I was told to learn to coast them out first before I try and scrape, then it should come smooth from there but I had to scrape a few times to say i did it, now I'll try and work on coastin a lil more....a successful scrape WILL be in the near future..... :YEAH

Try moving your foot so that the footpeg is right under your heel instead of the middle of your foot.
Re: Scrapin'
i have problems with it twistin on me once in awhile, its all in keepin your throttle and brake steady and consistant. when i rush, i **** up, just try to learn how to walk it nice slow, thats where i fu(ked up, i went for 12 right away and i should have practiced the slow **** first, dont go *** back wards like i did, it only makes it harder...good luck!

Odd enough, learn brake control. (possibly with a 50, or even just repeat in your head REARBRAKE REARBRAKE)
First day out with my bar on, I tapped it no problem... my friends told me a lot of the times I was like an inch off the bar and by reflex was just tappin the rear brake :D
Gotta love my 50 for learning that **** first.

so you think ridin a 50 or even a quad will help with brake/throttle control? or is it just a confidence booster?
