Re: Progression Video!
also, come from a dead stop. dont be rolling when u clutch up. if you clutch alll the way up right from a stop its a whole lot less scary then when ur carrying speed trying to get there. good luck.

Re: Progression Video!
My 10 bits of advice and I think everyone will agree:
1. Couldnt tell if you had a cage on it, but get one.
2. Remove all plastics unless its a daily driver and you care how you look.
3. Get an easy pull clutch (1 finger)
4. 12 Bar will help because you can go past BP and save on bar.
5. Raise your idle up high. (smoothes out the wheelie)
6. Tire pressure I started is 10 psi, as you get better raise it.
7. Clutch it high as hell and lightly catch with your foot brake.
8. Stiffen up all your suspension.
9. If you can practice BP on a 4 wheeler for a while.
10. Practice, Practice, Practice. Eventually you will get it.
Speed Kills, Slow Thrills.

Re: Progression Video!
dude i havn't done wheelies sitting down yet cause they scare the **** out of me and i can't see anything. trust me learning staggered is weird at first but after awhile youll get used to it. took me 3 days of practice to learn.....3 long days.

Re: Progression Video!
might have been said, i didnt read everyones posts. your too choppy on the throttle. turn ur idle up and it wont be as bad. and like im sure yuo've heard a millions times b4. when u think ur @ BP....... go back further. makes sur u cover the brake. u will know when u are at BP cause u wont be accelerating.
just my 2 cents. good luck!!

Re: Progression Video!
Good job man!! A few things ...
your panic revving your bike before you let the clutch out : Rev once and let the clutch out! {{if your revving more then once your thinking too hard about it}}}
as your pop the clutch you move your body toward the bike! ::: DONT! bring the bike to you!... not you to the bike!
and RELAX!! and just have fun!!
The best time I ever had in this sport was back in the day, when me and my boys could not do ****...and it was fun just to learn!!!

Re: Progression Video!
Your tire spins because you are not bouncing it up. When u clutch it up give it a bounce by pressing down on the front forks and with ur feet on ur pegs and then clutch it and it wont spin.
