[quote=trickshow;3019611]ok ill try not leaning forward as much but everytime i use the rear brake i come smashing down! do i have to go behind the bp then use the rear brake???

You use the brake to keep you from flipping over when your past bp, not to slow down. You can use the engine drag to slow you down but you cant be revved up that high or else you will just slam down. To slow down you have to be past bp. Practice clutching it up and coming back a little further each time as soon as you can. When you feel like your about to flip and you catch it with your back brake you'll get the feel of where the bp is.

 

please post up video of that

 

NO NO NO KID WE WERE KIDDING!

Unless u want your bike to look like mine!

It will soon enough, gotta hit eject at least once while learning.

 

True! It just sux when ya do...

 

If everyone would have seen you first video maybe they woudln't be hating so much you've gotten alot better from your first video good job. It's getting cold as hell, today wasn't bad but for people who live where we do it's all coming to and end.
bummer.

 

i learned from a dead stop clutch it..... brake it.....clutch it....brake it.... over and over and over. and i didnt chase it... i brought it down and did it again... this way you can get 10 wheelies in, instead chaseing out one wheelie... you'll get and stand up more...

 

whats mousetrap? hittin the tail and slamming down reallly hard??

 

when u come up hit the brakes and smashes down on u hence the name mouse trap

 

cool man

 

not for me im riding all through out winter ...tomorrow is susppose to be sunny and reaching 60 degrees!!!! ill have "progression video 3" up tomorrow night.... so make sure u watch it cuz there might be a bail u neva kno. gonna take all my plastics off just in case.

 

Doesnt have to be a daily thing, give it a week or two man. And why are you askin questions on here when you can ask that kid doin circles?

 

I wasn't there that day i only road with him once and that was when i couldnt wheelie for ****.

 

was thinking the same, i still wish i had some one around here other then me and my other buddy (hit lot the same time), and i am still supprised how fast we are progressing, i guess riding 4 days a week for 3-4 hours a day helps

 

Your gettin better!!

BUT LEAN THE **** BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND STRAIGHTEN YOUR ARM"S OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust me kid!!

 

im starting myself to i been riding for mabye 2 months ever on any bike.. an i had my bike regular. an the other day i took my front of to make it into a street fighter.. it made such a big diffrence... i can actually c where my front tire is an not think that im gonna fall back... i hit balance point like nuttin now... i never in my life did a stand up but today i just got up an like nuttin i was wheeling ahha.... im such a noob it gets exciting.... lol can wait till tomorw lol its gonna nice like 60 whooaaa ....

 

+1 Streetfighter makes it more open. When I changed mine over I loved it! Got any pics of it now?

 

damn dial-up that sucks i had that.......

hey the vid was nice .......u need to edit though...but tat was nice

 

i can't offer the best advice but i'll tell ya what i know, your chopping throttle way too much the bike is all over in the air because its not a smooth throttle transition. when your doing stand ups the wheelie is best controled with your legs straight. you can direct your weight side to side better and you will feel the bp more.

it looks like your coming along good though keep practicing and don't be afraid to ask those dudes in your video for advice, but don't ask dumb questions like can you help me wheelie, just ask them to watch you and provide tips or something they seem to know there stuff

 

so yeah i'm not much farther along, well maybe a little but i thought it might help a bit heres a video of me
