Unhappy Ballz

Yes I guess that's what I need. I really can't get my bike to the balance point..I have no ballz to do it, i'm afraid i'll flip back. I can bring the front up high as hell but then automatically i put it down cause i'm a PU55Y. HELP me!!! anyone.??? I did install sprockets on the bike so it goes up nice and easy but its the bp thats a problem. I got a zx6rr...avatar shows it...and dont tell me the problem is that I have a KAWI.. DONT hate... just give advice.. Anyone???

Re: Ballz

My is that if your just starting out don't try and bring it up to the bp yet. Just bring it up as high as your comfortable with, then slowly try to push yourself higher and higher. It just takes time for some, expecially pu55ys. Good luck.

Re: Ballz

ok honestly all it takes is time and the right size *****. If you don't have the right size ***** then it just won't work!! It takes time man. One day your getting it 4 inches off the ground and 2 months later its 3 feets. You have to understand it takes time.

Re: Ballz

Sounds like you don't know too much about the rear brake. Keep it covered, and when you pass the bp, give it a tap.

Re: Ballz

You should get someone to film you doing a wheelie! You will see how high you really are and 9 times out of 10 you are no where near as high as you think. After watching yourself a few times this will give you the confidence to go higher without the fear of looping! Works for alot of noobees! Good luck and keep on practicing....

hey guys I always here that but no one goes into detail. Is there a "right" way to fall? How will I fall when trying to do wheelies? How do you get over the fear of falling?

Re: Ballz

don't wait till you get to bp to tap the brake. just start tapping it while the front wheels in the air. that will give you te reflex and the faith in it to let it go higher. once you know you can go way back and recover then it's just about smoothing it out

one more thing. if your trying to do sitdowns you're shooting yourself in the foot. staggered is where it's at. sitdowns are hard...they're a lot twitchier front to back, they wobble worse, and bp is a lot steeper angle

+1 even if it means sitting your front tire down in the middle of a good whoolie, familiarize yourself with the brake. from expierience brake is your friend.

yes there is a right way to fall, "tuck and roll", (just like the commercial of the old lady jumping out of the car) dont try to stop yourself when rolling or sliding, unless your sliding/rolling towards some stationairy object i.e- car or a wall. sounds stupid but it works.
