faster stuff is a lot easier.. the gears are a lot smoother and you have more time to make changes w/ the throttle.. i really dont do any faster stuff.. the slower stuff is a lot more fun and challanging.. hurts less when u fall too

i'm not looking to change gears in a wheelie.. if you can hit balance point you will never need to change them

i'm gonna work on turning tomorrow.. i have off all day so i have a lot of time to practice... i turned the first one in the video.. circles are a lot harder then they look.. props to any one who can do them

That means too much brake.

or that your going to slow.. which means your using the rb.. it stalls out when i slow it down to much.. i know i wouldnt be able to ride them as slow as i do now on stock gearing.. i like the throttle response from the gearing i have now too

i've been trying to do 1/4 turns and i slow them down as close to a stall as i can then try to turn and some times the bike stalls out.. sometimes i can get a small turn
