Not shure if its ever been asked but since i'm new to the whole 50/stunt thing what should i really work on first. I know i should work on balance point absolutely first. but from there where do i go i've hit the BP a couple time then it just kinda drops out from under me i'm not shure if its just me bein nervous on the bike or what but i guess a HB setup would chill my nerves a little until i find anouther excuse to find the BP how did ya'll learn the stunt abviously by doing it but what were your steps?

 

1) Practice
2) Practice
3) Grow a pair
4-11) Practice
12) Crash and upload videos
13-.....) Practice

 

if it's dropping out then you are not using the engine brake or the foot brake correctly , a hand brake on a fifty is really only needed for very advanced tricks ..

you can do almost every thing on a fifty just using engine brake so get out there and ride it more

 

I started learning in 2nd gear. The speed helps keep the BP, but it hurts worse when u screw up. Learning the BP was not the hard part. Learning the side/side weight distribution is the tricky part. Run low tire pressure in the rear (it helps with ur side/side). You HAVE to learn your brake control. Without brake control, stunting isnt going to work. Make it a habbit to use the foot brake, that way u grow the habbit of always covering the brake. You may not always use the footbrake later, but u will be in the habbit of having it covered. Practice, practice and practice. You cant learn how to stunt by typing, hehe....=-) Good luck and keep ur head up. It will all be 2nd nature before u know it...=-)

 

what he said

 

Just to get in the habit at first, try doing sitdowns with one foot on the ground and just bring the bike up from a dead stop. Let it go pack a bit past bp and use the brake to pitch it back forward.

 

Seat time will cure problem.

 

^so true.

 

what your saying is leave it in first at idle liek say i was just starting leanign on my left foot. hold my foot down and rock the bike up and use the rear brake to bring it back down? i think that might help me out a bit. but i wish all this snow would stop so i could have a clear road to ride on. soon it'll have studded tires tho and i can try on the ice

 

i got a pos 50 baja the pep boys one and its auto clutch and mad slow how do i do 2nd gear ****

 

I wouldnt try 2nd gear on that POS, it may fall apart in mid-air. Better leave that thing on 2 wheels, ur body will Thank You, LoL.......Save ur hospital bill money and buy a damn xr/crf..=-)
