you might be goin too slow...cause to hit that bar you go past the balance point and if your goin too slow you wont be able to bring it back...i think thats because the tires are so tall on a blaster and the brakes are kinda weak.....go faster!!!
I have the same problem on my CRF150.. If I'm going to slow.. theres NOOO way to bring it back down... To scrape I gotta be going pretty fast

that is a dope pic Nags. You gotta be in at least 2nd gear @ a good clip not to just stop & fall over when ur that high 
what gear are you 12'n that blaster in that you cant get back down? Is it drum or disc on that thing? Should still be able to be creeping, hit the bar & keep going.
keep tryin!

thats my slang for going "pretty fast".
on my TTR 125 - you could NOT do a high wheelie in 1st, you would just stop. Had to rev the **** out of 2nd, get some speed & try to drag that tail. In my case, then fall over.
rinse & repeat.

Drag 'em for like 10 feet that way. The tail is so worn down right now it's damn near impossible to scrape.I can do 'em in first too, but it's just winding out the engine for no reason. I prefer 2nd.
Did y'all ever end up scraping the ttr?

12's are easy in any gear, just cover the brake to get you back down. I can scrape wide open 4th on my EX like no thang.
** nags, i had to sell the TTR to get some loot to buy my 400 EX ** i'll buy another one.
