Re: 12 practice went wrong?

probably from poor throttle control, gotta try to be as smooth on the throttle and brake as possible. Consentrate on keeping your right hand as steady as possible for a hour or so of practice soon it will become 2nd nature

no.... just hold it steady so you ride smothly along..... the brake is there to stop you from looping

i say learn coasters. if you coast into the scrape, it's a lot smoother.

I don't see a point for trying coasters if he hasn't even mastered RB to perform simple 12 or scrape smoothly...take it easy, don't rush...

kyle woods and matt gorka make 2 instructional dvds that pretty much break down everything you need to know verbally and visually. level x dvd wheelies 1 and wheelies 2 advanced. i picked up alot from these vids, might help.

Re: 12 practice went wrong?

Never try to scrape 12 unless you know the bike is rolling smooth, if you try and scrape 12 when the bike is wobbly you'll probably wreck or hit the 12 bar wrong. I always make sure I get to BP and let the bike get real steady, after that I lean back and give it a little (I mean a pinch) of gas... I mostly lean back though. Once I'm on the 12 bar I can do 2 things (1) slow the bike down on 12 and scrape for a while then tap the back brake and come off 12 or (2) I pull in the clutch and let the bike scrape to a dead stop. Either way, I won't hit 12 until I know I have BP and the bike is really smooth (no side to side at all).

i didnt have a bar all tail but i couldnt get it to 12:30. i bet if i had bar i would have scraped. im trying to get the video from the guy who taped it so you guys can see what i was doing wrong but hes still got to get the comp connector so i can plug it in. Ill get it posted soon, plus its a crash who doesnt like to watch someone wreck
