Default Re: What would you do in a bumper scraping wheelstand?

With as many wheelstanding antics i've done (not proud of them), I would say, you need to short shift 2nd gear and it will come down. If it still wants to come up, you need to feather the throttle. In watching the video of Ralph, if he had of short shifted 2nd gear, she woulda came down alot smoother, but things happen so fast. It all boils down to knowing where you are at in the air....Easier said than done, but Ralph did a good job, it could have been worse than that.....
