Back wheel steering assistance

Hi All.

As you can see, I'm still kinda new to the stunt life. I can do the odds like, Wheelie into 6th gear, Endo for a few meters, etc. The problem I have is that when I'm on the back wheel and would like to steer to the left or right, I cant. Can anyone please give me some pointers on what to do without hurting myself.

Lift the bike in 1st or 2nd, Bring it up to balancing point, keep on accelerating and keep changing gears. Easy as 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th....

Re: Back wheel steering assistance

Well when I put the front wheel back down on the tar, I average about 240 - 250 km/h. Can you help me out on how to steer?

Re: Back wheel steering assistance

to steer a wheelie you need to have the front forks about parallel to the ground, once your up high enough and feel comfortable shift your weight around.

I will bite and give ya a pointer.... the higher the front wheel, the easier to steer..... shift your weight and you will steer.....don't be afraid to turn the bars, just make sure you straighten out when you come down.....

My question is..... Can you keep one speed? Or are you always accelerating? And what bike?

Re: Back wheel steering assistance

Well you don't have Bp if you're needing to shift. To steer you have to be at or behind bp which is the best... Learn to control your wheelies better then worry about steering..

I can go 'decently' slow, but not REAL slow on my friends f4i

+20 -2 gearing lol.. I pop it up in 3rd, shift up to 6th, and ride 6th at around 30mph
