OH **** indeed! im still at that level. i can get it up to balance point and if im lucky ill coast there even if i let off the throttle for a few seconds then come down. i keep forgetting about the rear brake.

Re: balance point

If people would just go out in 1st gear and clutch from dead stop and get it high each time it'd cause less damage.. Loop at 50 and bike goes tumble tumble

That's how I have been trying to lock BP. Figured if I can clutch it up fast from a dead stop or slow roll, if I loop it that damage won't be as bad and I can progress from there. Still in the OH **** category myself, getting the feel for the bike snapping up on me and trying to use my break to control the height, but still having issues with easing off the throttle because the bike snaps up so quickly. Just need to break that instinct that says slam the throttle shut and concentrate on more brake control.

Don't want to jack your thread dude, but this is relevant. Is is easier to find BP standing (staggered or regular) or sitting?

Re: balance point

A guy I rode with a couple weeks ago gave me a good tip... if you really wanna know how far back you are give the bar a good whack... well I did that this weekend and now I know how far back my bike can go without actualy looping....

I also use to think I was getting close to BP until I watched myself on video and found out I was nowhere near... so try video taping your self. It will help

most people say it would be staggered... I can do spreaders, seatstanders, 50/50's and some other stuff but i cant ride a damn sitdown to save my life but somebody said it on here before and i found it easy on my gixxer was too take off the back seat put my foot in there and other on the brake... then straighten ur leg as you clutch it up, i liked it alot. its worth a try.

You can see more staggard, and throw your body around more
