DONT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT DEFENATELY SURE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!
IT IS VERY EASY TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO DO THIS!

Try doing it at 35-40 km/h.

Not too fast because the result would be just a good spin and nothing
else.

Keep your right leg ready on the rear brake and practice braking!!!
It may be the only thing to do in order to avoid overdoing it and having
your motorcycle fall back upsidedown!
Try sitting back so that there is more weight on the rear wheel
And don't let the clutch go too fast, or you will have problems in the
transmition, drive chain and sprockets. Do it just like trying to
accelarate really fast.
Whatever way you do it chances are that you will do some damadge to your
@. Do you really want to do it?
