you'll eventually get to where you can catch it with the brake But when learning, drag it slightly the whole time. Dont hold it forever cause you'll get brakefade. 500+ brake fluid and ss lines work wonders, till you eventually learn to just tap tap.

thats good ....and this is some more....don't worry about 12's still you can hit BP everytime.....you'll know you hit BP when you're not picking up anymore speed and the bike somewhat feels like it's floating.....and when you want to slow it down farther than what you're goin then pull back and give the brake a lil tap

Re: Learning 12 O'clocks

yea slow wheelies first makes sense...so more or less best way to learn the slow wheelies, lots of practice, i know that part...when should i start applying the rear brake for the slowies..should i be learning BP first, just throw my bike up till im floating then start with the brake or is there a better faster way?
