I want to gear as little as possible.. and try to just learn how stunt it the way I'm going to ride it regularly with regular air pressure.. plus I still need to pick up a cage and subcage before I get too crazy..

and as far as tire pressure i run 40 or above but letting some out will help with slow wheelies , keeps the bike stable while you are learning ..

Dont change **** on ur bike but making it tougher.... and learn to use ur brake untill u hit Balance point.. when u got balance point down... worry about reducing tire pressure and getting your bike to turn in on some circles.....

you can learn whatever u want in ur own order.. i jus recommend not learning the hard way liek I did...

i tried to copy everything about all the good riders i knew.. so i got a 62 tooth sproket... reduced my air.. whole nine yard..
all it did was take me longer to learjn... Now i hit stock up if not 1 down in the front and plus 2-3 in the back - I still dont do circles..


( Thats me in the back.. thinking about how I could make my bike more like thad.. aka Thehates's so i could do what he could.. Reducing my air to that DID Not make me do spreaders!!!!)

But i still dont **** with the tire pressure because its jus things i dont need to woryr about now..

gearing, psi, adding a hand brake..

Learn the basics first.. Have friends around (Truck) and you will get to all the miniscule **** later..

I've let out a little bit of air... but deffinitly not below the mark where it would effect my twistys... its just hard to rock correct Tire pressure on a brand new tire sometimes.. till u get that Cone as i call it burned down a bit

and it was all over the fuckn place.. that was str8 dangerous for me tyring to learn on that ****... got on some stock ****.. had to bump the idle up more but damn iw as like this is fuckn easy....... all my pie sprokets stay on the ******* wall now.. -

in my HONEST opinion you should learn to do coasters, bp **** all on stock gearing.. when u got ur break down and all that.. throw on a diff sprocket and start slowing them down.....
