mythicalstunter · 01-28-2008, 05:02 AM

So I can do circles and real slow wheelies on the brake and bp the problem I'm having is sideways balance I can keep the front at bp for ever but I keep putting my foot down mostly left foot to catch from falling left when trying to keep it straight if i dont put foot down I go into circle and can ride them out tyre press is low but I have knobblies on is this the prob .

street tires do help with stability....

...your prolly distibuting more of your weight to the left peg than the right one. or just leaning to the left

try shifting your weight around when you wheelie and you'll figure it out.

i have that problem alot and besides having a tendency to lean more to the side i also figured out the road i was riding on is crowned and i was sloping downward with the road

Is the rear wheel adjusted properly? I had that problem when the rear wheel was a bit out of line.

Ya rear wheel seems ok. was thinking could it be cos I am using a hand brake and as I hit bp I am working the brake and maybe this is causing me to fall left shit it nust be something when this happens I am standing on the bmx pegs

the brake will not make you start going to the left. If your wheel is on straight then its the input your are feeding your bike, bikes don't do things on their own, they only do what you tell them to do. So if you keep falling to the left...lean to the right. pay attention to how you have the pegs weighted with your own body weight, if you have more weight on your left foot the bike is gonna go to the left.

Try pulling the handlebar to the opposite direction. And lean.
