what up all, i was wondering , once you hit your balance point how much room do you have tell you loop over? and i ryde a 2001 zx9 if that helps

 

umm.....full balance point, maybe like 6-12 inches from the tail depending on the bike.

that also depends on the speed. If you are rolling 5mph the balance point is really high, while doing 120 the balance point isn't nearly as high.

What you'll feel as a balance point will probalby not be close. I konw cause i thought i was there until i saw video of it, and i had a long way to go.

 

it keeps moving. when you start you think you are so high. then you see yourself and realize there is alot to go. Once you hit it you can feel the bike floating in the air with no throttle. this is nirvana.

 

ive also been wondering that. it feels like im high in the air but pepole tell me different. i dont want to loop it.

 

it'll feel like hte bike disappears when you hit balance point

 

today i followed everyones advice .. i had sum-1 video tape me and my boy ... i was dissapointed i still have a long way to go till i reach the balance point .. and i thought i was like straight up ...

i have to say though i finnally got my first standups ... 1st gear and 2nd ... by then end of the day i was pullin em up at like 10mph too .. i love this ****

 

good job, it's a great feeling to get a stunt down.

 

have someone tape you. and then watch and see how high you really are. thats the best help there is!!

Utill you 12 you dont relize how far back you can go the. New riders think they are going to flip, but remeber most of us ride race bikes. They are designed to go fast not to wheelie. So practice bringing the bike up to balance point. The point where you think your going to flip is where balance point starts, just keep it there. Video is key to let you see your progress.
