frog wheelies

was trying to get frog wheelies on idle. first day trying. as soon as i made weight transfer from back seat to tank it would come down way too fast. for some reason i couldnt keep it a bp, soon as i gased it it would accelerate too fast for my taste. long story short i think i tried to hard and mouse traped over front what does everone do to stay on if it comes down to fast??

Re: frog wheelies

be smooth, i can step to frog back down to seat stander and jump to spreader without ever coming off idle, not that i do them on idle normally, but i wanted to see if i could..

if they come down i accelerate out and crouch closer to the tank

Frog wheelies balance higher than seat standers, so you have to bring it a little higher first, then step up. When its coming down, its better to jump down to the seat of you have time. If you dont have time, keep giving it gas so it comes down slower, then pull in the clutch when its down so you dont go over the front.

jump back down to the seat u have more control from there and ur less likely to go over the front, and if u loop u can drag ur foot and try to control the bike until it parks...
