Re: Need help!

i putt both feet on the edge of the back seat(frontof back seat). and i keep my knees completely bent(my knees touch the gas tank). clutch the bike, once it comes up, then i stand up completely extend legs straight. it is easier to steer the bike with your legs straight up. my bike wobbles to much if my knees are bent. get used to riding them with both feet first and get comfortable, before you lift up one leg(flamingo) its harder to steer it with 1 leg hanging in the air behind you. and most important watch your height at first/ no rear break unless u got a handbreak?

Re: Need help!

i've tried seat standers a couple times also, and it feels like i'm too tall, i'm 5'11''. I guess it's just like anything else, it takes practice.

Im 6'1" Its a lil harder for us tall guys, but it just takes practice. Just lock your knees out. dont think about it, just do it.

Re: Need help!

another problem that i have is that i always seem to turn the front wheel when i bring up a seat stander wheelie. I guess it's cause i'm pulling on the bars and powering it up. I need to buy a steering damper
