why cant i stay in the balance point?

i can do 1st gear sitdowns for a good bit till i tack out. i know im in the balance point every now and then but when i let off the throttle some i come fast back to earth and got to gun it to get it back up.

i know im not as high as i think i am but i think im gonna loop it. i know that thats probably the balance point there cause it gets really easy but i flub up

when i try to do 1st gear stand ups i can get it up quick as a hat but cant keep it up for ****

any tips?

1 Don't Be scared. 2 you might have to accidentaly scrape your tail to realize how far back you are. It takes a lot of getting used to. I mean you can find bp and learn it at Higher gears and higher speeds. And yes it's less twitchy, but you don't want to loop at that speed. Make sure your body position is good ( lean back ) and don't mess around on the highways unless you got brake control.

When you can slow a wheelie down or ride a constant speed for a while, you're on your way and its time to get used to that brake

Oh and search, any keywords you can think of...

Practice on a 125/150 Dirt Bike Like TTR 125, CRF 150 and You will get it much faster! Brake and BP.

Learn Stand Ups First With Left Foot On Passenger Peg Cover The Back Break After That Sit Downs Will Come Easier
