Re: I Know I Suck....

It looks fine but slow dem mudafu@kas down! I like 2nd gear half throttle, clutch it up and meet your front fairing at the top and steady it.

Re: I Know I Suck....

there's nothing to see, your moving at about a buck 10 and the camera is focusing more at the squirels in the trees than your wheelie

Re: I Know I Suck....

but if you want my advice.. judging from your avitar, you need to straiten out your arms and lean back a bit. Practice clutchin it up at very low speeds. that way you can try to hit the balance point with less risk to yourself.

Re: I Know I Suck....

not to be a ****, but you're going way too fast for anyone to see your form, or what you're doing, that and the camera man sucks...definately try slower wheelies, or get a good camera man, and post a slow motion video

Re: I Know I Suck....

stay in first..yes until u learn bp or get closer all ur wheelies are guna be way shorter than ur power wheeli ffriends, dont worry about it urll learn quicker, and pass em in no time

stay standing, save the sitdown for later...STAY IN FIRST!!, put ur left foot back and straighten ur arms, and hig the bike with ur legs...ok clutch up at about 15mph and goes as high as u feel comfy going..even if u rev out in 2ft..

next wheelie dont focus on gonig to bp just focus on goin higheer than ur last wheelie, and keep doin this, at ur pace...that way at the end of the day...maybe ur power wheelies are only 8ft now iinstead of 2ft...but uve progressed and ull feelgood bout ur self which is a key to learning...

when u start gettin em up there....and think ur balanced....apply pressure to the rear brake....but thats a comp diff topic.....well discuss that when u get to that point but for right now liek i said stay in first and take baby steps...ull get it its not hard

solid advice...Yellowgixxer my comment was because i couldnt see anything in the film, not ****ing with you or anything. Anyways, youll have plenty of time to work on form at 5-30 mph
