correct..you grab the brakes..the kicker is the front brakes only.....kind of a half grab to get the downforce going..the a full lock of the front brake..and then the rear wheel lifts..and you lock the rear brake to prevent wheel spin in mid air, which throwns off the point of balance if it(rear wheel)does indeed spin....all this while grabbing on to the clutch ! This is definitely harder than it looks and for the overeager stunt wannabe's..they usually throw themselves off the bike..because they misjudge everything that I stated above (half/full lock, rear brake to counter wheelspin, clutch grab) I use to do this on mountain bikes and motorcycles 8 years and 75 pounds ago ;)
