Re: No handers

Left leg straight or kneeling on the seat, right foot covering rear brake, but not much weight on it. Crank that idle up. The closer you bring your chest to the bars the higher the ballance point gets. For some people putting your nips against the bars is easier. I personally stand up most of the time. Gooluck.

I kinda Just Play it By Ear. Not really sure how many turns it is. For me, the higher I have my Idle up, the Faster I can go..

Re: No handers

Try practicin coasters first. The rear brake control will make all the difference. You'll be able to do the alot faster too. The faster you go the easier they are.

Re: No handers

my idle is bumped up pretty good i actually was doing them in second this weekend it gets up kinda ugly and takes about 20 feet but then she just rolls.....give that a try ......there are many different balance points to fit each person mine isnt near as high as some of these guys cause im bigger than most of them..you just have to play around with it.
