid but they at least take some skill to perform.

I can see it now;

And now folks, for the highlight of the evening, what you have all been waiting for--- a bunch of morons making their rear tires spin until they smoke and disintegrate.

LMAO. yeah burnouts fall intl the lmaowtf category. but can be fun. i have a spare wheel, id use that i got with one of my gs', i kept for this purpose. did 1 burnout on my property. afterwards when swapping tire out, i said meh. did that, dont care anymore

[ojstinson]

I can see the somewhat fun part on an individual and private basis, but as an attraction at a major outdoor event???----I don't think so.

cleanup was a bit of a Buddha Loves You too. all over the underside of rear fender. i get on gstwin, and do the fenderectomy. lol. but all over the swingarm too. anyone wanting to do this. will offer advice. do it on private property. even at your local FF joint wiht owners permission. cops cant do anything. ( private property of course). BUT if away from home, bring a trailer to take it back. if you do a halfway decent burnout, it wont be fit to ride back.

Gotta disagree with you, there is skill involved.  Just look at all the burnout wrecks on youtube to see those lacking that skill    While it may not look as impressive as a wheelie, riding a burnout takes a lot of front brake control just like a stoppie.

very true. a stoppie can endup an endo. with just a hair too much front brake

[ojstinson]

Balti, the majority of burnouts don't involve any "riding", they just stand there with their feet on the ground holding the front brake with an open throttle.

I misunderstood, I would definitely agree with that

Edit:
I have lots of raw video from the OCMD Bike Week show that I need to edit.  I dug out a video clip of what I mean by "burn out."  Cody Ives was there putting on a freestyle motocross show, I got to stand on the landing ramp while shooting which gives a cool perspective.  I'm sorry to say I forgot this rider's name, he is not part of the B-moreX crew I was there with.
