made some progress yesterday

I rode after work yesterday for a couple hours and I'm not really sure what happend. I just got cocky and tried some new ****. It was pretty exciting!

After just a few minutes of trying i was able to bring up a sit down. Put the left leg over the handle bars, take my left hand off the bar and ride like that for a few, bring the leg back down then go into a staggered stance, then back to sit down and so forth.

It's amazing how fast it comes along if you just get out there and ride. the day before i was just getting to the point of really learning to consistantly balance straight sit downs. I'm not bragging, just more of motivation to stick with it!

if you really want to learn balance try taking your left hand off or bringing a leg out. It really pushes you to keep the bike up. But still nothing too hard to do. i don't even have a HB yet .

heh heh, HB wont help much when the left hand is off but I hear what you're saying...taking a hand off or sticking a leg out does help ya learn. Stick them way out there and it acts as a counter balance weight.
