I know I've hit it, that wasn't at BP in the pic. I was rolling it for a while at 25 past this 10 year old kid and his mother and the windscreen was at my chest.
I'm gonna go out and practice some more today and see if I can hit it going faster.

dude slow down, 25 is fast enough, if you just leaned bp you should really practice slow stuff, first gear no throttles, it will take a while but high speed bp's a dangerous ****. one wrong move and we'll see ya in the wrong thread

Wait let get this straight?? BP at highway speeds is different that 25-30 mph?? i still don't ride BP wheelies but from what I know I thought it was the same unless you change your body position?

Oh ok I didn't know. I was just out and was getting that floaty feeling doing about 40 but I just can't get my throttle control down, it is really jerky, in fact I'm going 10x further when I'm under balance point than trying to stay in it.
