I'm not good but i'm learning.

Umm, I just learned to use the rear brake but eh, i'm not good at it yet. I got the bike the start of winter so haven't been able to go out all that much but i'm trying. I do all my stuff in 1st gear I'm just learning how to balance out 2nd and not loop it. I'm sorta scared of 2nd the first time I used it I ate **** and cut open my arms and legs pretty good. Well here are the pictures. I keep hitting the 12 bar in 1st but cna't get it to come back up so I just sit there on the bike.

Re: I'm not good but i'm learning.

yeah, I ride with a buddy he just got 2 pinched tubes =/ I try so hard to slam it at the top of 1st and hit that bar and bring it back up but I can't get back up.

My foot always falls off the brake, I wonder if a hand break would help wonders? :YEAH

Re: I'm not good but i'm learning.

looking good man.. keep it up.

I would get the rear foot brake down good first.. A handbrake wont help till you figure out exactly how to use the brakes in a wheelie. Once you got that down good, get a handbrake, they change the game totally.

Later.

Re: I'm not good but i'm learning.

i say get the handbrake right after u learn engine brake so well that u NEVER use that brake untill necessary, I might be wrong, but that's what i do. IMHO there is nothing more fun on a 50 than do in a spreader or K and using complete engine brake rocken em real slow. SOOO much fun. This way youlll be able to fall past bp and if Engine brake dont bring you back u can use the HB. I keep my idle so low it wants to stall for like 10 minutes till it warms

I got my HB this week and i just can't seem to set it up right.

I got the 50stunt HB, Should the stock spring stay on the bottom or go up with the stock brake arm thing ? ( the gold bar that connects the pedal to the drum.

Re: I'm not good but i'm learning.
