Re: Slow Wheelies

Best advice anybody can give you is practice... And practice alot... When ya friends want to hit the streets just to tool around, you hit the spot and practice..

No matter how tired you are after work(my problem)jump on the bike and hit up the spot and practice anyway. even if its only for 30mins to an hour... Just practice and it will come... Not over night, but with enough practice it will come soon enoguh..

There's two sticky's at the top of this forum. lots of good info, check those out...

almost everyone on this site is helpful, but it's hard to answer the question every time for every newbie to the site when there is a huge sticky at the top of the page saying exactly what you asked and you didn't even bother to read it or do a search.

My bad dude.............a lot of people are helpful on this website, figured that was the point of it, and im thankful its here to help people out..........but you gotta realize its just a website, if dont feel like responding to a repeated question because a "Newbie" didnt see the thread......you dont have to bro.....nobody is holdin a gun to your head.........and for all the other riders who responded to my question with no negativity..........Thanks Guys

it takes a lot to kill an xr50. only real way you can even hurt them is by jumping them...that's the only way i've seen them get hurt, casing some hard jumps. other than that, they are tanks. mine has been beaten pretty hard and it still runs great.

Re: Slow Wheelies

Well I didnt buy into the "get a 50" approach so I am not sure if it would of helped me...Pretty tough to drop $1000 on a 50 just to learn brake control
on top of all the other xpenses that the stunt game brings your way...

JPRATT is right on the money, when the rest of the boyz are out causing havoc you head down to the spot to practice..I cant say how many times the boyz have rolled up to the spot to find me already there puttin in time...
This shiat is all about practice and fighting the fear...Enough practice conquers both...

Cheers
