Stand up 12's VS Sit down 12's
What did everyone learn 1st?
I learned stand up 12's first. I think they are alot easier both to do & learn. And to control if hte bike goes to one side or wabbles.
After about an hour trying it, i learned to do sit down 12's last night, hit the tail good a few times and slowed it way down for some nice ones. But, i can still ride a slower, steadier stand up.
Im just curious to see what everyone else learned first.

when you guys learned stand up 12's, did you ROCK the bar hard right away with little brake or did you pull up the wheelie and ride it back slow with the brake???? i have done sit down 12's, but i really don't like them too much, not enough control ....probably would help if i had a bar too...

Well...since I can't do either I can't really reply, but I'd say sit down twelves look a lot better but stand up will probably be the first way I learn if I ever get a large enough sack to try.

I've been thinking of making my own special scraper that doesn't make the bike look really ugly on the ***....
