I looped out again grrr!!!!
So I haven't practiced since around march up until a couple days ago and I am still learning balance, throttle, and brake control. I was trying to clutch it up fast at around 5 mph and keep from going over ~15mph while wheeling I was tired, feeling cocky, and it was pitch black (no lights and I could barely see the curbs to use as guides) 
Anyway I slipped the clutch with too much throttle..I was instantly on my back 
I'm pretty pissed I'd been doing pretty good the last couple days and now I have to fix a lot of ****.
Tore my front brake line, cracked the front master cylinder, Snapped a motor mount that was attached to the FI cage. Ripped off the left bar end slider, bent both clip ons, snapped off the left foot peg, tweaked my right foot peg, foot peg bracket, and rear brake lever. Cruched my whole tail assembly, put 3 nice dings in my gas tank, and scuffed the hell out of my right side rear fearing and my new headlight. My left arm is rashed and side is bruised. DAMNIT! I'm pretty dissapointed with myself the FI cage I thought the cage would've done a better job at protecting the pegs than it did.. I was only doing ~5-15mph!
On the flip side my goal tonight was to touch my tail which I did just not how I wanted to..

Re: I looped out again grrr!!!!
take your time, practice in a well lit area, you must be confident. dont scrape that tail till your ready or things will get nasty real quick. study some videos, practice with someone better than you. practice at least 3 hours per day 5 days a week, minimum. the days where you take off you should be working on your bike or watching stunt videos and thinking about your progress. get a notepad, set goals, achieve goals, and take notes, track the progress.

Re: I looped out again grrr!!!!
For people learning the brake, you don't remember it when the bike suddenly slips behind bp. I remember when I was learning that I'd think I was doing pretty good right around bp but then suddenly I'd give it a bit too much gas and your brain goes, "OH ****" and you just forget about the brake and try to protect yourself...
