Still Learning
My longest wheelie of the day...
Keep in mind I'm still learning but progressing ever day... :YEAH
I could never ride them out but I think in this video, I'm in the balance point.... but I don't know maybe you all can tell me it looks pretty smooth.

Re: Still Learning
alright , i see a lil progress and your lookin better than some people would be doing ona 250, but your a good like... foot away? the bp on a sportbike is way high for sit downs... every time you clutch bring it up hgher and higher until you feel weightless and you throttle hand isnt doing much chopping, you might even drift to one side or the other... "this is good, so keep weight centered" if i was you i would clutch from like 5 mph, with low *** psi to get as high as you can, and set it down... cause this way you feel the ballance point and kno what it feels like rigth befor you loop 
but your only gonna be on your *** at like 10 mph so you pick your bike up and try it over again just keep at it and keep pushing yourself to go higher, i find that insulting yourself by calling names such as "little gurl, and little *****, kid, and other ****" will make me go harder teh next time.. its weird... lmfao.. i dunno, if you want to take my advise tho man... im layed up right now good luck with it tho man, i kno your get it my friend, all in due time....

Your looking pretty good on that F4i man.... Once I get my wheelies perfectly balanced and standups down... I'll be the happiest man alive.

i like it, cept for the arms...
have you noticed how much more respect you're getting since you're throwing some decent stuff up? I think it's kinda funny, everyones gained some respect for you.

Re: Still Learning
Kelm...nice wheelie man. As everyone else is saying, now just lean back. It helps if you just scoot your asz back a little before you clutch it, and then try to hold yourself in that position. Looking good man. :YEAH
You're doing what I used to...whenever you punch it to go fast...you tuck. But this aint racing son, it's stuntin'! So lean back brotha!!

Re: Still Learning
NICE BRO! you're gettin them up there now! keep practicing and you'll get more comfortable and then you'll be able to sit back a little! (no much, just a few inches)
alright! thanks to Rocky for getting him the rear footpegs, time to learn some standup offsets bro! keep at it, you'll be rolling some sick stuff SOON!!!
REMEMBER to cover the rear brake! (do i even need to say it anymore?
you were covering it perfect in the vid bro! keep up the good work!!!)
