Does anyone out there in Stunt land have any advise or methods to mastering the back brake, Ive already twelved and broke my tail fairing and my foot so whoever is going to say to do that can save it. All are appreciated

 

practice

 

if you have no footbrake control whatsoever i suggest getting a 50 or a quad or something like that to get used to it... Saves ur bike and trips to the ER

 

get a 50 it will teach you a lot about brake control!!! i rode a 50 for about a year then my first day stunting an f4i i was slow 12'n.

 

+1 on the quad & 50. what helped me too when I first started was covering the back brake while just riding in 1st and blipping 1ft wheelies...lol I'd go up and down the lot doing 1ft clutchups and tapping the brake. after a while you'll be doing 2ft etc. you get the picture. when you start getting the hang of the rear brake start riding out 2nd gear and start bringing the front back more to slow it down using the brake. but if you can get your hands on a quad that'll help out some. it's all about building your confidence and practice any chance you get

 

That sounds good to me, I dont have the funds right now to buy a quad being that Im about to put myself through motorcycle repair school in aug. so ill have to make due with what i got for now, good looking brotha.

It is better to learn with foot brake V.S. hand brake, right?

 

yes, what good is a handbrake until you know the basics

 

I agree

 

*** drags taught me the rear brake in a safe manner and I know 90% of the people in the BX roll around w their one foot on the ground. Okay maybe not 90% but a big percentage

 

Please Explain Oh Great One(WheelNeal)! What is a *** drag My Dude?

 

letn your feet hang off the bike on the ground so if you start to lose it you can catch it.

 

Wooden 12 bar.

 

ok!

 

dont do that.

 

So once u master the rearbrake on a 50 do u step up to a 100 or jump on a bike.

 

Just practice that's about it.. riding a 50 helps because its the same concept just on a small bike.

FYI i know people that murder circles that can't *** drag.. #2 is one of them

 

Practice and work on your throttle control too.

 

Not really the best way but I learned by taking my bike almost to balance point then murdering it while on the throttle to slow down while on the throttle then got it back to balance point and started catching it with the rb.
