Re: podiums???

either way.......it doesnt matter, are you riding idle? Im guessing not........learn idle, slower speed makes a mouse trap when your on top of the bike less painful.
Mainly you need to learn throttle control, you should have enough weight on your feet that your not pulling back on throttle period............seat time hommie

Re: podiums???

i believe your talking about a frog. a podium is when you have one foot on the seat and the other is thru the clip-ons on top of your forks. i guess it also depends where your from either way practice.

Re: podiums???

get on idle let it start pulling you back behind bp then step up. the more weight on the top of the bike the further back bp is until you get comfy or like others said get better with throttle control

Re: podiums???

yea frogs i fuqed up the terminology lol not podiums but yea i realized today as i was doin them (an not really doin them) that i should be further back when i step up then it kinda rolls forward. thanks for the advise but i did learn one handed idle wit foot in seat today i dunno if that makes up for my super sucktastic frogs lol
