Need help?

So I recently started stuntin and trying slow wheelies. I've been able to ride highway wheelies quite good...just clutchin it up in 2nd and ridin em out. So what I need help on is brake control. I'm confused on the concept... I was ridin the other day and would pop it up to 12 from 0 mph and then one of two things would happen. 1. I hit the 12 bar and bail out and let the bike fall or 2. I would hit the bp then fall below it and give it gas to try to bring it back up. Another thing, when I use the brake while it's up, it just seems to set the bike back down. I've tried letting more air out of the back tire (i'm runnin about 15 psi or so, almost flat) and I've tried running the idle anywhere between 3-5 K. It could be that I just **** and I'm sure I'll get some smart @ss comments on this thread, but I would serious take any advice someone has to give.

Re: Need help?

The best advice to give is all the times i've asked you to come ride and learn so people were around to help you..........not to go out by urself and try **** and then come back and post up on here asking for help

I'm not driving over an hour to go stunt when I can drive 15 minutes. I don't like stuntin alone, but I seem to do better by myself. It doesn't matter anyway, I will figure it out eventually, I just want to hear what advice people have to give.

Re: Need help?

whoa whoa, keep ur idle at 1300rpm and clutch a sitdown wheelie and chase it into 10k rpm range and float it back being really smooth on the throttle. it will slow down way before u hit the tail and you'll learn the height for bp and throttle control

you should ride over to my house and stunt with me.

Re: Need help?

1. I will get it
2. It won't take a year
3. it's a chance we all take, but at least I wear a lid
4. yup, I probably will **** up the bike...it's a freakin stunt bike

and it is my choice...

And I wasn't by myself, just riding by myself. I had someone there to call 911 in case I went down hard. He was taped it for me so I could watch what I was doing wrong later...

Just 'cause you learned a slow wheelie and had JohnF teach you everything doesn't make you some pro now. Your ego is way too freakin big these days.
