My first Standup....

so.... i know i will prolly get reamed about this being **** and all that.... but anyways...

I DID MY FIRST STAND UP WHEELIE EVER tonight.... and am really pumped.... i just wanted to stay out riding all freekin night.....



dont have my stabilizer yet and it was real wobbly and kinda puckered me a bit..... but it was still a super rush....

im also gettin WAYYYYY better with 1st gear sit downs... (keep in mind i have only put like 500 miles on this bike) so im still trying to get the feel for it.....








PS. i know these pics suck compared to yalls pro stuff and there night pics which suck but its best i can do right now... but all my friends and guys i ride with were all talkin about how fast im improving... so hopefully i will have a lot cooler pics soon....

Re: My first Standup....

stand up a straighter on your left leg. it helps a little if you stand upright a little more and pull the bike amore to your chest on a stag wheelie. hey just my point of view. its all about the hours you put in. stay with it.

Re: My first Standup....

good ****. i think if you would just stick to stand ups,youll get the balance point down faster! that way you can put more time into the easier trick. and then itll make sitdowns easier when you got the concept down on stand ups. worked for me. and get on that break pimpin!!!! as in,be ready to hit it when your far back and engine break wont bring you back down.

Re: My first Standup....

your fighting the bike and making it harder on yourself....you need to just relax and let the bike come up....stop leaning over the bike....the sooner you do that the sooner you'll have cool pictures for myspace....

Re: My first Standup....

thanks guys.... yeah im really workin hard on tryin to get good so when i finally get plastics i wont be so scared about F in them up....

yeah im feelin about 85-90% confindent in 1st gear sit downs....

about 20% confident in 2nd gear sit downs....

and have only done this one stand up.... which now i have gotten a lot of advice from you guys and other forums and friends on how not to kill myself doing them so hopefully im gonna go ride for a few hours tonight and work on em.....


And i love stoppies but the bike had bad brake pads when i got it so i havent done that many and got new pads on it now but am still breakin em in a bit befor i start going to town on those too....

so hopefully i will have some stoppie pics soon as well as some better wheelie pics....
