Just wondering how you guys learned to stand up when you clutched it. it seem a little sketchy when you clutch it standin up. but im fine gasin it standin up.. maybe its the violent motion... but i dont want to gas it..

so any advice would help.......i should just ride around standin up. hahah

Az in the house.

and Practice, practice, practice

 

Yep, you get used to it.

 

Just Do It!

 

yeah, clutch it when you are alrady standing, like others said, practice and you get used to it.

 

he is new to the board...give him a little break....

 

You'll get used to it real fast, JUST DO IT. Also, it helps a ton if you do it staggered (left foot on the passenger peg)

 

you just gotta get used to it..

standing up is a weird feeling to overcome, you just gotta grab ur nuts and say *** it and do it. once you do it the first few times, it feels much more natural..

ps try it staggered first

 

I've got regular standups on lock.... but every time I try staggered the bike wants to come up funny... off to the left or right (which ever foot has the most weight on it).

With the regular standers I lock my legs and sort of grip the rear cowl... but I can't get the weight distribution w/ one leg bent and staggered.

Is there a trick to where to put your weight or how to hold your legs while commin up?

 

I've got the same problem. Anyone??

 

I lock both my legs in SS as well (left foot on passenger peg), it usually wants to go off to the left, so I just lean to the right a little to counter it. I have no problems going straight.

As for the original poster, try putting one or both of your feet on the passenger pegs, it feels so much more comfortable once you get the bike up. Let us know how it works out.

 

when i try to do a stand up it feels like i am going to fly off the bike. and it wont even come up. i can clutch a sit down no problem. any suggestions?

 

When I first learned them staggered, I always started drifting to the right. After a while I just got used to bringing it up with my weight even. I still drift off to the right but it happens less than it used to.

 

Are you trying to clutch standups or bounce them and where are you putting your feet? When I first learned standups I couldn't get them up for **** and when I did it felt like you said. Just keep practicing, clutching them is definetely the way to go.

 

Yeah i remember first trying stand ups and the sucky part was drifting left or right. just like a frickin sit down it takes doing it a buncha times, untucking your ***** from between your legs, and getting used to the new **** with your weight even. just think.. at least ur past the gay azz 1 foot off the ground sit down wheelies.
