The faster you go the easier because of the gyroscopic forces of the wheels. But do you really wanna be 12'n at 30+mph?

since you asked, you are learning. Since you are learning, you probably don't want to practice 12's at 30 mph. It might hurt a little bit more if ya have to tuck n roll

gyrowhat??? it jus has to do with speed if your moving in a direction you tend to keep moving in that direction resulting in balance . pretty sure its nothing to do with tires spining thats jus an excuse for peps with problems.

gyroscope. the thing that keeps your motorcycle from falling over while you're riding, it's what's holding you up.

Re: **which one is easier to balance?**

on the real 12v's at higher speed like 30/50 mph are easier in the sense that the bike does not rock much side to side even with full pressure..if you still ride the streets sometimes you do not want to be going too slow on the wheelie...but my friend the stakes are higher if you go too far..better to learn slower 12v's first
