Bad habits when stunting

What bad habits do you have that you want to get rid of when stunting?

Mine is that i have a tendency to jump off the bike when i get nervous. I hate it. I know i could get the bike down safely if i wouldn't let go

I DID THE SAME THING STARTING OUT, BUT I STILL HAD THE MIND SET OF LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE WHEN I HIT 12 BAR AND NOT HITTING THE BRAKE . I STAYED ON THE BIKE UNTIL IT STARTED TO WOBBLE THEN JUMPED OFF AND TRIED TO SAVE IT . 3 TIMES OF DOING THAT I LEARNED THE REAR BRAKE. THE 04 636 IS A BEAST, SHE TAKES BAD WRECKS AND JUST KEEPS ASKING FOR MORE

Re: Bad habits when stunting

I got a bad habit to of trying things slightly out of my skill level, but hey thats how you learn faster!

Yesterday was the 4th time looping my bike but actually the first time looping it since really knowing the rear brake. I was hitting the rear brake then went a little behind BP, i was still hitting the break but it wasnt doing anything so i bailed, when really i just had to hit it harder

next time

BAAAAAD idea. My uncle's an anesthesiologists sp? (puts ppl to sleep for surgery). Had a guy come who was smoking while riding. Cherry of the ash blew up into his nostril. Wrecked his bike from the pain. Then of course had more problems than a burned nostril.

But ya I really need to quit smoking. If Michigan does the public smoking ban thing that may be the last straw.
