anyone knows how easy it is to get out of straps (powergrips, feetbelts) when falling over the front?
tried some nosewheelies, feels great, think i can make it over a small street.
but its a standard for wheelies: if you dont lean to far sometimes, you will never learn it.
dont want to faceplant because its impossible to get out of straps in that position.
without straps it was no problem to rescue from a to much lean nosewheel.
tell me: no problem, big straps and you will come out without problems
or
dont try it, you will be fixed in the straps because of foot position.
