how to prevent wobble comin down

how do you keep your bike stable when you bring the front wheel down after a wheelie. i find that when it comes down the death wobble begins and i want to **** my pants. i haven't had a crash yet but I know it's bound to happen if the wobble gets out of control.

i use my hulk grip haha...normally if you set it down not too soft not too hard it'kk land fine...i found if i feather it down it gets slap happy,or if i slam down the front rebounds up and gets light making it want to slap..so i try to land smooth and firm.

Re: how to prevent wobble comin down

run full tire pressure in ur front tire... and make sure ur tree is all tight. sounds like somthing is loose to me. pull ur top clamp off and check everything. also even drop out ur tripple and check ur bearings for wear. any play in ur front tree can play a roll in a disasters't tank slapper.
