should i start with stand up/sitdown/torpedo wheelies

alright so i can from a stand still sit downs put it up high.. but not to the ballance point yet.. but ive kinda hit a wall, i keep reading i should do stand ups.. but when i try that it doesnt feel natual .. and it seems harder to use the rear brake..

so should i keep working on sitdowns and keep trying for bp or should i just force myself to get good with stand ups cause ill probably learn bp easier that way?

AND ive never learned fast wheelies just cause i never cared.. so i cant hold a wheelie yet.. am i going to be lacking the skills needed for bp?

Hell no you can learn them slow with out ever doing fast ****, most people started fast but **** it youll be fine. Do stagerd stance practice it for about 10 min straight and youll be wondering why you where even trying sit downs.
It s wierd at first but you get used to it quick. Good luck PRACTICE!!

yeah stand ups are easier to balance since you can use more of your weight to keep it in BP. Do whatever you feel more comfortable with, then just keep increasing your height till your not increasing speed or atleast staying somewhat constant. Sitdowns are more comfortable for me but others i ride with are more comfortable with standups.
