Start off learning the sit downs. Dont worry about the stand-ups just yet. The sit downs will help you learn the BP and also help you learn balance from side/side. Stand ups can be a bit harder to control, because u have to lift, find the BP, and then lean forward. It was just easier for me after learning the sit-downs first.....=-)

Suspension wise, its a great set-up. Keep in mind, i also use mine for mini-moto tracking. So in my case, it helps me out alot as far as how well the bike handles....The ONLY down fall, is the fork seals are crap. BBR puts the shitiest fork seals in them from the factory. So you will blow the seals in no time. Just replace them with some stock crf70 fork seals and them biatches will last forever.......Other than the seals, i cant complain at all....=-)

For some reason my HB helped out alot on learning. Most people say learn the foot brake first, then learn the HB. I was the opposite. After learning the HB, it taught me to use the foot brake. Yeah i know its freaking weird, LoL......And yes u are right the 50 gets boring, but u can never learn enough tricks.....Plus i like it because its a little more forgiving than the big bikes....=-)

I like my 50 in the dirt just because its fun to toy around on, and 99% of people don't expect me to fly through the trails like I do, climb the hills I do, or catch the small amount of air I do lol..
And I love bringing it to the stunt lot, because I can get **** faced and still ride it (**** stunting the sport bike **** faced)
my 50, slowly being setup for dirt

sure it has a clutch but not wit your hand. When you shift into 2nd, hold it up and now the clutch is in and when you drop the shifter back down from the holding up postition it's now engaged. I "clutch it up" all the time with out the hand clutch.
