Just keep practicing... all you can do. The more hours you put in, the more you'll get out of it.

Ok, well don't over-do it too. Fatigue will kick your *** every time when stunting. Get your rest man. Some of the best stunters will tell you that sometimes take a week or two off and then come back rested. You'd be surprised how much better you ride.

You are going to hate yourself if you pancake on the stator side and bend the end of your crank.

Re: brake control a must

hey this is a little off topic, But I finally got comfy with the rear brake this past week. I look back now, and coming here and reading you guys rip on on people for stupid **** was probably the only reason I haven't busted my ***.

So thanks you guys....thank you for keeping me from becoming that douche who sits on his tank while riding around.

You do use brake control? What did you forget to activate it after you turned on your bike? I hate when I forget to turn on the ABS, brake control, and CCS (circle control system). Your foot should always be covering the brake so when you give it just a little too much just apply the brake
