Looks good man. Feeling comfortable has more to do with it than books or advise. If you feel comfortable and are not really tense, you will pick it up in no time just like everything in life. Good luck.

Re: just starting out..

Killing it for 3 weeks, keep it up man!

One thing I can give you advice on is try to pull your arms closer to the bike when you are going slow your body position seems to remain the same slow or fast. I mean your body position looks good but you seem too far off the back. I don't know if it's just me but I noticed that. Anyone else?

thanks man, but yeah i def noticed that about my self too.

i think the reason im back so far could be that im runnin cr-hi dirt bars and with the clamp set up i have it puts tha bars up pretty high, when sittin on tha seat i dont have to really lean forward at all to grab tha bars....thinkin bout goin with realy low bend bar or some high clip-ons but cant do anything for a weeks due to me bein a broke ***!

Re: just starting out..

Yeah money is always an issue when it comes to stunts hehe, your bars are high that doesn't help your right but you can still work on bending your elbows more to bring your body in. Youll be way more balanced on the bike.
